The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council has announced that more appointments will be made as the campaign expands its national structure. According to the council's Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the recent appointments are an important stage in organising the campaign but do not represent its final composition. The campaign is still evolving, with ongoing consultations and further responsibilities to be assigned.
Shaibu assured supporters who were not included in the initial list that their contributions had not been overlooked. He stated that Atiku Abubakar remains conscious of the sacrifices made by those who have stood with him over the years. Loyalty, sacrifice, and friendship are valued, and those who feel disappointed are asked for patience and understanding. Their years of commitment and sacrifice have not been forgotten.
The campaign will draw on party members, experienced leaders, professionals, young people, and other Nigerians willing to contribute to its activities. Shaibu said the campaign would soon announce its zonal and state structures, additional senior appointments, and other layers of organisation extending to wards and polling units across the country. This expansion aims to strengthen the campaign's presence and engagement nationwide.
The campaign is also strengthening its policy structure to address various national challenges. It will bring together Nigerians with expertise and experience in areas such as the cost of living, food security and agriculture, security, energy and power, job creation, industrialisation, and education. The goal is to ensure that every major national problem is matched with a serious, practical, and implementable policy response.
According to Shaibu, Nigeria's challenges are interconnected and cannot be addressed in isolation. The campaign aims to improve the everyday lives of Nigerians by providing policy responses that address these challenges. The policy structure will focus on areas such as healthcare, infrastructure, housing, public finance, governance, technology and innovation, social protection, natural resources, the environment, and human capital development.
Shaibu described the campaign as a "people-driven national campaign" that will continue to expand by drawing support from Nigerians who want improved affordability, stronger businesses, greater opportunities for young people, and renewed confidence in the country's future. The campaign is open to sincere hands willing to serve, and there is room for everyone to contribute.
The campaign's approach focuses on preserving the bond between party members, leaders, and supporters. By expanding its structure and policy framework, the campaign aims to ensure that every Nigerian has a voice and an opportunity to contribute to the country's growth and development. The campaign's goal is to provide a renewed sense of hope and confidence in Nigeria's future.
