The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has vowed to proceed with its scheduled campaign in Sokoto State despite what it described as attempts by the state government to intimidate the opposition and obstruct its political activities.
The party also warned that Governor Ahmed Aliyu would be held responsible if any violence was directed at opposition members or supporters in the state.
The ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, stated this in a statement issued on Tuesday, accusing the Sokoto State Government of undermining democratic rights and deliberately frustrating the party’s activities ahead of the 2027 general elections. Abdullahi said the party would not be deterred by the alleged intimidation, insisting that no governor had the authority to prevent any political party from campaigning or presenting its candidates to voters. “The Sokoto State Government must understand that governing a state does not confer ownership. Public office is a temporary mandate from the people, not a licence to suppress political competition,” the statement read.
