Atiku Abubakar's Sokoto Rally Highlights Local Struggles
On November 4, 2026, Sokoto residents gathered for a campaign rally supporting Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The motorcade took approximately three and a half hours to travel from Sultan Abubakar III International Airport to the ADC State Secretariat due to the massive turnout.
Residents voiced their frustrations over hunger, insecurity, and government neglect. Mallam Sabiu Faruk Maishanu described the hardship of fuel prices reaching N1,800 to N2,000, while Saidu Malunfashi lamented the impact of cattle rustling on his livelihood due to insecurity.
Mohammed Nahuche criticized Governor Ahmad Aliyu for neglecting the people of Sokoto. Atiku Abubakar pledged to address insecurity and introduce a production-based subsidy for petroleum products.
The ADC alleged that the Sokoto State Government attempted to hinder their campaign, which the government denied. The Department of State Services is investigating claims of recruited protesters to disrupt the rally.
