The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) says its membership base has recently grown to more than 800,000, with several prominent politicians defecting to the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt over the weekend, the party’s spokesman, Luckyman Egila, described the ADC in Rivers as “a beautiful bride,” attracting high-profile political figures from across the state.

Egila named former governors Rotimi Amaechi and Celestine Omehia among the latest entrants, alongside former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.

“These persons have left their former parties and are now full members of the ADC,” Egila said. “You can only become a member when you have registered with the party and been issued a membership card, and all of them have done so.”

Others on the ADC’s growing roster in Rivers include former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Austin Okpara, and former Minister of Transport, Dr. Abiye Sekibo.

Egila said the calibre of politicians now in the party underscores its rising influence in the state’s political landscape.
