The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council has announced that additional appointments will be made as the campaign continues to expand its national structure. This was stated by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication, in a statement released on Saturday in Abuja. According to Shaibu, the recently released list of appointments represents a significant stage in the organisation of the campaign but is not the final composition of the council.
Shaibu emphasized that the campaign is still evolving, with ongoing consultations and further responsibilities to be assigned as the structure expands across the country. He assured party members that Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate, remains deeply conscious of the sacrifices made by those who have stood with him over the years. Shaibu added that loyalty, sacrifice, and friendship are valued and will be remembered.
The campaign council will draw on loyal party members, experienced leaders, professionals, young people, and everyday Nigerians willing to contribute meaningfully to its work. Shaibu stated that in the coming days, the campaign will announce its zonal and state structures, additional senior appointments, and other layers of organisation extending to wards and polling units across the country.
The campaign is strengthening its policy architecture to address critical national issues, including the cost of living, food security and agriculture, security, energy and power, jobs and industrialisation, manufacturing and SMEs, education, healthcare, infrastructure, housing, public finance, governance, technology and innovation, social protection, natural resources, the environment, and human capital development.
According to Shaibu, Nigeria's challenges are interconnected and cannot be addressed in isolation. The objective is to ensure that every major national problem is matched with a serious, practical, and implementable policy response capable of improving the everyday lives of Nigerians. This will be achieved by bringing together Nigerians of proven competence, experience, and global perspective.
The campaign is described as a people-driven national campaign that will continue to grow organically, drawing strength from Nigerians who share the desire to build a country where life is more affordable, businesses can thrive, young people can find opportunity, and families can once again look to the future with confidence. There is room in this journey for every sincere hand willing to serve.
Atiku Abubakar's campaign is expected to be one of the major contenders in the 2027 general elections, alongside other parties such as the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP). The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is positioning itself to make a significant impact in the elections.
