The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Bilyaminu Yusuf Shinkafi, has announced plans to intensify grassroots mobilisation as the party prepares for the 2027 governorship election. Shinkafi made this statement in Abuja during an interview with journalists. He revealed that the party would take its campaign to communities across the state to explain its programmes to voters and seek their support.
Shinkafi stated that as a journalist, he understands that the wind of change is blowing, especially in the northern part of Nigeria. However, he avoided making specific predictions about the outcome of the 2027 election. Instead, he assured that the ADC would focus on engaging voters directly rather than relying solely on political structures or prominent stakeholders.
The ADC candidate said the party would explain its programmes and convince residents to support its candidates across the ballot. He emphasised that the party would tell its people what the ADC will do for them and explain what it wants to do for them. Shinkafi expressed confidence that the party would convince voters to come out en masse and vote for the ADC from top to bottom.
The planned campaign office inauguration, scheduled for next month, is expected to provide the party with a platform to strengthen its organisational structure and coordinate its mobilisation efforts across Zamfara. This move comes as political parties step up preparations for the 2027 general elections, with the ADC seeking to build its presence at the grassroots.
Shinkafi has previously called for an issues-based campaign, identifying security, education, healthcare, agriculture, and employment among the areas that require attention in Zamfara. He said the ADC would continue engaging voters on its programmes and seeking their support across the state. The party’s mobilisation efforts would be centred on direct engagement with the electorate as the 2027 contest draws closer.
