The Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State, Hon. Manir Muhammad Dan’iya (Walin Sokoto), has reaffirmed his commitment to operating an open-door, inclusive, and people-oriented government if elected in the 2027 general elections.
A statement issued on Sunday in Sokoto by his spokesperson, Aminu Abdullahi Abubakar said that Hon. Dan’iya made the declaration while receiving leaders of the ADC from the three Senatorial Zones of Sokoto State during a Sallah courtesy visit at his residence.
Speaking during the visit, the ADC gubernatorial candidate stated that his administration would be founded on transparency, consultation, accountability, and responsiveness to the needs and aspirations of the people.
According to him, “Government exists to serve the people, not the other way round. Our administration will maintain an open-door policy with a listening ear, ensuring that governance reflects the genuine needs, priorities, and aspirations of the citizens rather than the desires of a privileged few.”
He emphasized that meaningful development can only be achieved when government remains connected to the people and actively engages stakeholders in decision-making processes.
“In a democratic setting, the people are the government. Without their trust, support, and participation, sustainable development cannot be achieved. Leadership must be compassionate, accessible, and responsive to the concerns of the citizens,” he added.
Hon. Dan’iya noted that Sokoto State deserves a government that prioritizes public welfare, security, education, healthcare, youth empowerment, and economic development, stressing that the ADC is prepared to provide credible and responsible leadership capable of addressing the challenges facing the state.
The ADC candidate further urged party leaders and members across the three Senatorial Zones to remain united, committed, and focused on strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He expressed confidence that Nigerians are increasingly seeking alternatives that will deliver effective governance, economic opportunities, and improved living conditions.
“The task before us is to build a stronger and more inclusive political movement that reflects the hopes and aspirations of our people. We must continue to engage communities, promote our vision, and demonstrate that better governance is possible,” he stated.
Hon. Dan’iya thanked the visiting delegation for the Sallah homage and their continued loyalty to the party, assuring them that the ADC remains committed to providing a platform for good governance, peace, development, and social justice.
