Adamawa ADC Gives Atiku Ultimatum to Pick Membership Card | #NwokeukwuMascot

 News 


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State has issued an ultimatum to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, and other prominent figures in the party to officially register at their respective wards before the end of the year or risk losing recognition as members.




Speaking to newsmen in Yola, the Adamawa State Chairman of the ADC, Shehu Yohanna, said the party had unveiled its membership register, stressing that only those with valid membership cards would be acknowledged as bona fide members.




“Atiku Abubakar should go to his ward in Jada Local Government and register, Babachir should go to his ward in Hong Local Government and register. That is the only way they can be treated as legitimate members of the party,” Yohanna said.




“You cannot be taking decisions for a party you are not constitutionally a member of. All of you should register for the greatness of our party. It is illegal for someone to hold a leadership position in the party at the national level without being a registered member. That makes a caricature of the party,” he added.




Only last Thursday, the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, reaffirmed the caucus’ resolution that all coalition members must resign from their current parties and register fully with the ADC, a directive dismissed as irrelevant by both the APC and PDP.




Atiku’s much-publicised membership registration, initially scheduled for August in his hometown of Jada, was indefinitely suspended last month without explanation. Sources within the party said the former Vice President is still weighing his options ahead of the 2027 elections, particularly in view of the growing influence of Peter Obi’s political movement within the ADC.




Yohanna dismissed both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as incapable of defeating the ADC in 2027, insisting that his party has the political strength and credible leadership to wrest power from the APC.




“The unfriendly policies of the present government have paved the way for our party to take over and reposition the country for authentic democracy,” he said.




On the reported leadership crisis within the Adamawa chapter of the ADC, Yohanna maintained that he remained the legitimate chairman.




“My tenure expires in 2026 based on the constitution of the party, so nobody can remove me from office. The ADC is not the estate of anyone; it is a political party registered by former President Olusegun Obasanjo,” he said.




He further claimed that the credentials of ADC governorship aspirants are among the strongest in Adamawa and across the country, stressing that the party is poised to offer Nigerians a credible alternative.
