Basking in the euphoria of the Supreme Court’s judgment that restored the leadership of Senator David Mark on Thursday, the Chairman-elect of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in River state, Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa, has charged the party to focus on strategising for winning the 2027 general elections.
Dimkpa said this in Port Harcourt on Friday, noting that, “The ruling represents a significant restoration of legal clarity and due process, reaffirming the principle that judicial actions must remain within the bounds of established jurisdiction.”
He said with the legal position now clarified, the ADC in the state should intensify efforts towards strategic preparation for the forthcoming elections.
“The party’s immediate priorities include strengthening grassroots structures across all the 23 local government areas, wards, and polling units, expanding membership base through ongoing registration and stakeholder engagement, building a disciplined, law-abiding, and issue-driven political movement,” he said.
According to him, the party will articulate a clear governance agenda that reflects the aspirations of the people of Rivers state, adding that the party was not merely preparing to participate in the elections, but “positioning itself as a credible alternative ready to win and govern effectively.”
He reaffirmed ADC’s commitment to the rule of law, due process, and democratic principles, while calling on all members, supporters, and stakeholders to remain united, focused, and committed in building a strong, inclusive, and forward-looking political platform.
