Friday, March, 13 2026 - Adamu Atiku, the eldest son of former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Adamu announced his decision in a Facebook post on Thursday,
March 11, stating that his journey with the party had come to an end. He
thanked the PDP for the opportunities and experiences he gained during his
years of membership but did not disclose which political party he intends to
join next.
The development comes weeks after political realignments in
Adamawa State, where several commissioners left the PDP to join the All
Progressives Congress alongside the state governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.
Adamu had initially remained in the PDP when the wave of
defections occurred last month, drawing public attention at the time. He had
served as Commissioner for Works under Fintiri since the governor assumed
office in 2019.
In a resignation letter addressed to the PDP chairman of
Jada Ward 1, Adamu formally ended his membership of the party with immediate
effect. The letter, dated March 4, 2026, did not provide any reason for his
departure. “I hereby formally resign my membership of the PDP at Jada 1 Ward
with immediate effect,” he wrote, adding that the party should accept the
letter as notice of his resignation.
Adamu expressed appreciation to the PDP for the opportunity
to serve under its platform over the years as the political landscape in
Adamawa continues to shift following the earlier defections of several state
officials.
