Adamu Atiku, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has formally declared his intention to contest the Adamawa South Senatorial District seat in the 2027 general elections.
The former Adamawa State Commissioner for Works and Energy Development made the announcement under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement issued on Friday, Adamu Atiku said the decision followed months of wide consultations, sincere reflections, and strong encouragement from constituents, stakeholders, supporters, and well-meaning citizens across Adamawa South.
“After months of wide consultations, sincere reflections, and encouragement from constituents, stakeholders, supporters, and well-meaning citizens across Adamawa South, I have decided to answer the call to serve and formally join the race for the Adamawa South Senatorial seat,” he said.
He added that the overwhelming confidence reposed in him by the people has been humbling, describing his ambition as a people-driven movement aimed at promoting unity, progress, and quality representation.
Adamu disclosed that he has already obtained his nomination form, marking the formal beginning of his campaign.
The development comes weeks after he resigned from the cabinet of Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
It further strengthens the Atiku political family’s involvement in the ADC.
