The Nafiu Bala Gombe-led faction of the African Democratic Congress has inaugurated its North-West Campaign Council as part of preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration followed a meeting of the party’s North-West Zonal Caucus with governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly candidates, as well as other stakeholders, in Sokoto State on Friday.
The meeting, held at Giginya Hotel, was convened to harmonise the party’s positions and develop a coordinated campaign strategy across the seven states in the North-West.
In a statement issued by the Director of Media and Publicity and spokesperson for the 2027 ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Christopher Okechukwu, Alhaji Nuradeen Lawal Chindo was named chairman of the North-West Campaign Council, while Dr Bello Shehu was appointed secretary.
Okechukwu said the meeting was aimed at developing a sustainable political roadmap ahead of the 2027 elections.
He said, “The high-level engagement is convened to deliberate, harmonise positions and chart a coherent, viable and sustainable political roadmap towards securing a decisive and resounding victory for the ADC in preparation for the 2027 general elections.”
He added that the newly inaugurated council would provide leadership, coordination and strategic direction for the party’s campaign activities across the zone.
The inauguration was presided over by the Deputy Director-General (North) of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Hon. Bala Sani Kumo.
The Director of Legal and Litigation of the presidential campaign council, Chief Cletus Okoye, SAN, administered the oath of office to members of the newly constituted council.
In his remarks, Kumo charged the campaign management team to establish an inclusive campaign structure that would accommodate different interest groups.
He specifically directed the council to ensure the active participation of the party’s youth and women wings, as well as persons with disabilities, in its political engagements across the North-West.
The party said it remained committed to an issue-based and people-driven campaign focused on good governance, peace and sustainable development.
