Sokoto ADC endorses Atiku as 2027 presidential candidate
The Sokoto State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has adopted former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its preferred presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
A party leader, Alhaji Muktar Magori, made the announcement on Sunday during a press conference held in Sokoto on behalf of other stakeholders.
Magori, who once served as chief of staff to former Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, said the decision was reached through a consensus among ADC loyalists and other stakeholders in Sokoto State.
He explained that the adoption followed wide consultations within the party structure in the state, adding that members agreed on a united position ahead of the 2027 election.
“This decision is in preparation for the party’s forthcoming presidential primaries and the 2027 general elections,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the press briefing was attended by several ADC chieftains in the state, including former Commissioner for Information Alhaji Dahiru Maishanu, former Head of Service Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad, and the State Chairman of the party Alhaji Abdullahi Maigwandu, among others.
