Atiku Abubakar Officially Joins ADC, Says ‘Real Opposition Has Begun’
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar officially collected his African Democratic Congress (ADC) membership card on Monday, ending months of speculation and confirming his highly anticipated move to the party.
Atiku was registered at his Jada 1 Ward in Adamawa State by Senator Sadiq YarAdua, National Secretary of the ADC Registration and Mobilisation Committee.
Moments after receiving his card, the former PDP stalwart declared, “Now I have picked my membership card of the ADC. Now, the real opposition has begun. We will chase the APC (All Progressives Congress) out of government.”
He urged his supporters across the country to immediately register with the ADC and join what he described as a new political front.

Adamawa ADC Chairman Shehu Yohanna, who co-conducted the registration, said Atiku’s entry marks the official kickoff of statewide membership registration across all local governments and wards. He appealed to citizens, especially youths and women, to join the party.
Senator YarAdua echoed the call, urging Nigerians to register to vote and “take ownership of the nation’s political future.”
The unveiling drew key members of the Adamawa political coalition, including former Governor Bindow Jibrilla, Senator Aishatu Binani, Senator Ahmed Barata, Senator Aziz Nyako and Senator Ishaku Abbo, signalling a major realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
