ADC Growth in Kano Linked to Grassroots Mobilisation by Mainasara Salga | Nigeria News Today
By Suleiman Ahmad
The rising profile of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, particularly in Dala Local Government Area, has been largely attributed to sustained grassroots mobilisation led by Ambassador Abdulrahman Mansur Mainasara Salga.
The Bureau News reports that political observers and residents have consistently linked the party’s growing acceptance in Dala to Salga’s long-standing engagement with the community, even before the ADC began attracting national attention as an opposition platform.
Grassroots Foundation Drives ADC Expansion
Dala, widely regarded as a political stronghold in Kano State, has witnessed increasing support for the ADC, a development analysts say did not happen overnight.
According to stakeholders, Salga had already built a strong political structure in the area through years of grassroots engagement and community-focused initiatives.
His philanthropic interventions, largely funded through personal resources, have targeted youth empowerment and support for vulnerable residents, helping to strengthen his credibility among constituents.
From Community Service to Political Influence
Supporters say Salga’s entry into active politics was driven by encouragement from community members who believed his grassroots impact could be expanded through public office.
During the 2023 general elections, he contested for a seat in the House of Representatives, where he gained recognition for advocating transparency and fairness, particularly during the party’s internal processes.
Observers note that his emphasis on accountability and inclusiveness has continued to shape perceptions of his leadership style within the ADC.
2027 Race: Calls for Credibility in Candidate Selection
As political activities gradually build towards the 2027 elections, Nigeria News Today indicates that the ADC is witnessing an influx of new entrants seeking political positions.
Analysts have, however, stressed the need for the party to prioritise candidates with proven track records of commitment and service.
Influential political figures, including Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, have been urged to ensure that the party’s candidate selection process reflects its core developmental ideals.
Community Support Grows for Salga
Within Dala, community sentiment appears to favour Salga as a strong contender for the ADC ticket in the 2027 House of Representatives race.
Supporters argue that his years of dedication to grassroots mobilisation and community development distinguish him from newer entrants into the party.
The Bureau News notes that the evolving political dynamics in Dala reflect a broader national conversation on whether long-term grassroots contributions will outweigh late political alignments in shaping electoral outcomes.
