Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He formally registered as a member at Jada Ward 1 in Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Atiku had in July, resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has been mired in a prolonged internal crisis.
Atiku’s formal entrance follows the prior announcement by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola on Nov. 19 officially commencing registration and membership validation.
“As a demonstration of my commitment, I completed my own symbolic registration at Ward 8, Unit 1, Ifofin, in Ilesa East Local Government Area of Osun State,” Aregbesola had said via his social media handles, urging existing members to validate their membership and new entrants to register.
In an announcement on Monday through his official X handle, Atiku posted a photo of himself holding his ADC membership card with the brief caption, “It’s official.”
Atiku in July had led the adoption of the ADC as the coalition platform for opposition figures to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
