Atiku receives ADC candidates in Adamawa, urges mass mobilisation (Photos)
Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday received the party’s candidates contesting various elective positions in Adamawa State.
Atiku, also known as the Waziri Adamawa, confirmed the meeting in a post on his X handle.
He urged the candidates to commence grassroots engagement by mobilising residents and sensitising voters ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Atiku stressed the need for the candidates to connect directly with the people as the party prepares for the elections.
“Earlier today, I met with my fellow 2027 Adamawa State African Democratic Congress candidates across all elective positions, including our governorship candidate, Hamman Tukur Ribadu.
“I urged the party leaders, led by the Deputy National Chairman North East, Mr Daniel Bwala, and State Chairman Rt. Hon. Sadiq Ibrahim Dasin, to reconcile and unite all party members, and to begin engaging with our people through mass mobilisation and voter sensitisation efforts ahead of the upcoming general elections.
“I am pleased to see the party uniting to form a common front. I have encouraged them to maintain these efforts,” the post read.
On Friday, the former Vice President received a delegation of Ekiti ADC stakeholders, led by Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka, a former Deputy Governor of the state.
He expressed satisfaction with their commitment to the party and the rescue mission.
Atiku said they resolved to strengthen the partnership and review how to better position the party in Ekiti ahead of 2027.
In a separate tweet on Friday, the Waziri said he met with a delegation of the United Kingdom High Commission, led by its High Commissioner, Dr Richard Montgomery @RMontgomeryUK, at his residence in Abuja.
He said the High Commissioner was on a farewell visit to him.
