In a major political shift leading up to the 2027 general elections, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This move is already being considered one of the most significant political realignments.
His declaration was made public on Monday through a post on X, where the former PDP presidential candidate also released photographs of himself receiving his ADC membership card and a customised “Waziri 01” jersey.
The brief but symbolic registration ceremony held in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, drew a sizeable crowd of supporters, party chieftains and community stakeholders who thronged the venue to witness the event.
In the images, Abubakar is seen holding up his membership form as jubilant supporters recorded the moment.
“It’s official. – AA,” he wrote, finally ending months of speculation surrounding his political future since his disengagement from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform on which he had been a towering figure for years.
His switch to the ADC comes days after insiders hinted that he would use his birthday visit to Adamawa to seal his new political alliance, a visit that also featured several community engagements.
