The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has unveiled the venue for the flag-off of its presidential campaign.
Senator Ibrahim Lamido, Presidential Campaign Coordinator in Sokoto State, disclosed that the campaign kick-off will hold at the ADC secretariat along Ilorin Road, Sokoto, on Wednesday.
According to Lamido, dignitaries and members of the party were already preparing for the day’s activity.
Following allegations of intimidation and suppression, the leading opposition party had initially refused to disclose the venue of its inaugural Presidential Campaign.
Daily Trust reports that the governorship candidate of the ADC in Sokoto State, Hon. Manir Muhammad Dan’iya, reportedly escaped unhurt after gunmen opened fire on his convoy near the Sultan Abubakar III International Airport, on Friday night.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had denied the allegation that it was responsible for the attack, but three days after the incident, a campaign office of the ADC was sealed.

In a statement, Lamido said Atiku would arrive at the Sultan Abubakar III International Airport, Sokoto, by 9 am.
