The African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential campaign council says its candidate, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, will campaign across Nigeria’s 36 states ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The ADC council says it will publish a campaign schedule soon and that no state will be left out.
Across the reports, ADC spokesperson Phrank Shaibu is quoted or described as emphasizing that the campaign is intended to reach beyond only state-capital rallies, including additional forms of engagement. Nigerian Eye also says Shaibu addresses concerns that the effort would be focused mainly on northern Nigeria, and he discusses plans such as town-hall meetings and visits to local government areas and villages. The reports also frame the announcement in the context of President Bola Tinubu’s approach to campaigning, which is described as more limited, according to Nigerian Eye.
