APC crisis highlights rising discontent among Nigerians, says Rivers ADC.

The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said that the escalating crisis within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), especially in Rivers State, signals growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians.

Following the mass withdrawals from the APC governorship primaries by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Tonye Cole, and Dr. Dax George‑Kelly on Wednesday night, ADC state chairman Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa stated that the current turmoil in the APC is an internal party matter.

“We believe it further highlights the growing dissatisfaction, uncertainty, and instability within the ruling political structure, both in Rivers State and across the country,” Dimkpa said. “For us in the ADC, and indeed for other opposition parties, the lesson is not to celebrate the challenges of others, but to recognise that Nigerians are yearning for a credible, stable, people‑oriented alternative capable of restoring confidence in governance and democratic leadership.”

Dimkpa added that the political consciousness of the people is rising daily. “Citizens are paying closer attention to issues of internal democracy, leadership sincerity, transparency, inclusiveness, and the ability of political parties to manage their own affairs responsibly.”

He noted that developments such as these create political openings for opposition parties that are organised, disciplined, and genuinely connected to the aspirations of the people. “But beyond leverage, our focus in ADC is to continue strengthening our structures across the 23 LGAs, mobilising credible leadership, and presenting practical solutions that resonate with the everyday realities of Rivers people and Nigerians at large.”

The Rivers State ADC chairman said that what the people want now is not endless political conflict but purposeful leadership, economic direction, security, jobs, and hope for the future. He added that ADC remains committed to offering that alternative.

He called on the Rivers people and Nigerians in general to rally around the ADC, which he said “is fully prepared to give Nigerians the best leadership.”
