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, effective 2nd March 2026.
In a resignation letter to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, Abubakar said his decision followed “deep personal reflection and careful consideration,” describing his tenure as a privilege and an opportunity to contribute to the state’s infrastructural development.
“This decision follows deep personal reflection and careful consideration. 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 wrote.
His resignation comes weeks after Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, a former ally of his father, decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a move that has reshaped political alliances in the state.
Abubakar expressed gratitude to the governor for the confidence and support that enabled him to execute his responsibilities effectively.
“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,” he added.
He also thanked the people of Adamawa State for their prayers and encouragement during his time in office, noting that their support had been a constant source of strength. “I extend my sincere appreciation to the good people of Adamawa State for their understanding, prayers, and support during my time in service. Their encouragement has been a constant source of strength,” Abubakar said.
The outgoing commissioner also pledged his respect to the governor and prayed for continued guidance in serving the state.
