Atiku Abubaka (1).webp
The Digest:

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has formally registered with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at Jada Ward 1 in Adamawa State, marking a significant step in opposition realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Key Points:
  • Atiku registered and received his membership card at Jada Ward 1 in Adamawa.
  • The ADC was adopted as the coalition platform by opposition leaders in July.
  • Atiku confirmed his entry during a meeting with ADC state executives in Yola.
  • The party recently launched new membership cards signed by Senator David Mark.
  • A leadership tussle in the Adamawa ADC chapter remains unresolved.
  • Atiku’s move tests the party’s unity and capacity to manage internal conflicts.
  • Analysts see his entry as strengthening the ADC’s national presence and appeal.
This registration reinforces the ADC as a potential rallying point for opposition voices, yet its stability will depend on resolving internal disputes and aligning competing ambitions.
