Adamu Atiku Abubakar, the first son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has resigned from his position as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in Adamawa State.
In a resignation letter dated March 2, 2026, and addressed to Governor Ahmadu Umaru 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 stated.
He described his tenure as a privilege and expressed appreciation to the governor for the opportunity to serve.
“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 said.
Adamu also thanked the people of Adamawa State for their support throughout his time in office.
“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 with prayers for the governor, saying, “May Allah continue to guide and strengthen you in the service of our dear state.”
His resignation comes days after reports that he did not join Governor Fintiri and 22 other commissioners in defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress on February 27, 2026.
