Thousands of supporters lined the streets of Potiskum on Sunday as the campaign motorcade of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, moved through the town, drawing a huge crowd of men, women and youths.
Pictures and video obtained by DAILY POST showed supporters trekking alongside a branded campaign truck carrying party leaders and loyalists, with many waving flags, banners and posters.
Security personnel were also seen escorting the procession as the crowd stretched along the road, with vehicles, motorcycles and tricycles joining the rally.
The campaign truck was branded with the inscription “Dokaji 2027” and “A Wajen Allah Muke Nema,” while supporters chanted and cheered as the motorcade moved through the town.
The turnout is being described by many supporters across social media platforms as an indication of growing support for the ADC ahead of the 2027 general election.
Reports indicated that the ADC was denied a venue in Damaturu, the state capital, forcing the party to move its rally to the ancient town of Potiskum.
The claim could not be independently verified by DAILY POST as of the time of filing this report.
Atiku's campaign rally in Yobe came despite the Abuja Federal High Court judgment which nullified his emergence as the presidential candidate of the ADC. The judgment also sacked the David Mark-led executives of the party.
