The African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Rivers State has dismissed fears of internal stability, saying it is still united and kicking, despite recent happenings on the national political scene.
It said its structure of organisation is intact and functioning in all the 23 local government areas.
In a statement to journalists in Port Harcourt, the state chairman elect, Chukwudi Dimkpa gave the assurance.
The reaction comes after the defection of former Anambra State governor Peter Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from the ADC to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
But Dimkpa said the defections do not weaken the party, stressing that the party’s strength is anchored on shared principles and not personalities.
He added that the present situation provides a window for the party to deepen grassroots mobilisation and consolidate its presence at ward, local government and state levels.
The African Democratic Congress in Rivers State wishes to reassure its members, supporters and the good people of the state that the party remains strong, united and firmly committed to its mission of delivering people-oriented leadership and governance.
“The ADC in Rivers State reiterates that the strength of the party lies not in individuals, but in its values, structures and the collective will of the people.
“We are committed to providing relief, restoring dignity and building a future of shared prosperity for all.”
The party also reaffirmed its commitment to provide a viable alternative through accountable leadership, economic opportunities, social justice and inclusive governance.
It called on members to hold firm and encouraged residents to take part in the ongoing registration exercise as a means of expanding its support base.
