Adamu Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has resigned as Adamawa State Commissioner for Works and Energy Development after declining to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adamu, who served under Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, stepped down following the governor’s recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
On February 27, 2026, Adamu was notably absent when twenty-two commissioners accompanied Governor Fintiri to formally announce their exit from the PDP and alignment with the APC.
In a resignation letter dated March 2, 2026, and addressed to the governor, Adamu said his decision came after “deep personal reflection and careful consideration.”
“I write to formally tender my resignation from the office of Honourable Commissioner for Works and Energy Development, Adamawa State, effective from today, 2nd March, 2026,” he stated.
He thanked the governor for the opportunity to serve, describing his time in office as a privilege.

Adamu also expressed appreciation to the people of Adamawa State for their support throughout his tenure.
“I remain profoundly grateful for the confidence and trust Your Excellency reposed in me throughout my tenure. Your support provided the enabling environment to carry out the responsibilities of the office with dedication and commitment. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the good people of Adamawa State for their understanding, prayers, and support during my time in service,” he added.
He concluded the letter with a prayer for the governor, saying, “May Allah continue to guide and strengthen you in the service of our dear state.”
