Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following the party’s presidential primary election.
Atiku secured victory after delegates voted during the primary process, positioning him as the party’s flag bearer for the upcoming national elections.
Party officials announced the result after the conclusion of voting and collation, describing the exercise as transparent and credible.
In his acceptance speech, Atiku thanked party delegates and supporters for their confidence in his leadership, pledging to focus on economic recovery, national unity, security, and governance reforms if elected.
He also called on party members to remain united ahead of the general election campaign, stressing the need for collaboration to strengthen the party’s chances at the polls.
Political observers say Atiku’s emergence could reshape the political landscape, given his long-standing presence in Nigerian politics and previous presidential contests.
The former vice president has consistently positioned himself as an advocate for economic liberalisation, restructuring, and private sector-driven growth.
With the primary concluded, attention is expected to shift toward campaign strategies, possible alliances, and reactions from rival political parties as the election season gathers momentum.
