The Sokoto State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has thrown its weight behind former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its preferred presidential choice ahead of the 2027 elections, setting an early tone for the party’s internal race.
The position was made public on Sunday in Sokoto by party leader Alhaji Muktar Magori during a press briefing attended by senior stakeholders and officials of the party in the state.
Magori, a former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, said the endorsement followed broad consultations among ADC loyalists and key political actors in Sokoto State.
