  • The ADC has issued an ultimatum to Atiku Abubakar and Babachir Lawal to register at their wards.
  • They must obtain valid membership cards by year's end or risk losing recognition as members.
  • The Adamawa State Chairman stated it is "illegal" to hold leadership without being a registered member.
  • Atiku's previously scheduled registration in his Jada hometown was suspended indefinitely last month.
  • The party dismissed the APC and PDP as incapable of defeating the ADC in the 2027 elections.
  • Reports suggest Atiku is weighing his chances of clinching the ADC's presidential ticket.
