The African Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Bilyaminu Aliyu Shinkafi, says a “wind of change” is blowing across northern Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Shinkafi stated this in an interview with journalists in Abuja ahead of the planned inauguration of the ADC presidential and governorship offices and a stakeholders’ meeting scheduled for next month.
The governorship candidate said the party would embark on extensive grassroots mobilisation to win the support of voters across Zamfara State.
“As a journalist, you understand these things more, and I am sure you are aware that the wind of change is blowing, especially in the northern part of this country,” Shinkafi said.
He, however, declined to give statistics or make specific predictions about the outcome of the 2027 governorship election.
“I will not sit here and give you statistics of what is going to happen in the election, but I am assuring you that we are going to go out and mobilise seekers for support,” he said.
Shinkafi said the ADC would focus on explaining its programmes to the people and persuading voters to support its candidates.
“We will tell our people what the ADC will do for them and explain what we want to do for them.
“I am sure we are going to convince them to come out en masse and vote for the ADC from top to bottom, irrespective of whatever critical stakeholder is there,” he said.
“That, I am assuring you.”
