Adamu Atiku Abubakar, Adamawa State Commissioner for Works and son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has decided not to join the APC defections in the state. He was absent from the 22 commissioners who announced their defection with Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.

His decision to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has attracted attention, as most top officials in Adamawa have moved to the APC. No official statement has been issued by Adamu explaining his choice.

Observers note that Adamu’s move signals a different political path from the governor and his colleagues, keeping him aligned with the PDP for now. His stance may influence party dynamics in upcoming state and national elections.

The situation highlights ongoing political realignments in Adamawa, as party loyalties shift ahead of the 2027 general elections. Analysts are watching closely how this affects the balance of power in the state.
