"Playing down in England is what a lot of people want to do. I started down there and I managed to get a good number of games to stand me in good stead for playing at Hibs," the midfielder told Hibs TV.
"As soon as I heard about the interest, I wanted it done straight away.
"Coming back home is a big thing and the club's massive as well. It was a no-brainer."
Abdulai hopes the switch from England's League One to playing alongside the likes of Mulligan will improve his chances of international recognition.
"It is a massive ambition of mine," he said. "I have a few friends playing in the league, so I was just intrigued to see it for myself.
"My aim is just to do well with Hibs and from there go to the national team."
Abdulai added that Hibs fans can expect a player who is all about "pure running",
"a defensive midfielder or I can play anywhere in the midfield".
"I like to win the ball back, I like to play forward, I like to get on the ball and just help my team," he added.
