Adamu Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has resigned from his position as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in Adamawa State following his refusal to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adamu served in the cabinet of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, who recently announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
On February 27, 2026, he was clearly absent from the group of twenty-two commissioners who joined Governor Fintiri to declare their decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the APC.
In a resignation letter dated March 2, 2026, and addressed to Governor Fintiri, Adamu said his decision followed “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,” the letter read.

He praised the governor for giving him the chance to support the growth of the state and called working in the administration an honour.
“It has been a rare honour and privilege to serve under your visionary leadership and to contribute, in my modest capacity, to the infrastructural growth and development of our dear state,” he stated.
Additionally, Adamu expressed gratitude to Adamawa State residents for their support during 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.
Atiku’s son prayed for the governor at the end of the letter as he resigns, saying, “May Allah continue to guide and strengthen you in the service of our dear state.”
