A supporter of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reportedly torn up his membership card of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and publicly declared support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
A video circulating on social media shows the unidentified supporter destroying the ADC membership card in what appeared to be a public demonstration of his decision to abandon the party.
The development has attracted attention amid ongoing political realignments ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
In the video, the supporter expressed his decision to back Tinubu, signalling a shift in political allegiance from the camp associated with Atiku to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The incident comes at a time when opposition politicians and supporters are increasingly repositioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections, with the ADC emerging as a platform attracting prominent opposition figures.
Atiku, a former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been involved in efforts to build a broader opposition coalition ahead of the next general election.
However, the latest incident highlights the political fluidity within Nigeria’s opposition space, as some supporters reconsider their affiliations and political loyalties.
The authenticity and exact circumstances surrounding the video could not be independently verified at the time of filing this report.
The development is expected to generate further reactions as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.
