In a statement, ADC spokesperson stated that the party will not tolerate any form of violence against its members and will hold Governor Aliyu accountable for any incidents occurring within his administration's jurisdiction.
The violence against opposition members in Sokoto has been a subject of concern, with reports of intimidation and attacks on campaign rallies. The ADC claims that these actions are hindering a fair and peaceful political environment in the state.
The upcoming Sokoto campaign launch of Atiku Abubakar, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, is expected to attract a significant number of supporters from various political parties.
The ADC has called on the Sokoto State Government to ensure the safety and protection of all political participants and ensure a conducive environment for peaceful campaign activities.
