Shinkafi stated that the party will tell its people what the ADC will do for them and explain its plans. He is optimistic that the party will win the support of voters across the state.

Shinkafi's decision to accept the governorship ticket was based on his confidence in the party's prospects in the state. He believes that the ADC has a strong chance of winning the election. The party's mobilisation efforts will not be deterred by the presence or influence of prominent political stakeholders in the state. Shinkafi maintained that the party will seek the support of voters across the state as it prepares for the 2027 governorship contest.

The ADC is stepping up its organisational activities and mobilisation ahead of the polls. The party will take its campaign to the grassroots and engage voters on its plans for the people of Zamfara. Shinkafi's comments reflect the growing excitement and anticipation ahead of the 2027 elections. The ADC is expected to play a significant role in the elections, with Shinkafi leading the charge in Zamfara State.
