Atiku launches ADC campaign in Kebbi, pledges to restore fuel subsidy

Former Nigerian vice president Atiku Abubakar, the ADC’s 2027 presidential candidate, launched his campaign in Birnin Kebbi, pledging to tackle insecurity and restore the fuel subsidy if elected. He described the election as a referendum on President Bola Tinubu’s record amid economic hardship, hunger, unemployment and insecurity. Campaign director Austin Akobundu alleged intimidation, while the ADC national chairman urged residents to elect Atiku and Abubakar Malami, the party’s governorship candidate. The rally ended without reported incidents, and the party flag was formally presented to Malami.
