Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has been actively campaigning in Osun State ahead of the upcoming governorship election. Speaking to voters, Atiku emphasized his commitment to the ADC and called on supporters to rally behind the party’s candidate, Salaam, in the contest. His campaign efforts have drawn large crowds, with reports indicating that he and other party leaders have been seen in Osogbo, the state capital, engaging with voters (dailypost.ng).
Atiku’s campaign has also focused on positioning the ADC as a strong contender in the election, with supporters highlighting the party’s national appeal. In a separate development, the ADC’s former Vice President has also addressed concerns about alliances, denying speculation that he would support other candidates. Meanwhile, former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has stated that he remains committed to supporting southern candidates, including those from the ruling party, and has no plans to back Atiku or any northern contender in the 2027 presidential election (leadership.ng).
The ADC’s campaign in Osun has been marked by high visibility, with Atiku’s presence seen as a key factor in boosting the party’s chances. His efforts to mobilize support have been accompanied by a broader narrative that positions the ADC as a viable alternative in Nigerian politics. As the election approaches, the party’s strategy will be closely watched by political analysts and voters alike.
