The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has explained the reason behind the decision of its governorship aspirant in the May 2026 primary election, Dr Sokonte Davies, to align with the Rainbow Coalition.

The party said Davies became disappointed after losing the governorship primary of the ADC.

Davies’ decision to move his political allegiance to the Rainbow Coalition, a political group established by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, prompted the party’s reaction.

Davies met with Wike in Port Harcourt on Wednesday morning, where he announced his decision to join the coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Reacting to the development, the ADC said Davies’ “disappointment has now taken him on an interesting political journey, from seeking the ticket of a political party to joining a coalition that has no governorship ticket to give him.

“We confess that we are struggling to follow the mathematics.

“If the grievance was about not getting a governorship ticket in the ADC, one would have expected the next destination to be somewhere a governorship ticket was actually available.”

The party, however, acknowledged that “politics is a matter of choice, and Davies is entitled to make his.

“We only hope that when the excitement of the new photographs and handshakes settles, he finds whatever political fulfilment he could not find after the ADC primary.”
