ADC Campaign Council Lauds Supporters for Enthusiastic Welcomes in Sokoto and Kebbi
Senator Austin Akobundu, the Director-General of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council, has expressed heartfelt appreciation to supporters and Nigerians who warmly welcomed the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, along with his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, during recent events in Sokoto and Kebbi States.
The ADC campaign team noted that the overwhelming reception showcased the public’s passion for the party’s message and their eagerness to actively participate in determining the nation’s future.
In a formal statement, Akobundu thanked all those who attended, showing their solidarity with the candidates and contributing to the significant outpouring of popular support at the rallies.
Call for Free and Fair Elections
He urged the federal government and the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration to demonstrate their confidence by permitting a genuinely transparent election process. Akobundu highlighted the need for ethical campaigning, criticizing the APC for resorting to legal maneuvers to obstruct the ADC’s participation. He stated that such tactics only exacerbate existing concerns regarding their willingness to engage in a fair electoral contest.
“If the federal government and the APC are truly assured of their capacity to secure victory, they should facilitate an election that is free from duplicity and intimidation. It is vital that Nigerians are allowed to make their choices without fear or interference,” he emphasized. “Attempts to stifle the political landscape through backdoor judicial measures must cease.”
Akobundu further asserted that it is essential for citizens to have access to diverse political perspectives, attend events freely, and select their leaders without constraints. “The electoral process must remain a true reflection of the people’s choice, with every party granted the opportunity to campaign without hindrance,” he added.
Encouragement to ADC Supporters
In closing, he called upon ADC supporters to maintain composure and determination as they continue their peaceful and confident campaign efforts, affirming that the will of the people should ultimately prevail.
“The ADC will persist in our outreach to Nigerians, championing messages focused on affordable living, opportunity, and a renewed national vision. We are deeply thankful for the warm reception received in Sokoto and Kebbi, and we eagerly anticipate engaging with more citizens as the campaign progresses,” Akobundu concluded.
