Addressing the gathering, former Kaduna State Commissioner for Education and Information, Professor Sani Bello, said the ADC was established to provide Nigerians with a united and credible opposition capable of effectively challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Professor Bello criticised the APC-led government, accusing it of failing to adequately address poverty, insecurity and economic hardship.
He said residents of Kaduna State and Nigerians across the country were experiencing worsening living conditions, stressing the need for an alternative political platform.
He urged citizens to support the ADC, insisting that the party remained the only opposition force with the structure and resolve to confront the ruling party and chart a new course for national recovery.

The former commissioner also faulted the Federal Government’s food importation policies, arguing that excessive reliance on imports had weakened local agriculture and inflicted heavy financial losses, running into billions of naira, on Nigerian farmers.
Earlier, one of the interim local government executives, Professor Idris Ahmed Aliyu, charged the newly unveiled ward leaders to work tirelessly to build a strong and effective party structure capable of dislodging the APC in the 2027 elections.
He encouraged the executives to adopt strategic measures, including the formation of active committees, to enhance mobilisation and ensure electoral success for the ADC.
In his remarks, former Kaduna State Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Sama’ila Aliyu Makarfi, urged the interim executives to uphold commitment, integrity and accountability in the discharge of their duties.
Similarly, Engr. Namaddi Musa from Badarawa Ward in Kaduna North Local Government Area called on ADC members across Kaduna State to emulate the Dogarawa Ward leadership by strengthening party unity and grassroots mobilisation.
Former Kaduna State House of Assembly member representing Zaria City, Hon. Suleiman Ibrahim Dabo, described the current federal administration as lacking tangible achievements and urged Nigerians to become more politically conscious.
He further appealed to party members to embrace inclusiveness and unity as preparations intensify for the 2027 general elections.
The event concluded with a massive turnout of ADC members, both men and women, highlighting the party’s growing presence and mobilisation drive in Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
