Chieftains of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State have urged party members and supporters to remain vigilant and ensure the protection of every vote in the 2027 general election, saying effective vote protection will be critical to the party’s electoral success.
The call was made on Saturday during the inauguration of the Jigawa State chapter of the Waziri Mobilisation Network (WMN), a grassroots political mobilisation group supporting the presidential ambition of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, at the ADC State Campaign Secretariat in Dutse.
Speaking at the event, Alhaji Yakubu Nakudu challenged ADC supporters across the state to remain disciplined, loyal and committed throughout the electoral process.
He stressed that winning elections requires not only mobilising voters but also safeguarding the integrity of the ballot.
According to him, supporters must ensure that “every vote is cast, protected, defended, escorted, monitored and officially declared”.
Nakudu said the party’s supporters should remain organised at the grassroots and actively participate in voter mobilisation, civic engagement and election monitoring to ensure that votes count.
The inauguration also witnessed the swearing-in of the Waziri Mobilisation Network’s state and senatorial district leadership, with Muhammed Kamilu inaugurated as state coordinator and Haruna Sale Gumel as State Secretary.
Also inaugurated were Aliyu Yunusa Ringim as state youth leader, Mohammad Deni Hadejia as state publicity secretary and Mariya Usman Kazaure as State Women Leader.
The network’s coordinators for the three senatorial districts were also inaugurated to strengthen ward-level mobilisation across Jigawa State.
Addressing the gathering, the national secretary of the Waziri Mobilisation Network, Tahir Mu’azu Turaki, said the organisation was established to promote grassroots political participation, civic education, youth mobilisation and peaceful democratic engagement.
He explained that the network would focus on expanding voter registration awareness, community outreach and political organisation at the ward level ahead of the 2027 elections.
