In his resignation letter to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Adamu cited "deep personal reflection and careful consideration" as the reason for his decision. He expressed gratitude to the governor for the opportunity to serve and appreciated the people of Adamawa State for their support during his tenure [1][2][3].
Adamu's resignation comes shortly after Governor Fintiri defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and he had previously opted not to join the APC with other commissioners. His brother, Abbah Abubakar Atiku, had joined the APC in January 2026
