Leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at federal, regional, and state levels are working assiduously towards strengthening the party and establishing virile roots in Bauchi State and other parts of the federation, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) after meeting a delegation of ADC leaders from Bauchi State yesterday, Atiku expressed confidence that the ADC’s strategies towards claiming Bauchi State was on a sure footing.

“This afternoon, I hosted a delegation of Bauchi State’s critical stakeholders in our party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by Alhaji Aminu Ahmed Yapeco, Sarkin Yakin Katagum.

“Our conversation focused on how to strengthen the party’s structures in the state.

“We have examined the gaps, and I am committed to working with the party’s leaders at all levels until we achieve a virile opposition that will best serve the interests of the people of Bauchi,” he stated.

Addressing reporters in Abuja after leading a delegation of ADC leaders from Bauchi to meet the former Vice President, Yapeco stated that they reviewed the state of ADC in Bauchi State and deliberated on strategies towards reinforcing the party’s prospects as well as its internal mechanisms.

He also said their discussions included a review of likely weaknesses within the party’s structure and practical proposals towards enhancing unity, effectiveness, and overall performance.

According to the Sarkin Yakin Katagum, yesterday’s meeting with Atiku was part of a wider strategy aimed at repositioning the ADC as a viable and credible alternative capable of mobilising the populace towards political dominance of the state, the Northeast and across Nigeria.

The visit was part of preparations to build further consensus towards consolidating ADC’s growing strength in preparations for the 2027 general elections. (The Nation)
