Former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has formally joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
On Monday, Atiku collected his card at the Jada 1 Ward of Jada local government area of the party in Adamawa State.
The collection of the ADC card by Atiku followed his formal registration, by Sen. Sadiq Yar’Adua, the National Secretary of the ADC Registration and Mobilisation Committee, in Adamawa State.
“Now I have picked my membership card of the ADC. Now, the real opposition has begun. We will work in concert with other leaders of the opposition and Nigerians to chase the APC out of government,” Atiku said.
He called on his supporters and all those committed to reclaiming and rebuilding Nigeria to take a cue and register with the ADC.
Adamawa State ADC chairman, Hon Shehu Yohanna, who joined Sen Yar’Adua to perform the registration, said that Atiku’s registration signalled the unveiling of statewide registration of members into the party in all the local governments and wards of the state.
He called on citizens, especially youths and women to take advantage of the opportunity to join the party across the nation.
Sen. Sadiq Yar’Adua re-echoed the call, urging Nigerians to ensure they register to vote.
Key members of the Adamawa Coalition, including former Governor Bindow Jibrilla, Senator Aishatu Binani, Senator Ahmed Hassan Barata, Sen. Aziz Nyako, and Sen. Ishaku Abbo, were among those who attended the unveiling.
