During a campaign rally held in Bauchi State, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), pledged to resume oil exploration at the Kolmani oil field, which he stated had been halted under the current government. He emphasized the need for additional revenue sources, promising to continue oil exploration activities.
In addition to his commitment to oil exploration, Abubakar announced plans to restore electricity subsidies and revive the long-abandoned Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project in the North-East region of Nigeria. His statements at the rally included a focus on improving security in the North-East and throughout the country.
The Director-General of the ADC Presidential Campaign, Austin Akobundu, also spoke at the event, criticizing the current administration’s governance and policy decisions, asserting that, “There is hunger in the land, and the man who will eradicate it is Atiku.” Abubakar previously garnered significant support in Bauchi State during the last general elections when he ran under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
