The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has promised to end insecurity and restore hope among young Nigerians by making the country more affordable if elected president in 2027.

Mr Abubakar stated this on Wednesday in a post on X shortly after arriving in Sokoto State for the party’s presidential campaign inauguration.

“Sokoto, I am here! I am deeply grateful for the rousing welcome as I formally launch my campaign for the presidency from this historic seat of faith, scholarship, and leadership.

“Nigerians are tired of hunger, fear, and broken promises. Today, they have a choice, a plan, and a leader ready to deliver. I will end the insecurity that haunts our communities, restore hope to our young people, and make Nigeria affordable again,” he said.

He added that the journey to rescue Nigeria had begun in the state.

This comes shortly after the state government announced the closure of the party’s office ahead of the inauguration.
