Abuja: Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, a presidential aspirant on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform, has taken a significant step in bolstering his campaign efforts by inaugurating 36 coordinators. This move, aimed at expanding his campaign structure, comes ahead of the party’s primary elections.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the inauguration seeks to intensify stakeholder engagements nationwide, supporting the ADC membership registration drive. A statement from Hayatu-Deen’s media office in Abuja detailed that the event was held at his campaign office in the city, marking a strategic shift towards full-scale grassroots mobilisation as the 2027 general elections approach.
The newly appointed coordinators, representing Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, are expected to enhance state structures, broaden campaign reach, and foster citizen engagement across the nation. During the inauguration, Hayatu-Deen described this development as a critical milestone in building a credible national alternative for Nigerians. He stressed that the movement transcended a mere campaign, serving as a national platform rooted in competence, integrity, and measurable results.
Hayatu-Deen highlighted the importance of continued stakeholder engagements and commitment to ADC registration, emphasizing the campaign’s dedication to reaching every state, community, and citizen. He noted that the growing national traction reflected a rising public demand for leadership that comprehends citizens’ challenges and delivers practical solutions.
In his address, Hayatu-Deen urged the coordinators to remain disciplined, focused, and committed to promoting safety, opportunity, and accountable governance at the grassroots level. He underscored that the movement’s success would be evaluated based on its organisation, conduct, professionalism, and ability to redefine political engagement.
Mr. Usman Song, the National Coordinator, described the inauguration as a transition from vision to structured national mobilisation. Song emphasized that each coordinator symbolized the movement’s face in their respective states and must bridge its vision with citizens’ expectations. He reiterated that the campaign was founded on discipline, credibility, structure, and strategic organisation. Song urged the coordinators to prioritize listening, trust-building, and genuine engagement as essential tools for constructing a robust political movement.
