Atiku embraced active politics in 1989 under the influence of soldier-turned-politician, Shehu Musa Yar'Adua. One of Nigeria's loudest opponents of military rule, Atiku played a prominent role in the pro-democracy movements of the 90s. He was elected into the National Constitutional Conference of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Ganye/Mayo Belwa constituency in Adamawa State from 1994 to 1995. His insistence on the exit of the military led to an assassination attempt during the brutal military regime of Sani Abacha. Having survived that, Atiku was harassed and chased into exile in 1995. He lived briefly in the United States and tried to ensure that his businesses stayed afloat despite the military regime's attempts to ruin them.
He contested and won the Governorship Election of Adamawa State in 1999. However, just before he could be sworn in as Governor, he was nominated as the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party. He was thereafter elected Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and sworn in on May 29, 1999. He was re-elected for a second four year term as Vice President and sworn in on May 29, 2003.
