Mohammed Hayatu-Deen Launches ADC Presidential Bid

On Thursday, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, a former top banker, officially expressed his interest in the presidential race by picking up the nomination form for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at the party's secretariat in Abuja. His campaign team, which included ADC officials and youth groups, showed significant support during the event.

Hayatu-Deen emphasized the need to tackle pressing issues such as insecurity and unemployment, which he described as major threats to Nigeria's future. He stated that no country can prosper when farmers cannot safely access their farms and that a lack of investor confidence hampers economic growth.

He pledged to pursue policies aimed at reducing the cost of doing business, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, and creating job opportunities for young Nigerians. Hayatu-Deen's extensive experience in the private sector is expected to enhance his appeal among young professionals seeking credible alternatives in the political landscape as the 2027 elections approach.
