2027: Atiku storms Yobe despite ADC judgment, draws massive crowd

On Sunday, thousands of supporters gathered in Potiskum to witness the campaign motorcade of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. The procession was a sight to behold, with supporters eagerly lining the streets, waving flags, banners and posters, and cheering as the branded campaign truck carrying party leaders and loyalists moved through the town.

Security personnel escorted the procession, ensuring the safety of the large crowd that stretched along the road. Many vehicles, motorcycles, and tricycles joined the rally, adding to the festive atmosphere. This massive turnout has been described by supporters as a clear indication of growing support for the ADC ahead of the 2027 general election.

The ADC had initially been denied a venue in Damaturu, the state capital, which forced the party to relocate its rally to the ancient town of Potiskum. However, this claim could not be independently verified by DAILY POST at the time of filing the report. Despite the Abuja Federal High Court judgment that nullified Atiku's emergence as the presidential candidate of the ADC and sacked the David Mark-led executives of the party, his campaign rally in Yobe proceeded as planned, drawing a massive crowd of men, women, and youths.
