Honourable Adamu Atiku Abubakar has resigned from his position as Adamawa State Commissioner for Works and Energy Development, effective March 2.
In a formal letter addressed to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said his decision followed “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.
Adamu Atiku also expressed gratitude to the governor for the “confidence and trust” reposed in him during his tenure, noting that the administration provided an enabling environment for him to discharge his duties.
He further thanked the people of Adamawa State for their “understanding, prayers, and support,” describing their encouragement as a constant source of strength.
His resignation comes shortly after Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a development widely viewed as a significant political realignment in Adamawa State.
