Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has appointed former Minister of Transport Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman, Dan Amar Sokoto, as Deputy Director-General of the Administration Directorate of his Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general election.

The newly unveiled campaign structure is headed by Kashim Ibrahim-Imam as Council Chairman, with former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai as Deputy Chairman, while Senator Austin Akobundu serves as Director-General and Campaign Manager.
