Former Vice President and 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, shelved his planned stakeholders’ engagement in Kaduna earlier scheduled for Thursday.
The postponement followed his inability to secure a venue for the meeting amid allegations that the sealing of Arewa House and the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Secretariat was a deliberate attempt to frustrate his engagement with supporters in the state.
Both the Kaduna State Government and ACF authorities have since denied the allegations.
“But Arewa House, they have not been able to explain why it was sealed.”

“Atiku considers Kaduna a very important state, especially as the political headquarters of northern Nigeria, in addition to its large voting population.”
“So, he has postponed the meeting until further notice. As it is, we do not have a new date yet.”
“But he is surely coming back to engage people who are already supporting him and win more,” the source said.
Meanwhile, about eight armed security operatives were sighted at the ACF Secretariat on Thursday, a day after the facility was sealed by security men.
