Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has inaugurated a campaign council comprising more than 600 members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State.
Speaking at the inauguration, Malami charged members of the council to work together to strengthen the party’s grassroots structures and mobilise support ahead of the forthcoming elections.
He said the council was established to coordinate the ADC’s campaign activities across the state and support all candidates contesting under the party’s platform.
“This Campaign Council represents our collective ADC campaign. It is not about one candidate or one elective position. From the governorship to the Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly, we must work as one political family,” Malami said.
The former minister urged party leaders and supporters to avoid tribalism, sectionalism and internal rivalry, warning that such divisions could undermine the party’s electoral prospects.
He also called for dialogue and reconciliation to resolve disagreements among party members, stressing the importance of unity ahead of the elections.
Malami tasked members of the campaign council with taking the ADC’s message to local governments, wards and communities across Kebbi State while mobilising voters and supporters.
He further urged the council to ensure that the party’s campaign remained peaceful, lawful and issue-based, with members avoiding hate speech, ethnic provocation and personal attacks against political opponents.
According to Malami, membership of the campaign council should be viewed as a responsibility to serve the party rather than a reward, urging appointees to work collectively towards securing electoral success for the ADC.
