In the Sokoto State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a faction has made its stance clear on the party's governorship candidate for the 2027 elections. According to the faction's state chairman, Umar Faruk, Zaki Muhammad Tambuwal will remain their chosen candidate. Faruk made this announcement while speaking to journalists in Sokoto, addressing the recent Federal High Court ruling in Abuja regarding the party's leadership and candidate nominations.
Faruk emphasized that the Sokoto chapter recognizes the leadership structure headed by Nafiu Bala, under which Tambuwal was selected as the party's governorship candidate. He clarified that Manir Muhammad Dan’Iya is not the candidate acknowledged by the faction under the leadership of Nafiu Bala. Faruk stressed that the validity of party candidacies should be decided through established legal and constitutional processes, rather than based on individual decisions or unapproved declarations.
The faction urged party members and supporters to remain composed and refrain from actions or statements that could create confusion or weaken the party's unity prior to the 2027 elections. Faruk affirmed that the Sokoto chapter is dedicated to strengthening its structures and engaging with grassroots communities in preparation for the upcoming elections.
