ADC ready to defeat APC — Atiku reveals how

Published

on

A presidential aspirant in opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has expressed optimism that the party is ready to defeat the “failing” All Progressives Congress (APC) in the elections ahead.

The Waziri Adamawa stated this in a post on his X on Saturday after a meeting with ADC stakeholders from Adamawa State at his residence in Abuja.

He, however, stressed the need for unity, inclusiveness, and fairness while advising the new state party executives.

The post read, “Yesterday evening, I received stakeholders of the Adamawa State chapter of the ADC at my Abuja residence, a visit that deeply touched me. I thanked them for the gesture and reminded the new state leadership that unity is now their sacred duty: to heal divisions, carry everyone along, and lead with fairness.

“I remain convinced that the ADC has risen as Nigeria’s true opposition force. One that is strong in ideals, structure, and resolve, and ready to challenge and defeat the failing APC in the elections ahead.”

The visit came after protest from the supporters of a prominent ADC chieftain and governorship aspirant from Adamawa State, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, popularly known as Binani, against party congresses which returned Hon.Sadiq Dasin as the state party chairman.

The party national vice chairman, North East, Engr. Babachir David Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, was part of the stakeholders who visited Atiku.
