Atiku Abubakar Urges ADC Campaign Committee to Act Urgently

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 elections, addressed the party’s Presidential Campaign Committee (PCC) during its inauguration at the Shehu Musa Yar’adua Centre in Abuja. He emphasized the need for the committee to undertake its responsibilities with seriousness, urgency, and passion, stating, “You have a great deal of work to do.” Atiku highlighted the importance of technology in elections, insisting that it should serve the people and allow for scrutiny and independent audits.

He described the upcoming election as a rescue mission and urged Nigerians to utilize their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to influence the electoral outcome. He called for reforms to ensure transparency, including making polling-unit results public and allowing independent verification of results.

Senator David Mark, the party’s National Chairman, reinforced that the committee's task goes beyond winning elections, focusing on presenting a credible alternative to Nigerians. Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, the Chairman of the ADC-PCC, encouraged voters to actively participate in the electoral process.
