ADC inaugurates Zamfara campaign committee

Thousands of supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) gathered at Freedom Square, Gusau, Zamfara State on Thursday for the inauguration of the party’s election committee ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The party’s senatorial candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Sale, has called on voters to support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for president and Zamfara state governorship candidate, Alhaji Bilyaminu Yusuf Shinkafi, alongside other ADC candidates.

Sale, who holds the traditional titles of Baraden Maru and Turakin Ruwan Dorowa, said an ADC administration would prioritize security, address economic hardship, reduce fuel prices and tackle corruption.

He urged party supporters to mobilize voters for all ADC candidates contesting national and state legislative seats, arguing that their election would help facilitate policies and legislation aimed at improving the lives of residents.

Sale described Shinkafi as a patient leader who, he said, would work to improve security and transform the state if elected governor.

He also appealed to voters to protect their votes and reject vote buying during elections.

Speaking to our correspondent, an ADC supporter, Mallam Sulaiman Ibrahim Maradun, said the party members mobilized supporters to ensure victory for the party candidates.

Likewise, Aishatu Salisu Anka said women in Zamfara state are ready to mobilize more women across the area to support the party.

Another supporter, Mallam Ibrahim Sale, said party members would work to protect their votes. She also urged women to reject the ruling party, which she accused of not serving the interests of the state.

The inauguration attracted ADC stakeholders, candidates from across the area and thousands of male and female supporters.
