As President Bola Tinubu prepares to visit Rivers State for his re-election campaign, the state chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has expressed strong criticism. Tinubu is set to arrive in the state on Saturday, November 7, 2026, ahead of the November elections. The ADC, in a statement released Friday, accused the President of only remembering Rivers State during election periods.
Publicity Secretary Chizy Enyi revealed that Tinubu had not visited the state for any people-focused purpose since taking office over three years ago. Enyi stated that the President had failed to visit for federal project commissions, address critical issues, or provide any meaningful assistance. The ADC highlighted the six-month state of emergency as the only significant benefit from Tinubu's administration.
The party also accused Tinubu of portraying Rivers State as a crisis-ridden area to the international community, without a valid reason. Tinubu's visit is seen as a prelude to the 2027 general election, with the ADC asserting that the President's motive is to secure their votes. The ADC emphasized that Rivers State, a significant economic contributor to the nation, has been neglected for three years, with no presidential presence or federal impact.
