Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially joined the coalition party, African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections
His move follows his July resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP.)
Atiku disclosed this in a short post on his official X handle on Monday, attaching pictures of him holding the party’s membership card with the brief caption, “It’s official.”
Prior to him joining the coalition, the former VP had been a high-profile member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He, however, resigned from the opposition party on July 16, citing irreconcilable differences that have emerged within the former ruling party.
Atiku explained that he found it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which, according to him, diverges from the foundational principles it stood for.
It is believed he will be running as a presidential candidate of ADC in 2027.
