The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially presented its Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to Dr. Mohammed Kpautagi, a prominent party stalwart and governorship hopeful in Niger State. This event unfolded at the party’s national office in Abuja, where Kpautagi expressed his firm commitment to tackling the region’s challenges and restoring effective governance.
A massive crowd of supporters, party members, youth groups, women, and political allies gathered at the ADC secretariat to demonstrate their backing for the aspirant. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm as they cheered his arrival and the formal acquisition of the forms.
In a brief address to the press after the form collection, Kpautagi thanked his followers for their unwavering faith in his leadership. He promised that his administration, if elected, would prioritize policies that directly improve the daily lives of ordinary citizens. He pointed out that insecurity and water scarcity are among the most pressing issues affecting the state, and he intends to implement immediate, pragmatic solutions.
“It is heartbreaking to witness our brothers and sisters being abducted and murdered, while women and children spend their mornings searching for water. These problems call for strong leadership and swift action,” Kpautagi stated. He was accompanied by his spouses and key political figures during the exercise.
Kpautagi also pledged to revive the former glory of Niger State through transparent administration and efficient resource management. Notably, he previously contested the 2023 governorship primary election under the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside Governor Mohammed Umar Bago. Dignitaries at the event included former legislators, ex-Deputy Speakers, party chairmen, and other aspirants running for various positions under the ADC banner.
