Sokoto 2027: Dan’iya promises open-door, inclusive govt

Manir Muhammad Dan’iya, the Governorship Candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State, has promised to lead an open-door, transparent, and people-centered administration should he be elected in the 2027 general elections. Dan’iya articulated his vision during a Sallah courtesy visit from ADC leaders across the state's three senatorial zones.

Dan’iya stressed that his administration would prioritize accountability, consultation, and responsiveness to the genuine needs of the citizens. "Government exists to serve the people, not the other way round," he stated. He emphasized that sustainable development hinges on a government remaining closely connected to its people and actively engaging stakeholders in decision-making processes. "In a democratic setting, the people are the government. Without their trust, support and participation, sustainable development cannot be achieved," Dan’iya added.

“

Government exists to serve the people, not the other way round. Our administration will maintain an open-door policy with a listening ear, ensuring that governance reflects the genuine needs, priorities and aspirations of the citizens rather than the desires of a privileged few.

The former deputy governor outlined key areas his government would focus on, including public welfare, security, education, healthcare, youth empowerment, and economic growth. He asserted that the ADC is prepared to offer credible leadership capable of addressing the state's challenges and improving residents' living conditions. Dan’iya also called for unity among party leaders and supporters, urging them to strengthen the ADC's structures and enhance its prospects for the 2027 elections. He expressed confidence that voters are increasingly seeking political alternatives that promise effective governance and economic opportunities.

In a democratic setting, the people are the government. Without their trust, support and participation, sustainable development cannot be achieved. Leadership must be compassionate, accessible and responsive to the concerns of the citizens.
