The Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State, Manir Muhammad Dan’Iya (Walin Sokoto) has congratulated former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on his emergence as the ADC Presidential Candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Dan’Iya described Atiku’s emergence as a major milestone for the party and a significant step toward repositioning Nigeria for economic growth, national unity, peace, and sustainable development.
In a statement issued by his Press Secretary and Media Aide, Aminu Abdullahi, the ADC gubernatorial candidate praised Atiku for his longstanding commitment to democracy, national development, economic reforms, and inclusive governance.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar remains one of Nigeria’s most experienced political leaders, with a clear understanding of governance, economic transformation, and nation-building.
“His emergence as the ADC Presidential Candidate has strengthened the confidence of millions of Nigerians who desire competent, people-oriented leadership,” he said.
Dan’Iya stated that under Atiku’s leadership, the ADC is determined to place Nigeria on the path of prosperity, stability, and global relevance through policies that prioritise economic recovery, youth empowerment, education, security, infrastructure development, healthcare, and social welfare.
He noted that Nigerians are yearning for purposeful leadership capable of addressing the country’s socio-economic challenges, including insecurity, unemployment, inflation, poverty, and declining public confidence in governance.
“The ADC is committed to building a Nigeria where citizens can live in peace, pursue their aspirations freely, and benefit from responsible governance.
” Our vision is to restore hope, strengthen democratic institutions, create opportunities for youth, and position Nigeria among the leading nations of the world,” he said.
Dan’Iya called on Nigerians across religious, ethnic, and political divides to support the ADC in the 2027 elections, emphasising that national progress requires unity, active participation, and a collective commitment to democratic change.
He assured the party’s presidential candidate of his unwavering loyalty and support for the progress and success of the ADC at both state and national levels.
The ADC candidate also commended Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal for his leadership, political maturity, and strategic role in advancing the ADC coalition movement.
According to Dan’Iya, Senator Tambuwal’s experience, wisdom, and commitment to democratic values have been vital in strengthening opposition collaboration and building a united front capable of delivering credible leadership to Nigerians.
He expressed confidence that the ADC coalition would continue to gain wider acceptance across the country as Nigerians prepare for a new chapter of inclusive governance and national renewal.
Dan’Iya concluded by praying for divine guidance, wisdom, and success for the ADC leadership at all levels as the party works toward securing a better future for all Nigerians.
