Atiku had a very humble beginning and has witnessed huge struggles of life considering the early death of his father after he was jailed for not being able to pay fine (10 shillings) that was charged by Alkali court for trying to stop Atiku Abubakar from going to school when Native Authority officials had embarked on compulsory mass literacy campaign in the region.

While growing up, Abubakar’s father wanted him to become an Islamic scholar, herdsman, farmer, and trader – just like him. But contrary to this dream, he became a politician, businessman, and philanthropist, and served as the 2nd elected Vice-President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, as a member of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), under President Olusegun Obasanjo.
