African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has opened his presidential campaign office in Azare, Bauchi State, as he steps up preparations for the 2027 general elections.
Atiku announced the development in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, expressing gratitude to residents for the warm reception during the opening.
He said his administration, if elected, would tackle insecurity, create opportunities for young people and make Nigeria more affordable.
The former Vice-President noted that Nigerians were struggling with rising food, fuel and transport costs, while insecurity continued to threaten their livelihoods.
Today, I opened our presidential campaign office in Azare, Bauchi State, and I am grateful to the people of Azare for the warmth with which they received us.
Our people are struggling with the high cost of food, fuel, and transport, and with the insecurity that threatens their livelihoods. I will work to end insecurity, create opportunity for our young people, and make Nigeria affordable again. I will also resume oil exploration at the Kolmani oil field, so that the wealth beneath our soil creates new revenue and jobs, and brings lasting prosperity to Bauchi, the North-East, and Nigeria as a whole. -AA
