Two sons of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have declared their intentions to contest for National Assembly positions in Adamawa State ahead of the 2027 general elections, signaling a growing political footprint for the family within the African Democratic Congress.
Adamu Atiku, the eldest son and former Commissioner for Works and Energy Development under Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, is eyeing the Adamawa South senatorial seat.
Meanwhile, his younger brother, Mohammed Atiku Abubakar, a businessman, is positioning to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Jada/Mayo-Belwa/Ganye/Toungo federal constituency.
Confirming the development, ADC State Chairman, Shehu Yohanna, said the party has warmly received both aspirants and assured them of full support, in line with the party’s commitment to fairness and inclusiveness.
Yohanna disclosed that Adamu Atiku recently resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party and has since formally registered with the ADC in his ward in Jada Local Government Area, where he will pursue his senatorial ambition.
He added that Mohammed Atiku Abubakar had earlier joined the party and is equally set to contest in the 2027 elections.
The ADC leadership emphasized that both aspirants, like all Nigerians, have the constitutional right to seek elective office, assuring that the party will provide the necessary platform and support for their political aspirations.
