Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has held a strategic meeting with stakeholders of the Adamawa State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja, emphasizing unity and strong leadership as the party positions itself for future electoral contests.

The meeting, which took place at his residence in the Federal Capital Territory, was disclosed by the former presidential candidate through his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday. Atiku described the visit by the Adamawa ADC delegation as both significant and deeply appreciated, noting that it reflected growing cohesion within the party at the state level.

According to him, the interaction provided an opportunity to engage directly with the newly constituted leadership of the party in Adamawa State. He urged them to prioritize unity and inclusiveness in their operations, stressing that internal harmony would be critical to the party’s success.

“At a time like this, unity must be seen as a sacred responsibility,” Atiku stated. “The leadership must work deliberately to heal past divisions, accommodate diverse interests, and ensure that no member feels sidelined. Only through fairness and collective purpose can the party build the strength required to achieve its goals.”

The former vice president further expressed confidence in the ADC’s growing influence in Nigeria’s political landscape. He maintained that the party has evolved into a formidable opposition platform with the structure and ideological clarity needed to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Atiku argued that Nigerians are increasingly seeking credible alternatives to the current administration, adding that the ADC is well-positioned to provide such an option. He described the party as one grounded in strong democratic values, capable of mobilizing support across different regions of the country.

Political observers note that the meeting may signal renewed efforts by key opposition figures to consolidate support at the grassroots level ahead of upcoming electoral cycles. Adamawa State, being Atiku’s home state, remains a critical stronghold in his political calculations, making engagements with local stakeholders particularly significant.

The visit by the Adamawa ADC leaders is also seen as part of broader moves within the party to strengthen internal structures and unify members following recent leadership adjustments in various states.

As political activities gradually intensify nationwide, Atiku’s call for unity and strategic alignment within the ADC underscores ongoing efforts by opposition figures to build a cohesive front capable of mounting a serious challenge in future elections.
