Abubakar Malami, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Kebbi State, condemns alleged attacks, intimidation and destruction of property during the party’s presidential campaign flag-off in Birnin Kebbi. The dispute is framed as part of tensions around the ADC’s campaign activity in the state.
Vanguard and The Punch both report Malami’s condemnation of the alleged incidents, but Vanguard’s coverage emphasizes the 2027 election context and the reactions from Malami and his representatives. Vanguard also adds a second strand to the story through comments from Malami’s media aide, who condemns the demolition of the headquarters of a Malami-linked support group in Birnin Kebbi, describing it as interference with democratic freedoms.
Across the outlets, the shared focus is on allegations of harm to ADC campaign participants and related political groups, with different attention paid to Malami directly and to statements by his aide.
