ADC Primaries in Kaduna State: Controversy and Allegations

The ADC primaries in Kaduna State concluded amidst accusations of being a sham, with claims that the process was hijacked by new entrants pursuing selfish interests. The primaries, which took place in eleven wards across six local government areas, resulted in the declaration of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.

However, the results faced criticism for being manipulated to favor newcomers, undermining the integrity of the electoral process. Reports indicated that the conduct of the primaries was flawed, with calls for justice and accountability left unaddressed.

Jamilu Bello Dogarawa, a representative from Kaduna State, expressed concerns over the shoddy organization and the lack of response to grievances raised by party members. The situation reflects ongoing challenges within the ADC as it prepares for the upcoming elections.
