The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Borno State has expressed its determination to contest and win all elective positions in the state during the 2027 general elections. ADC Chairman Alhaji Kolo Bukar announced this shortly after the inauguration of the party's state executives in Maiduguri.
On Sunday, ADC Chairman in Borno, Alhaji Kolo Bukar—a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman in the state—made the announcement following the inauguration of the party's executives in Maiduguri.
Bukar stated: “We know the terrain, we know the topography of the state, we know the people, and we know how to confront them. The message we have for the people of Borno is that we are going to bring succour, good governance, and multiple changes in the State.”
He added: “The ruling party is a complete failure. They have failed this country; they have failed Borno State. They have brought insecurity, poverty, and a lot of challenges people are facing. So we are trying to get to that point and the moment ADC gets into power, we are going to ameliorate these challenges.”
Party chieftain Alhaji Kashim Matawalle emphasized that their priority is not merely taking power but delivering good governance. “We want to take over governance in Borno and Nigeria. We want to establish a government that will tackle security challenges and address the needs of the poor,” Matawalle said.
