The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to tackle insurgency and other forms of insecurity if voted in the 2027 presidential election.

Mr Abubakar made the promise in Potiskum on Sunday during the party’s campaign rally. He also promised to provide an enabling environment for youths to develop careers in all areas of their interest.

“Whatever you want to do, my administration will support you. But we will not allow all acts of violence,” he said.

Mr Abubakar said he would revive the economy by providing affordable fuel, electricity and cutting taxes.

He, however, said all this could only be achieved if voters came out en masse to vote for him in the forthcoming election.

Mr Abubakar advised the electorate to vote wisely for candidates who would better their lot and reject corrupt and selfish politicians.

“Vote the ADC for your future and the future of your children. We are ready to serve you in every way we can,” Mr Abubakar said.

The ADC national secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, thanked the people of Yobe for their warm reception to the party’s candidates.

He urged the electorate to vote for change and ensure due process was followed in counting and collating votes cast.
