An Islamic scholar, Dr Abdulmuddalib Muhammad Auwal, has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Zamfara State and declared his intention to contest the governorship ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Auwal, who formally registered with the ADC on Sunday at the state party secretariat, was supported by the ADC Chairman of Tudun Wada Ward.

He was received and welcomed by ADC leaders and stakeholders from Tudun Wada Ward and Gusau LGA, alongside a large crowd of party members. Auwal said he joined the ADC because of the party’s sound ideologies and manifesto.

He said: “I have a personal desire to contribute to ensuring good governance by tackling security challenges and addressing poverty and vulnerability in Zamfara.

“I have blueprints to serve as a framework and strategic plans on education, health, insecurity, poverty reduction, and women and youth empowerment. “The ADC’s ideology aligns with my vision to rescue Zamfara from poor governance.”
