Atiku’s Son, Abba Abubakar, Registers As APC Member In Adamawa

‎Abba Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has formally registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State.

‎

‎Abubakar completed his registration on Monday at the Gwadabawa Ward in Yola North Local Government Area.

‎

‎Speaking after the exercise, he expressed appreciation to party leaders and supporters who welcomed him.

‎

‎“All you can see is that these people have come out to support me, and I am very thankful,” he said.

‎

‎Abubakar acknowledged APC leaders across different levels of the party structure in the state and said he was optimistic about his political journey within the party.

‎

‎“I want to thank the APC members, the leaders in the state exco, the women leaders, the youth leaders, and the chairman.

‎

‎“I want to thank the people of Adamawa, because I am proud of you. I am a son to you. By the grace of God, this journey that we are on, we are going to go very far,” he stated.

‎

‎His temporary APC membership slip shows his registration details, including Adamawa State, Yola North Local Government Area, and Gwadabawa Ward.

‎

‎Meanwhile, the former Vice President earlier described his son’s decision as a personal one, driven by individual conscience, stressing that such political choices are not uncommon in a democratic setting, even when they involve close family members.

‎

‎He also explained that differences in political alignment within families are a normal feature of plural politics.

‎

‎The development comes several months after Atiku Abubakar formally exited the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform on which he contested the presidency multiple times.

‎

‎Following his departure from the PDP, he joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he is currently working with an ADC-led coalition to consolidate support ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
