Atiku flags off ADC presidential campaign in kebbi, pledges subsidy restoration, improved security
By Yusuf Gwandu
The 2027 general elections have been described as a referendum between what the African Democratic Congress (ADC) calls the Federal Government’s bad policies and the struggle of Nigerians for survival.
The ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, made the declaration during the flag-off of his campaign in Kebbi State, where he also pledged to restore fuel subsidy and provide adequate security if elected president.
Supporters of the African Democratic Congress converged on the party’s secretariat in Birnin Kebbi to welcome former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other party chieftains ahead of the campaign rally.
Speaking at the event, the Director-General of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Austin Akobundu, commended party faithful for resisting what he described as intimidation by the state government to attend the gathering.
He said the 2027 general elections would be a referendum between suffering Nigerians and the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu.
The ADC National Chairman, in his remarks, described the party as a moving train that no amount of intimidation could stop.
He called on the people of Kebbi State to vote for Abubakar Malami as governor, Atiku Abubakar as president, and other ADC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
On their part, the ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Rotimi Ameachi criticised some projects being presented as achievements of the Tinubu administration, describing them as legacies of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
They maintained that the ADC was the alternative for Nigerians seeking the restoration of fuel subsidy and improved security across the country.
The event climaxed with the ADC National Chairman formally presenting the party’s flag to its Kebbi State governorship candidate, Abubakar Malami, as the party’s flagbearer for the 2027 election.
