Adamu Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has resigned as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in Adamawa State, effective March 2, 2026. This move follows Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri's defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on February 27, 2026.
In his resignation letter, Adamu cited "deep personal reflection and careful consideration" as the reason for his decision. He expressed gratitude to Governor Fintiri for the opportunity to serve and thanked the people of Adamawa State for their support. Adamu had served two successful terms in the role, overseeing key infrastructure and energy projects.
The resignation comes amid a significant political shift in Adamawa State, with Governor Fintiri's defection to the APC. Fintiri, who had previously been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), announced the move, stating it was in the best interest of the state's development. He was joined by 22 commissioners, special advisers, and other officials.
Atiku Abubakar, Adamu's father, had recently criticized Fintiri's defection, suggesting it was a move for personal survival rather than a genuine shift in political ideology. Adamu's resignation is seen as a significant development in Adamawa's evolving political landscape.
