The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council has generously thanked the people of Nigeria for their enthusiastic support of their presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, during their rallies in Sokoto and Kebbi states. ADC Director-General, Senator Austin Akobundu, expressed deep appreciation for the overwhelming turnout of supporters, highlighting the strong enthusiasm for the ADC and the desire to have a voice in the nation's future.

In a statement issued by Akobundu, he extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the rallies, stood by the candidates, and contributed to the resounding show of popular support. The ADC urged the federal government and the APC-led administration to demonstrate their confidence in the electoral process by allowing a genuinely free and fair election.

They criticized the APC's attempt to halt the ADC's campaign through a court ruling, emphasizing that such actions only underscore concerns about their commitment to a fair contest.

Akobundu challenged the APC to follow proper procedures in their campaigns, stating that their attempts to undermine the democratic process by seeking to remove the ADC from the contest through illegal means is deeply troubling. He called on Nigerians to have the freedom to hear diverse ideas, attend political events, and choose their leaders without intimidation or interference. The ballot must remain the people's choice, and every party should be permitted to campaign freely.

The ADC's statement concluded with a call for the party's supporters to remain calm and resolute, continuing to campaign peacefully and confidently, knowing that the people's will will ultimately prevail. They pledged to continue engaging with Nigerians nationwide, sharing their message of affordable living, opportunity, and national renewal. Senator Akobundu expressed deep gratitude to those who welcomed the ADC candidates in Sokoto and Kebbi, looking forward to meeting more Nigerians as the campaign progresses.
