Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, officially joined the African Democratic Congress, the coalition-backed party.
Atiku is expected to align with ADC ahead of the 2027 elections.
He made the announcement through his X handle, posting a photo of himself holding his ADC membership card with the brief caption, “It’s official.”
Atiku’s move follows his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party in July, which had been mired in a prolonged internal crisis.
The move has formalised his association with the ADC coalition party, which he had previously endorsed in July as a platform for opposition figures, including Peter Obi and Babachir Lawal, to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Before now, Atiku and other opposition leaders had delayed their formal registration with the ADC.
Recall that the opposition unveiled ADC as a platform ahead of the 2027 general elections with former Senate President David Mark as the National Chairman and ex-Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola as the party’s National Secretary as well as former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi as the National Publicity Secretary.
