Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has cast his vote in the presidential primary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the exercise as a significant step in the party's efforts to reposition Nigeria. Atiku voted at the Ajiya Ward Polling Unit in Jimeta, Yola, Adamawa State, alongside other prospective voters participating in the party's presidential primary election.
Atiku's Statement on Democratic Values
In a video tweet on his X handle, the former presidential candidate said the process reflected democratic values and the party's commitment to national development. He stated: "I joined other prospective voters of the African Democratic Congress in our party's presidential primaries in casting my vote at the Ajiya Ward Polling Unit in Jimeta Yola, Adamawa State. This is democracy at work."
Simultaneous Election Across Nigeria
Atiku noted that the primary election was being conducted simultaneously across 8,809 wards nationwide, describing it as an important milestone in the party's political agenda. He added: "The election taking place simultaneously in 8,809 Wards in Nigeria is a major step in our quest to recover our beloved country and set it on the path of prosperity."
