Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria — Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, met with stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State, northeastern Nigeria, during a strategic engagement aimed at assessing the party’s current position and strengthening its future prospects.
Okay News reports that the meeting, held on Thursday night, brought together party leaders, influential members, and grassroots coordinators from across Adamawa State, a key political base for Atiku. The discussion focused on internal organisation, membership expansion, and mobilisation strategies ahead of future political activities.
Atiku emphasised the importance of building strong organisational structures within political parties. He noted that effective coordination at all levels is necessary to maintain member participation and enthusiasm. According to him, political parties often face difficulties in sustaining support, but such challenges can be addressed through careful planning, inclusive leadership, and consistent engagement.
“We reviewed the current state of our party, particularly regarding the ongoing registration of members and mobilisation efforts. We are confident about where we stand now and enthusiastic about prospects,” he wrote on X on Friday, March 27, 2026.
The former vice president explained that building a viable political organisation goes beyond increasing membership numbers. He stressed that systems must be created to encourage participation, strengthen accountability, and ensure members remain connected to the party’s vision and mission.
He also urged leaders within the African Democratic Congress to intensify outreach efforts across communities. Atiku encouraged engagement with young people and called for expanded networks to ensure the party’s message reaches all parts of Adamawa State.
The meeting is seen as part of ongoing efforts to reposition the party in the state, where grassroots mobilisation and membership registration remain central to strengthening its political influence. Observers say such engagements are aimed at consolidating structures ahead of future electoral cycles.
