ADC PCC Thanks Nigerians for Heroic Welcome in Sokoto, Kebbi

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council, ADC PCC, has thanked Nigerians who turned out in large numbers to welcome the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, in Sokoto and Kebbi States. The Director-General of the Campaign Council, Senator Austin Akobundu, described the welcome as a powerful expression of enthusiasm for the ADC campaign.

Akobundu, in a personally signed statement, thanked everyone who attended the rallies and helped make them a success. He challenged the Federal Government and the APC-led administration to prove their confidence at the ballot box by allowing a genuinely free and fair election. The ADC PCC Director-General expressed concerns about the APC’s willingness to face the people in a free contest.

Akobundu urged the Federal Government and the APC to allow Nigerians to choose their leaders without intimidation, obstruction, or interference. He emphasized that the ballot must remain the people’s choice and every party must be allowed to campaign freely. The ADC PCC Director-General called on party supporters to remain calm and resolute.

The ADC will continue to engage Nigerians across the country with its message of affordable living, opportunity, and national renewal. Akobundu expressed gratitude to everyone who welcomed the candidates in Sokoto and Kebbi and looked forward to meeting more Nigerians as the campaign continues. The party aims to promote peaceful and confident campaigning.

The welcome in Sokoto and Kebbi States reflects the people’s enthusiasm for the ADC campaign and their determination to have a voice in the country’s future. Akobundu’s statement emphasized that the resort to a backdoor process to stop the ADC through a court judgment only deepens concerns about the APC’s willingness to face the people in a free contest.

The ADC PCC Director-General’s statement comes amid recent political developments in Nigeria. On November 1, 2026, troops rescued 11 kidnap victims after gun battles with bandits in Kebbi. Other recent news includes Yari vowing to intensify mobilization for Tinubu’s re-election and Akpabio predicting victory for Tinubu in the South South region.

The ADC campaign continues to promote its message of affordable living, opportunity, and national renewal. The party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, will continue to engage with Nigerians across the country. The ADC PCC remains committed to peaceful and confident campaigning.
