In a highly anticipated move, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking a significant shift in Nigeria's political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections. Atiku confirmed his membership by sharing a photo of himself holding his ADC membership card on social media, captioned "It's official".
The development comes after months of speculation surrounding Atiku's political future, following his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in July. Atiku's decision to join the ADC is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the opposition's chances in the 2027 elections.
