ADC Keeps Sokoto Campaign Venue Secret Amid Tensions

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has chosen not to disclose the location of its presidential campaign flag-off in Sokoto State, citing security concerns and alleged attempts by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to disrupt the event. The rally is scheduled for Wednesday, November 4.

ADC spokesman Dahiru Maishanu stated that the party had secured a venue but would reveal it only after receiving clearance from national leadership. Rising political tensions in Sokoto have led the ADC to take additional security measures, as they received information about potential disruptions.

The party has contacted the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) regarding these threats, and both agencies assured the ADC of adequate protection. Maishanu also mentioned that some party members had already arrived in Sokoto and secured accommodation.

The Sokoto State Police Command confirmed awareness of the planned campaign and stated that they had received formal communication from the organizers requesting security coverage.
