ADC in Adamawa Splits as Atiku’s Sons Clash Over Federal Constituency Ticket

Fresh cracks have emerged in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State. Insiders say Adamu and Mohammed Atiku are each vying for the Jada–Ganye–Toungo–Mayo-Belwa Federal Constituency seat. Their parallel ambitions have divided members into rival camps under Chairman Shehu Yohanna. Party sources describe sustained power struggles and funding battles. Both factions accuse the Dasin-led transitional committee of undermining Atiku Abubakar’s wider presidential plans. Critics warn these claims are politically weaponised to weaken party leadership. The crisis has eroded internal unity. Key figures like Babachir David Lawal have distanced themselves, while Abdulaziz Nyako may return to the APC. Observers fear that channelling funds through Atiku’s children has effectively privatised the party. Without urgent intervention, the ADC in Adamawa risks implosion before the 2027 polls.
