ADC Unveils Okumgba as Rivers Deputy Governorship Candidate for 2027 Poll
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has named Mr. David Amapakaye Okumgba as its deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 governorship election in Rivers State.
The announcement was made on Tuesday in Port Harcourt through a statement signed by the party’s Rivers State Chairman, Dr. Chukwudi Dimgba.
Dimgba described Okumgba, an indigene of Okrika Local Government Area, as an accomplished administrator, businessman and politician with extensive experience in public service and party administration.
He noted that Okumgba previously served as South-South Zonal Secretary and South-South Zonal Publicity Secretary of a political party. He also chaired the Appeal Committee for Senatorial Primaries in Edo State and had contested for a seat in the Rivers State House of Assembly.
According to the ADC chairman, the party’s decision to nominate Okumgba was informed by his political experience, organisational competence and deep understanding of Rivers State’s political landscape.
He said the qualities complement those of the party’s governorship candidate, Hon. Gabriel Baritulem Pidomson, adding that the ticket is well-positioned to provide credible leadership for the state.
Dimgba stated that the Pidomson-Okumgba ticket embodies the ADC’s commitment to good governance, transparency, accountability, economic growth, improved security and equal opportunities for all residents of Rivers State.
He urged party members, supporters and the electorate to rally behind the party’s candidates ahead of the 2027 governorship election, expressing confidence that the ADC would continue to champion unity and development across the state.
