Vendetta no good.

Anyway, Atiku Abubakar must not continue to wrestle for power with the younger ones in Nigeria's politics.
How is Atiku wrestling power from the younger ones? Did any youth aspire to become president from your lineage and Atiku stopped him or her?

Try to use your head before typing nonsense.

Tinubu is teaching Atiku some lessons. I advise Atiku to relinquish his ambition and support Peter Obi with his full chest, unapologetic of the myopic, tribalisti(, religiou$ fantastics in the north. That's the only way he can remain relevant in Nigeria.

He's a former Vice President of Nigeria, and now a former Waziri of Adamawa now doesn't change his name "Atiku Abubakar"



I think the governor is senseless by doing this to him.

In Nigeria, power is not transient, personal interest is. Fintiri's focus now is to be his State's godfather, and he can't achieve that when Atiku Is on the throne, you understand

BREAKING: Adamawa Govt Strips Atiku Abubakar Of Waziri Adamawa Title, Others Also Affected.



The Waziri Adamawa is the second highest in authority after the paramount ruler, the Lamido of Adamawa.

In a stunning political and traditional shake-up, the Adamawa State Government has officially stripped Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, of his revered title as Waziri Adamawa, citing non-indigeneship—a move widely seen as a calculated effort to diminish his political influence in his home state.

The Waziri Adamawa is the second highest in authority after the paramount ruler, the Lamido of Adamawa.


The removal, which also affects the Walin Adamawa, was disclosed in a circular dated June 20, 2025, and signed by Mrs. Adama Felicity Mamman, Permanent Secretary of the Department of Chieftaincy Affairs under the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.


The circular stated, “Following the creation of new Chiefdoms in the state by the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, I am directed to inform you that all Kingmakers and Council members in the state must be indigene (sic) of their Chiefdoms.

“E.g, all Kingmakers and Council members from Adamawa Emirate Council must be indigene of Yola South, Yola North, Girei, Mayo-Belwa, Song and Zumo Districts; while those of Mubi Emirate Council, must be indigene of Mubi North, Mubi South vis-à-vis all Emirates/Traditional councils in the state," the circular stated.


This effectively disqualifies Atiku, who hails from Jada Local Government Area under the Ganye Chiefdom, from holding a title within the Adamawa Emirate Council.


The timing and nature of the directive have sparked outrage and speculation, as political watchers interpret it as a deliberate public humiliation of Atiku by Governor Umaru Fintiri—his former political ally during the 2023 general elections.

Both men contested under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with Atiku running for President and Fintiri for governor.

However, the relationship between the two appears to have deteriorated dramatically, particularly in light of Atiku’s recent involvement in talks with Fintiri's arch-rival, Aishatu Binani, Peter Obi and former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to form a new opposition coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu’s APC in the 2027 elections.

Further stirring unease is a controversial executive bill now before the Adamawa State House of Assembly, which seeks to empower the governor to “depose any ailing emir or king” and install a “chosen prince” of his preference.

Critics argue that this would grant the governor sweeping powers over traditional institutions, potentially enabling a broader political purge under the guise of administrative reform.

While government insiders insist the decision is routine and legal, the symbolism of ousting one of Nigeria’s most prominent political figures from his royal position is being seen as nothing short of a political thunderclap.

What?! How is this clean sweep of the traditional titles of the Fulani political hegemonists in Adamawa State possible?

This is a local issue though since I recall reading a few years ago that new Chiefdoms were being planned for Adamawa State so it's highly irresponsible for some uninformed posters here to say that the Nigerian President 'Bola Tinubu is behind this.[/b]

So, the man Atiku Abubakar is said in the report NOT to be an indigene of a specific locality in Adamawa State BUT from Jada. On larger scale, it's a known FACT that many of the Fulas in most of the 19 Northern States are NOT indigenous to those places. They just simply migrated with cattle from their original foreign countries as far as Mauritania, Senegal and Guinea Conakry to settle in Nigeria. Usman Dan Fodio himself was born in what is now modern Niger Republic) ONLY to start claiming indigeneship which even the indigenous Hausa of Hausaland in Nigeria who have existed for over 1000 years on their lands are NOT doing by randomly and irresponsibly going about claiming to be indigenes of all the 19 Northern States.

We'll have to FACT-CHECK this and see how this pans out especially as the news source is from Sahara Reporters which has become a source for the dissemination of unverified news and disinformation by Sowore since 2019 or thereabouts.

Reforms are necessary though in several states in especially Northern Nigeria to cut down the negative influences of the minority Fulanis of foreign origin and their political hegemony over indigenous Nigerian ethnic groups which the British Colonialists irresponsibly helped to exacerbate by propping the Fula Amirs up.

It is going to be a fight to finish in 2027 between Atiku's camp who now have Elisha Aboh and Binani and Fintiri's successor/camp.
Some people will come here to blame Tinubu. Atiku should know when to quit the political stage. Can you imagine how Fintiri is disgracing his in the eyes of the world.
