Adamawa’s political landscape shifted sharply today as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar officially registered as a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), ending weeks of speculation about his next political home.
Party officials confirmed that Atiku completed his registration at the ADC secretariat in Yola, where he was welcomed by jubilant supporters and state executives who described his entry as “a major boost” for the party ahead of future elections.
Witnesses say the atmosphere was electric as crowds gathered to witness the long-time political heavyweight’s unexpected move. Atiku, known for his influence across Nigeria’s political spectrum, said his decision reflected his desire to align with “a platform focused on people-driven governance, unity, and development.”
Political analysts are already weighing in, calling the development a “seismic moment” that could reshape alliances not only in Adamawa but nationally.
As parties begin recalibrating their strategies, one thing is certain: Atiku Abubakar’s switch to the ADC has thrown open a new chapter in Nigeria’s evolving political story—and the ripples are just beginning.
