ADC Reschedules Sokoto Campaign Flag-Off to November 4

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed its presidential campaign flag-off in Sokoto State from Saturday, October 31, to Wednesday, November 4, 2026. This decision was announced by the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, which cited planning and coordination considerations as the reason for the change.

The ADC has also alleged that the Sokoto State Government instructed hotels in the state capital to refuse accommodation to delegates attending the campaign event. Some delegates reportedly faced eviction from hotels after having checked in, following this purported directive.

The ADC condemned these alleged actions as attempts to hinder their preparations for the political event, although these claims have not been independently verified. The campaign council expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the postponement and thanked party leaders, stakeholders, and supporters for their understanding.

They emphasized readiness to welcome political leaders and guests to the rescheduled event, as political parties ramp up preparations for the 2027 general elections.
