The Director of Strategic Communication of the African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Phrank Shaibu, has said that Atiku Abubakar will campaign in all 36 states of the federation ahead of the 2027 presidential election. His statement contrasts with President Bola Tinubu’s decision to limit his personal participation in the All Progressives Congress campaign rallies to 12 states, citing the need to balance electioneering with governance.
Speaking during an interview on ARISE News, Phrank dismissed concerns that Atiku’s campaign might focus mainly on northern Nigeria, stressing that no state would be excluded from the former vice-president’s engagements with voters.
He added that Atiku’s campaign would extend beyond rallies in state capitals to include town hall meetings, community engagements and visits to local government areas and villages.
His words, “We are going to release our schedule in a few days. Or in a few hours. And you will see for yourself.
You will be able to interrogate for yourself. That look, Atiku Abubakar, no state will be left out.
We are not going to limit our campaign to just state capital or to just rallies. Atiku is already connected with the people. The people are hungry.
People are dying. Do you understand? He needs to connect with them. He needs to listen to them.
As for the pathway, I’ll tell you. Our pathway is clear and simple. The man who is hungry in Zamfara is the same as the man who is hungry in Lagos. Forget the noise.
Hungry Nigerians will vote for Atiku Abubakar. Atiku’s pathway is not limited to Northern Nigeria. Atiku’s pathway is across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
I will not just be bold, I will be audacious about it. Atiku will win the entire country.”
