The day you leave the Atiku camp and defect to the APC, you may realize that many of the people following you are actually loyal supporters of Atiku Abubakar—not necessarily supporters of any individual.
Never take the AA 2027 movement for granted.
Case study: Zulkifilu Dalhatu Garkuwan Matasa.
ADC National Youth Leader Replied Cmrd. Zulkifilu Dalhatu
The statement reads:
My brother Zulkifilu Dalhatu, I watched your video twice. The first time, I heard your anger. The second time, I heard the hurt beneath it. You spoke of meetings that ran into the night, of hunger and thirst, of court battles and of young people you kept asking to be patient. Then you asked, “Where is the justice?” You deserve an answer to that question. We have worked together, and I remember when you bought your party ticket and came to my office. I will not pretend your disappointment is small, and I will not abandon you halfway through a journey we have shared.
You said something else that stayed with me: “I am still young.” You are. One appointment cannot measure everything you have given, nor should it decide everything you can still become. I have heard your account of what you were promised ealier. I will reach out to you personally and help bring that conversation to life. You have every right to seek a meaningful role and, one day, to seek leadership of the youth wing through the party’s processes. My recent appointment to lead youth mobilisation carries a duty to make room for young people with the courage to work and to question us. That includes you.
You entrusted your affairs to Allah. The Qur’an reminds us: “Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you … Allah knows and you do not know” (Al-Baqarah 2:216). I cannot claim to know what Allah has written for either of us. I only know that families sometimes misunderstand one another, then sit down and put things right. You have announced your departure publicly, but We have not received a formal resignation. I would like us to speak before that decision becomes final. In my new role leading youth mobilisation, I want to hear what went wrong and help secure a meaningful place for you to contribute. I will reach out personally, and we can take your concerns to those responsible for the appointment. If you still aspire to lead the youth wing, pursue that ambition. We may disagree along the way, as families do, but you belong in the ADC family you helped build. I believe your place is here with us, rather than in the APC or elsewhere.
You once asked what would distinguish the ADC from the APC if we failed to practise justice ourselves. That is a challenge we should take seriously, not an argument to silence. You have also posted recently, “TINUBU MUST GO!” If that remains your conviction, come back and help us finish the work we started: organise young Nigerians, earn their trust and make our case at the ballot box. Come home, Zulkifilu. We still have work to do together.

BREAKING: Abba Hikima, Esq., Convener of Tinubu Must Go (TMG), has withdrawn his support for Peter Obi and Senator Kwankwaso ahead of the 2027 election and declared his support for the Atiku/Amaechi ticket.
@Abbahikima explained:
“Following the final result of the #TMGPoll, I have decided to withdraw my support for Peter Obi and Senator Kwankwaso in this election.
Not because I dislike them, but because I love Nigeria, my people, and any form of unity that can lead to the removal of the Tinubu government.
May Allah grant Alhaji @atiku Abubakar victory over Tinubu by a wide margin.
And if he wins, may Allah make him a means of bringing relief, peace, and security to our people.
Ameen.”
In 2023, I campaigned for Peter Obi in Benue, where APC led LP by just 2,096 votes.
In 2027, my support is with Atiku Abubakar and ADC. I’m committed to the party and have set a personal target of mobilising 600,000+ votes for Atiku in Benue.
Benue has no reason to vote Tinubu
Dear Atiku Abubakar and your campaign council, since Prof. Moghalu doesn’t want his name to be included, please add my name instead. I will do a better job on President Atiku Abubakar’s policy team for the 2027 presidential campaign. I will utilize @grok and ChatGPT effectively. Knowledge is open-source now; nobody should come and do shakara for us.
You really overrate yourself. Being a former friend of Nafiu Bala does not automatically make you part of the ADC campaign team.
What exactly has been your contribution to the party?
Are you in ADC simply to build your personal profile and pursue your own interests?
If you are part of the party, what have you contributed to its growth and success beyond personal recognition?
I congratulate our great party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), under the able leadership of Distinguished Senator David Mark, GCON, on the thoughtful and inclusive composition of the Presidential Campaign Council.
I particularly congratulate H.E. Chief John Odigie Oyegun, Chairman of the Campaign Advisory Board; Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, Chairman of the National Campaign Council; Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Deputy Chairman; and Senator Austin Akobundu, Director-General and Campaign Manager, as well as all those entrusted with various responsibilities in the campaign structure.
The composition brings together individuals with diverse experiences in public service, politics, policy, administration and grassroots mobilisation from different parts of our country.
Those who have been called upon to serve must recognise that the responsibility before us goes beyond individual appointments or personal recognition. It is a call to service at an important moment in our nation’s democratic journey.
As I have consistently maintained, fairness, inclusion and national balance must remain central to our politics. Our actions as a party must demonstrate the values and principles we seek to bring to the governance of our country.
The task ahead is enormous. The ADC is determined to present Nigerians with a credible alternative and a clear pathway towards addressing the challenges confronting our nation.
We must now close ranks, strengthen our structures, engage Nigerians across every region and community, and take our message to the people.
I remain fully committed to our party and our collective effort to rescue Nigeria and build a country that works for all its citizens. I am confident that the Atiku/Amaechi ticket will rescue Nigeria and provide the leadership required to address the challenges confronting our nation.
I wish the Campaign Council wisdom, unity and success in the discharge of this important national assignment. – AWT
Today, I joined the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alh. Atiku Abubakar, GCON, and other party leaders to receive decampees led by Balogun Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, alongside other political figures from the APC and PDP, into our great party.
The grand reception took place at NEPA Park, Akure, Ondo State.
ADC!
ARISE AND SHINE!
Our People First agenda is gathering momentum across Nigeria.
At the heart of that agenda is my firm commitment to make life affordable again for Nigerian families. That includes restoring fuel subsidy—not the old import-dependent system, but a targeted production subsidy that supports fuel refined here in Nigeria, strengthens domestic production and is designed to reduce the price Nigerians pay at the pump.
When fuel becomes more affordable, transportation costs can ease. The cost of moving food from farms to markets can come down. Small businesses can breathe again. Families can keep more of their hard-earned money.
That is the purpose of our People First policy: put the welfare of Nigerians at the centre of government.
The tremendous reception we received in Ondo State today, as we welcomed new members into our great party, the ADC, was deeply encouraging. The enthusiasm was unmistakable.
Our message remains clear: produce here, refine here, create Nigerian jobs, lower the cost of fuel and make life affordable again.
Thank you, Ondo State, for the warm and memorable reception.-AA
