Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring that the party is poised to make significant political gains ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The registration ceremony took place on Thursday in Yola, Adamawa State, where Atiku received his membership card and a personalised Waziri 01 jersey. The brief event attracted a large gathering of party officials, supporters, and community stakeholders, reflecting growing grassroots engagement for the ADC.
In a post on X on Friday, Atiku reaffirmed the party’s nationwide mobilisation, highlighting recent activities including a stop in Jalingo, where the ADC inaugurated the Taraba State secretariat of the coalition. “There’s no stopping the ADC; it is heading your way,” he wrote, signalling the party’s readiness for the upcoming elections.
The former vice-president’s move to ADC comes amid increasing political realignments ahead of 2027, as major parties position themselves for the general elections.
