“I’m calling on you all to join hands with us and let’s vote out the APC in Kebbi and at the national level to save our people from the suffering brought upon them by the APC-led administration,” Bande said.
Also addressing supporters, the immediate past Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, urged party members to remain steadfast in their support for the ADC.
“We prayed to Allah, and He answered our prayers. We asked God to add Gen. Bande, Chiroma Argungu, and Alhaji Ibrahim Mera to us, and He did so. Now, there is no retreat nor surrender. The ADC has come to stay in Kebbi State,” Malami said.
Earlier, at the party secretariat—the venue of the congress—the chairman of the congress committee from the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, Suleiman M. Membo, expressed satisfaction with the peaceful conduct of the exercise.
He said the congresses held across the 225 wards, 21 local government areas, and at the state level were conducted successfully without any rancour.
According to him, all necessary guidelines in line with the Electoral Act were followed in producing the party’s state executives in Kebbi State.
The secretary of the congress committee, Tukur Aliyu Tartsa, moved the motion for the adoption of consensus in electing the state executives, which was seconded by party chieftain Shehu Muhammed Koko.
Those elected by affirmation as state executives of the ADC in Kebbi State include Engineer Sufiyanu Bala as Chairman, Musa Argungu as Vice Chairman, Abubakar Kalgo as Secretary, Haruna Haruna Jega as Publicity Secretary, and Dan Yaro Gwandu as Financial Secretary.
