Massive crowd welcomes Atiku’s campaign motorcade in Yobe ahead of presidential rally

A large crowd of supporters on Sunday lined the streets of Potiskum, Yobe State, as the campaign motorcade of former Vice-President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, moved through the town.

Photographs and videos obtained by VERY NIGERIAN showed men, women and youths walking alongside a branded campaign truck conveying party leaders and supporters, with many waving flags, banners and posters.

Security personnel were also seen escorting the procession as supporters gathered along the roads. Vehicles, motorcycles and tricycles equally joined the motorcade during the campaign activity.

The campaign truck carried the inscriptions “Dokaji 2027” and “A Wajen Allah Muke Nema”, while supporters cheered and chanted as the procession moved through the town.

The turnout attracted reactions on social media, with some supporters describing the crowd as a sign of growing support for the ADC ahead of the 2027 general election.

Meanwhile, reports indicated that the ADC had been denied access to a venue in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, forcing the party to relocate its rally to Potiskum.

However, Our Journalist said it could not independently verify the claim about the alleged denial of a venue as of the time of filing the report.

Atiku’s campaign activity in Yobe also came amid a legal dispute over his emergence as the ADC presidential candidate. A Federal High Court in Abuja had reportedly nullified his emergence and removed the David Mark-led national executive of the party.

The court ruling has introduced further uncertainty into the party’s preparations for the 2027 general election.
