ADC Demands Action After Attack on Sokoto Governorship Candidate
The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to security authorities in Sokoto State to identify those responsible for the attack on its governorship candidate, Alhaji Munir Dan Iya. The attack occurred along Airport Road as Dan Iya was returning from the airport with former governor and Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
The ADC-PCC alleges that operatives from the state-owned Sokoto Marshals attacked Dan Iya's convoy, vandalizing several vehicles, including his personal SUV. The council claims that the Sokoto Marshals have been harassing motorists and targeting vehicles with ADC symbols.
The incident has been reported to the Sokoto State Commissioner of Police. The ADC-PCC described the attack as political intimidation and part of a broader pattern of violence against opposition figures.
They called for an investigation and warned that failure to act would lead to further lawful steps to protect their members. The ADC-PCC reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful political engagement.
