Rivers ADC downplays political influence of Wike’s ‘Rainbow Coalition’ movement

The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed the perceived political sway of the "Rainbow Coalition" movement, reportedly linked to former governor Nyesom Wike. The party asserted that the strength of any political entity lies in its ability to compete and engage with the electorate.

In a statement, the ADC emphasized that democracy inherently flourishes through competition. They affirmed that every political party possesses the constitutional right to pursue and secure the mandate of the people. This perspective suggests that the ADC views Wike's movement as just another political force operating within the established democratic framework.

The party's comments, as reported by Vanguard News, indicate a strategic positioning in the state's political landscape. By downplaying the influence of Wike's coalition, the ADC appears to be asserting its own relevance and challenging the notion that any single movement dictates political outcomes in Rivers State.
