ADC Launches 63-Member Campaign Team in Cross River

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) inaugurated a 63-member campaign organization in Cross River State on Wednesday, marking the start of its preparations for the 2027 general elections. Ekpo Okon, the National Coordinator of the Atiku/Amaechi Campaign Organisation, stated that Nigeria requires dedicated leaders to tackle its worsening economic conditions.

This inauguration followed a recent meeting of the ADC's North-West Zonal Caucus, which led to the establishment of its North-West Campaign Council. Okon criticized the Federal Government's removal of the fuel subsidy and currency devaluation, arguing these policies have exacerbated the living conditions of Nigerians.

He also raised concerns about rising university tuition fees and the burden of student loans on economically disadvantaged families. ADC governorship candidate Nkoyo Toyo outlined her vision for transforming Cross River State into a thriving society, emphasizing a comprehensive manifesto focused on citizens and economic growth.

She criticized the All Progressives Congress for failing to deliver results after 12 years in power.
