ADC postpones Sokoto Presidential Campaign Flag-Off to November 4
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed the flag-off of its presidential campaign in Sokoto State from October 31 to November 4, 2026.
The postponement was announced in a statement issued on Wednesday by the party’s Presidential Campaign Council in Sokoto State, which attributed the decision to planning and coordination considerations.
“The decision follows the need to address certain planning and coordination considerations to ensure the successful conduct of the event,” the statement said.
The development comes amid allegations by the ADC that the Sokoto State Government directed hotels in the state capital to deny accommodation to delegates expected to attend the campaign flag-off.
The party had claimed that some delegates who had secured accommodation and checked into hotels were subsequently asked to leave following the alleged directive.
The ADC condemned the reported actions, describing them as an attempt to frustrate its preparations for the political event. However, the allegations had not been independently verified.
In announcing the new date, the campaign council apologised to party leaders, stakeholders, supporters and members of the public for any inconvenience caused by the postponement.
“The Campaign Council regrets any inconvenience the change may cause and sincerely appreciates the understanding, patience and continued support of party leaders, stakeholders, supporters and members of the public,” the statement added.
The council urged party members and other stakeholders to take note of the revised date, assuring them of its readiness to welcome political leaders, supporters and other guests to the event.
The postponement comes as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections, with the ADC seeking to mobilise supporters and consolidate its presence in Sokoto State.
