The Bauchi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has thrown its weight behind former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The endorsement was made during a stakeholders’ meeting held in Bauchi on Sunday, where party leaders described Atiku as a seasoned politician with the experience needed to tackle Nigeria’s economic and security challenges.

Speaking at the gathering, the Bauchi ADC Chairman, Shu’aibu Dankama, said the decision followed consultations among party stakeholders who believe Atiku remains a strong figure capable of leading the country.

According to him, “the endorsement reflects confidence in Atiku’s leadership qualities and ability to restore hope to Nigerians amid rising inflation, unemployment, insecurity and hardship across the country”.

He urged party members to remain united, disciplined and committed as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum.
