According to him, the ambition represents more than a personal political quest, stressing that it is a collective movement aimed at promoting unity, development, and effective representation for the people of Adamawa South.
His declaration comes weeks after his resignation from the cabinet of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, following the governor’s defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The development also signals the deepening political involvement of the Atiku family within the ADC, following the recent alignment of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar with the party ahead of the 2027 political season.
