US EditionNigeria: Atiku Officially Joins Adc Ahead of 2027 Elections
Atiku Abubakar cited internal crises and principle departures as reasons for leaving PDP to join ADC, aiming to unify opposition for a stronger 2027 election challenge.
- On Monday, Atiku Abubakar formally registered with the African Democratic Congress, announcing his membership on X with images of his party card and the caption `It's official`.
- Citing internal factional crises, Atiku said 'irreconcilable differences' in a resignation letter to the Jada 1 Ward chairman, Adamawa State, recent years.
- The ADC, positioned as a coalition vehicle, lists David Mark as national chairman and Rauf Aregbesola as national secretary, after Atiku led a July endorsement including Peter Obi and Babachir Lawal.
- Observers say the move is a strategic attempt to consolidate opposition forces around a single platform to challenge the All Progressives Congress in 2027, and Atiku is expected to boost the ADC's visibility given his nationwide network and vice‑presidency, 1999–2007 experience.
- Known for multiple party moves, Atiku's history includes the Action Congress, All Progressives Congress, and PDP, making his delayed registration with the ADC a critical juncture amid PDP conflicts in recent years.
