Sunday, April 5, 2026 -A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has pledged to back anybody that emerges as the party’s presidential candidate.
Atiku said he would back the party’s presidential candidate
even if the person is a youth.
Speaking in an interview with DW Hausa, Atiku also dismissed
claims that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, could
undermine the ADC, noting that the party has continued to attract members
nationwide.
He said: “We will support and endorse whoever emerges as the
flagbearer. How many are we (presidential aspirants), three or four? In the
PDP, more than ten of us contested.
“The youths have taken over the party. Most of those seeking
elective positions, from councillor to State Assembly, National Assembly and
House of Representatives, are young people. We have always said our party
belongs to youths and women. Our role is to create the opportunity and hand it
over to them.”
Asked if he would back a youth as presidential candidate if
ADC presents one, Atiku said, “Yes, why not,”
“Allah has done everything for me. I have brought my sons
and grandchildren home. What will be their future and that of their children?”
he said.
