Dr. Tonte Ibraye, the 2023 governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State, has resigned from the party, citing its internal leadership crisis and concerns over the legitimacy of its 2027 electoral processes. In a resignation letter dated September 24, 2026, addressed to the ADC Ward Chairman in Degema Ward 16, Bille, Ibraye said recent developments within the party made it difficult for him to continue as a member. He also criticized the opposition's focus on unseating President Bola Tinubu without presenting Nigerians with a clear alternative governance strategy. Ibraye stated that he had remained committed to the ADC's principles of internal democracy, fairness, and respect for legitimate party structures, but could no longer reconcile those commitments with attempts by some new members to displace existing ones.
