2027: Atiku promises to resume Kolmani oil project
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has pledged to continue oil exploration in Kolmani if elected president in the 2027 general elections.
Abubakar made the pledge at the ADC presidential campaign rally held in Bauchi on Saturday.
He also promised to restore petroleum and electricity subsidies, strengthen security in the North-East and resume work on the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project.
The former vice-president expressed confidence in the people of Bauchi State, urging them to remain resilient, defend their votes and seek justice through the electoral process.
He appealed to voters to support ADC candidates at all levels in the forthcoming elections.
The ADC vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, said an ADC-led government would tackle corruption and create wealth for Nigerians.
The party’s National Chairman, Sen. David Mark, represented by its National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, expressed satisfaction with the large turnout at the rally.
He said the crowd demonstrated the party’s growing acceptance in Bauchi, adding that the state was ready to support the ADC.
Mark urged supporters not to be provoked by political opponents but to intensify grassroots mobilisation and vote massively for the party.
The Director-General of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Sen. Augustine Akobundu, thanked Gov. Bala Mohammed for granting the party access to government facilities for the rally.
He urged other state governors to follow suit by providing a conducive environment for political activities, irrespective of party affiliations.
An ADC chieftain, Naja’atu Mohammed, also urged Nigerians to vote for the party and its candidates in the forthcoming elections.
Similarly, the ADC governorship candidate in Bauchi State, Sen. Halliru Jika, described the party as well-positioned to win the 2027 elections.
Jika said the ADC had established polling unit executives across the country, giving it an advantage in grassroots mobilisation.
He urged voters to conduct themselves peacefully and protect their votes.
The rally attracted party leaders, supporters and other stakeholders.
