The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has nominated David Okumgba as its deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 Rivers State governorship election. Both reports say the decision is communicated through a party statement issued by the Rivers State ADC, and that it is signed by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Chizy Enyi. The Daily Post Nigeria report describes Okumgba as a seasoned administrator and accomplished businessman, presenting the nomination as part of the party’s preparations for the upcoming election. Punch similarly reports that the ADC in Rivers State names Okumgba as its deputy candidate for the 2027 elections. The sources do not provide further details on the party’s gubernatorial candidate, the nomination process beyond the statement, or whether Okumgba’s running mate position is subject to any additional party screening. The reports therefore focus mainly on the formal announcement of the deputy governorship nomination and the party’s stated profile of the selected candidate.
