  • The Rivers state chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has downplayed the influence of the 'Rainbow Coalition' political movement.
  • The party stated that democracy thrives on competition and that all political parties have a right to seek support.
  • The ADC emphasized that its focus remains on its own political activities and growth within the state.

The Rivers state chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has sought to minimize the political sway of the 'Rainbow Coalition,' a movement associated with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The party asserted that a healthy democracy is built on competition, and every political entity possesses the constitutional right to pursue electoral backing. This statement appears to be a response to perceptions of the 'Rainbow Coalition's' significant influence in the state's political landscape.

While acknowledging the constitutional rights of all parties, the ADC's stance suggests a desire to frame the political environment as one of open competition rather than dominance by a single movement. The party's focus, it indicated, remains on its own internal growth and political endeavors within Rivers state.
