**Resignation Rocks Adamawa Cabinet: Atiku's Son Dumps Fintiri's Government**
In a shocking move that has sent ripples through the political landscape of Adamawa State, Honourable Adamu Atiku, the eldest son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has resigned as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in the cabinet of Governor Fintiri. This development comes just two days after his father and the Governor publicly severed ties with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While 22 out of 25 commissioners, 14 out of 21 local government chairmen, and several special advisors have also followed the Governor in defecting to the APC, Honourable Adamu Atiku's decision to resign from the PDP is a significant development. His resignation letter, personally signed and addressed to the Secretary to the State Government, Barrister Awwal Tukur, highlights his gratitude for the opportunity to serve under Governor Fintiri's leadership and contribute to the development of Adamawa State.
Adamu Atiku's tenure as Commissioner has been marked by significant infrastructural growth and development in the state. In his resignation letter, he expressed deep appreciation for the trust and support he received from Governor Fintiri, which enabled him to discharge his duties with dedication and commitment. He also extended his gratitude to the people of Adamawa State for their understanding, prayers, and support during his tenure.
The implications of Honourable Adamu Atiku's resignation are far-reaching, particularly in the context of Adamawa State's politics. As the eldest son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, his decision to resign from the PDP and the Fintiri cabinet may signal a significant shift in the state's political dynamics. While the reasons behind his resignation remain unclear, it is evident that Honourable Adamu Atiku's departure from the Fintiri cabinet marks a new chapter in the state's political history.
