Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Monday formally picked up his membership card of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking his full entry into the coalition party he recently announced alignment with.
Atiku received his ADC card at the Jada 1 Ward in Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State, where he was officially registered by the National Secretary of the ADC Registration and Mobilisation Committee, Senator Sadiq Yar’Adua.
Addressing supporters shortly after the registration, the former Vice President said his decision signalled the start of a renewed opposition drive ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Now I have picked my membership card of the ADC. Now, the real opposition has begun. We will work in concert with other leaders of the opposition and Nigerians to chase the APC out of government,” Atiku said.
He urged his supporters nationwide to embrace the new political platform, calling on “all those committed to reclaiming and rebuilding Nigeria” to register with the ADC.
Adamawa State Chairman of the party, Hon. Shehu Yohanna, who joined Senator Yar’Adua in conducting the registration, described Atiku’s formal entry as the trigger for a statewide mobilisation exercise across the 21 local government areas of the state.
He encouraged citizens
particularly youths and women to seize the opportunity to join the ADC as it expands its membership drive.
Senator Yar’Adua echoed the appeal, urging Nigerians to register to vote and get involved in the democratic process.
The event drew some of Adamawa’s most prominent political figures, including former Governor Bindow Jibrilla, Senator Aishatu Binani, Senator Ahmed Hassan Barata, Senator Aziz Nyako and Senator Ishaku Abbo, who all attended the unveiling to demonstrate their alignment with the evolving coalition.
