Former Vice-President and ADC Presidential Candidate Atiku Abubakar has warned of an attempt to disrupt the ADC's campaign rally in Sokoto State. The alleged plot involves mobilizing protesters to cause disorder and pressure the state government into imposing a curfew, according to Atiku. During a press briefing in Abuja, Atiku accused the Sokoto State Government of impeding the party's preparations by blocking access to public facilities and denying logistical support.
He alleged that the Department of State Services is recruiting individuals to stage protests, acting as part of a broader strategy to undermine political competition and potentially create a one-party state under President Bola Tinubu's administration. Atiku criticized the government for failing to address critical issues such as the rising cost of living, including food, transportation, fuel, and electricity prices.
He also vowed to travel to Sokoto on Wednesday to address supporters and emphasized the ADC's commitment to resisting any attempts to impede the campaign, regardless of the obstacles.
