Today, @atiku and his running mate @ChibuikeAmaechi took the subsidy campaign to the filling station, where Nigerians feel the cost of living with every litre. The price on the pump tells the story. It’s time to make Nigeria affordable again.

ATIKU APPROVES LEAN, PEOPLE-DRIVEN ADC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the ADC, Atiku Abubakar has approved a campaign structure shaped by the realities Nigerians face every day. When families are struggling with food prices, transport costs and shrinking incomes, a campaign asking for their trust must show discipline in how it operates. Kashim Ibrahim-Imam will chair the Council, with Nasir El-Rufai as Deputy Chairman. Senator Austin Akobundu will serve as Director-General and Campaign Manager, responsible for turning strategy into coordinated action. Six Deputy Directors-General will lead the operational directorates, working with 30 Directors assigned specific responsibilities. Dele Momodu will head Media and Communications, while Dino Melaye will lead Contact and Mobilisation. Mohammed Hayatudeen will chair the Policy Team, working with Professor Mohammed Sagagi and other members, including Professor Kingsley Moghalu, to develop practical answers to the problems Nigerians have put before us. John Oyegun will chair the Campaign Advisory Board. This is a structure built for work. Every directorate has a duty. Every director has an assignment. Every appointee must account for results. Our measure of success will be how clearly we address the cost of living, unemployment, insecurity and declining purchasing power—and how effectively we organise to make Nigeria affordable again. Phrank Shaibu Director, Strategic Communication, ADC Presidential Campaign Council & Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria 1999-2007 & Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress. 24th September,2026
