More than 600 members of the African Democratic Congress have been brought together to spearhead the party’s campaign activities in Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 elections, following the inauguration of the campaign council by former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami.
Malami charged the newly inaugurated council to turn its large membership into an effective grassroots mobilisation network capable of taking the ADC’s message to voters across the state.
Speaking during the inauguration, the former minister said the council was created to coordinate the party’s campaign and provide support for all ADC candidates contesting the forthcoming elections.
He warned members against approaching the campaign as a contest centred on a single candidate or position, insisting that the party’s various candidates must receive collective support.
“This Campaign Council represents our collective ADC campaign. It is not about one candidate or one elective position,” Malami said.According to him, the campaign must cover the governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly contests, with members operating as one political family.
The former Attorney-General urged party leaders and supporters to put aside tribalism, sectionalism and internal rivalry, warning that divisions within the party could undermine its electoral prospects.
He also encouraged stakeholders to embrace reconciliation and dialogue whenever disagreements arise, saying internal disputes should not be allowed to distract members from the party’s wider political objectives.
Malami tasked the campaign council with taking the ADC’s message beyond major political centres by mobilising supporters across local governments, wards and communities.
He further directed members to ensure that the party’s campaign remained peaceful, lawful and centred on issues rather than personal attacks and inflammatory rhetoric.
The former minister specifically warned against hate speech and ethnic provocation, urging ADC supporters to engage political opponents responsibly throughout the campaign.
Malami also reminded members that their appointment to the campaign council should be viewed as a duty to serve the party and its supporters, rather than a personal reward.
He called on the council members to work collectively and remain focused on securing success for the ADC in the forthcoming elections as the party steps up its political activities in Kebbi State.
