Atiku Takes Presidential Campaign To Kebbi, Pledges To Restore Fuel Subsidy
Atiku vowed to tackle insecurity, create jobs and restore fuel subsidies as a court ruling cast doubt on the ADC’s 2027 nominations.
- On Wednesday, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar launched his presidential campaign in Sokoto, pledging to "reopen the country's land borders to allow trade with our sister countries, confront worsening insecurity and reduce pilgrimage fares for Muslim and Christian faithful if elected president in 2027."
- The ADC Presidential Campaign Council described the Sokoto turnout as a rejection of economic hardship, while alleging the Sokoto State Government obstructed preparations by sealing a building on Ahmadu Bello Way.
- Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court ruled on Thursday that ADC National Chairman David Mark's leadership was "unlawfully constituted," invalidating nomination decisions for the 2027 elections.
- Despite the ruling, Atiku proceeded with his campaign in Kebbi on Thursday, where Mark presented the party's governorship flag to former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami.
- Crediting President Bola Tinubu with economic progress, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II of Kano cited improvements in growth and inflation, though he acknowledged "there are clearly foundations being laid for stability. It's not the end, but the first step towards stability.
