Musa Na Allah, Sokoto
The Sokoto State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has inaugurated Local Government Coordinators across the state to commence electronic and manual registration of party members as part of efforts to expand its grassroots structure.
The inauguration ceremony, held on Sunday at the Ibro International Hotel, attracted party leaders, political stakeholders, youth groups, and supporters from across the state.
The initiative is aimed at strengthening the party’s organisational base and increasing membership across the 23 local government areas of Sokoto State.
During the event, party officials explained that the newly inaugurated coordinators would be responsible for supervising and coordinating the registration and validation of party members in their respective local government areas.
Hon. Abdullahi Mai Gwandu was appointed as the State Registration Validation Coordinator and will oversee the overall membership registration process across the state.
According to party leaders, the coordinators were selected based on their political experience, loyalty, and proven capacity to mobilise support at the grassroots level.
They emphasised that the exercise forms part of the party’s broader strategy to reposition the ADC as a strong political platform in Sokoto State through effective grassroots mobilisation and organisational strengthening.
The ceremony also attracted several prominent political stakeholders, including former government officials, party chieftains, women groups, and youth leaders who pledged support for the party’s growing structure.
Observers note that the development comes shortly after the defection of former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and his ally Saidu Umar, the 2023 PDP gubernatorial candidate of the state, to the ADC.
Political analysts believe the inauguration of the coordinators and the launch of the membership registration exercise signal an early effort by the party to consolidate its grassroots presence as political activities gradually build toward the 2027 general elections.
The event concluded with a call on party members and supporters to remain united and committed to strengthening the party’s structures across Sokoto State.
