Former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has handed over one of his houses in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The building is to henceforth serve as the Adamawa State secretariat of the coalition platform.

The house, which is located in a choice area of Jimeta near the famous Mubi Roundabout, once served as the Adamawa State secretariat of the PDP and remained in the party’s colours as of last night.

The allocation of his property for ADC’s use is said to be among Atiku’s moves towards making the coalition platform a major party in Adamawa State.

The allocation of his property for ADC’s use is said to be among Atiku’s moves towards making the coalition platform a major party in Adamawa State.

Atiku’s associates who have followed him to the ADC include the Adamawa State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023, Senator Aishatu Ahmed (Binani), and APC governor between 2025 and 2019, Senator Jibrilla Bindow.

A national official of the ADC and ardent Atiku supporter, Umar Jada, who is of Jada descent as Atiku, has described the property gift as a leap towards strengthening the coalition’s presence in Adamawa State.

Jada, who is the Assistant National Organising Secretary/Zonal Organising Secretary of the ADC, noted that the facility would provide the party with a befitting work environment.

Efforts to speak with ADC State Chairman Shehu Yohanna for comments were unsuccessful last night.

But another state official of the party, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent, confirmed the handover of the former Vice President’s property for ADC’s use.

The official said the house had not been painted in ADC colours because the PDP had not removed its assets from the house. (THE NATION)
