ADC hails Sokoto residents for massive turnout at Atiku rally

Yusuf Suleiman, the Deputy Director-General of Administration for the Atiku Abubakar 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, has expressed gratitude to the residents of Sokoto State for their massive turnout and support during a recent rally, according to Punch.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated that the Sokoto rally was a historic event intended to rescue Nigerians from hunger, unemployment, and the corruption and incompetence of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Okonkwo claimed the rally shook the APC to the bone marrow.

His comments follow a Thursday judgment delivered in Abuja by Justice Peter Lifu, which Daily Post Nigeria reports nullified the leadership of the ADC led by former Senate President David Mark. The court decision also cancelled all decisions made by that leadership, including the primary election that produced Atiku Abubakar as the party's presidential candidate. Additionally, the judgment nullified the emergence of Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary and other candidate nominations.
