Albadé Abouba is a Nigerien politician who has been the Secretary-General of the National Movement for the Development of Society (MNSD-Nassara) since 2009. He served in the government of Niger as Minister of the Interior from 2002 to 2004 and again from 2007 to 2010. Abouba also served as Prime Minister in an acting capacity for a brief period in September–October 2009. In August 2013 he served in the government of Mahamadou Issoufou as Minister of State. He is now the president of The MPR-Jamhuriya, a political party that he created in October 2015 and since April 2016 he served as Minister of State, Minister of Agriculture and livestock.
Abouba is a Bororo (Wodaabe) Fulani from the area of Kao in Tchin-Tabaraden District, which is part of Tahoua Department. He served for a time as sub-prefect of Arlit District, and he was appointed as Minister of the Interior and Decentralization in the government named on 8 November 2002. In order to maintain the balance of party and regional representation in the government, Abouba was dismissed in December 2004 so that the government would not include three MNSD ministers from Tahoua Department. He was instead appointed as Adviser to the Presidency, while holding the rank of Minister.
Abouba was again appointed to the government as Minister of the Interior and Decentralization on 1 March 2007, and in the government of Prime Minister Seyni Oumarou, named on June 9, 2007, he was promoted to the position of Minister of State for the Interior, Public Security, and Decentralization.
When Prime Minister Seyni Oumarou resigned on 23 September 2009 in order to stand as a candidate in the October 2009 parliamentary election, President Mamadou Tandja appointed Abouba to succeed Oumarou in an acting capacity. He was replaced by Ali Badjo Gamatié on 2 October 2009.
