The Sokoto State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has adopted former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
The decision was announced on Sunday during a press briefing at the party’s secretariat in Sokoto by Muktari Magori, former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
Magori said the endorsement followed wide consultations among party leaders and stakeholders across the state ahead of the ADC presidential primaries scheduled for Monday.
“The essence of this press conference is to officially announce the consensus reached by members and stakeholders of the ADC in Sokoto State to adopt His Excellency, former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Wazirin Adamawa, as the party’s sole presidential candidate ahead of the primaries,” he stated.
He added that the adoption reflects the confidence of party members in Atiku’s vast experience, national reach, and leadership qualities.
“After extensive consultations, we are convinced that Atiku Abubakar possesses the experience, national reach, and leadership qualities needed to provide direction for the country and lead the ADC to victory in 2027,” Magori said.
The briefing was attended by prominent ADC stakeholders, including senatorial and House of Representatives candidates, members of the State Working Committee led by the party chairman, Hon. Abdullahi Maigwandu, and delegates from the 23 local government areas.
Atiku’s adoption by the Sokoto ADC adds to growing endorsements from other state chapters as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 polls.
