Son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Alhaji Adamu Abubakar has resigned from his position as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in the administration of Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.

Adamu who distanced himself since last Friday from the defections involving his principal and most members of his administration, indicated yesterday that he ceased immediately being part of the Fintiri-led executive council.

In his resignation letter, made available to newsmen last night, Adamu said he took his decision after a deep personal reflection and careful consideration.

Adamu dedicated much space to expressions of gratitude, thanking Fintiri for the opportunity to have been a part of his cabinet and Adamawa people “for their steadfast prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support” throughout his tenure as commissioner.

Fintiri had left the PDP last Friday, February 27, taking with him to the APC virtually every official of his government.

Adamu had been one of only three commissioners who did not resign from the PDP that day as 22 commissioners, 39 special advisers and the entire exco of the PDP decamped to the APC.
