The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council has announced plans to make additional appointments as it continues to expand its national campaign structure ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The council disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday by its Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, following the release of the first list of campaign officials.

Shaibu said the initial appointments marked an important step in organising the campaign but stressed that the list was not the final composition of the council.

He said consultations were ongoing, with more responsibilities expected to be assigned as the campaign structure expands across the country.“The campaign is still evolving. Consultations are continuing, and further responsibilities will be assigned as the structure expands across the country,” the statement said.

Shaibu also said presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar remained mindful of the sacrifices made by supporters who had backed him over the years.He appealed to members and supporters whose names were not included in the initial list to remain patient, assuring them that their contributions had not been overlooked.

“To those who may feel disappointed that their names have not appeared yet, we ask for patience and understanding. No one should believe that years of commitment and sacrifice have been forgotten,” he said.

According to the campaign council, its strength would continue to rely on party members, experienced political leaders, professionals, young people and other Nigerians willing to contribute to the campaign.

The council further announced plans to unveil additional structures at the zonal, state, ward and polling-unit levels as preparations for the 2027 election gather momentum.It also said more senior appointments and other layers of the campaign organisation would be announced in the coming period.
