Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has openly declared his resolve to work against his father’s 2027 presidential ambition by throwing his full weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Abba Atiku made this known on Monday in Yola, Adamawa State, where he was formally received into the APC amid a rousing, and carnival-like atmosphere at the party’s state secretariat.
The Chairman of the APC in Adamawa State, Barrister Shuaibu Idris, described the defection as a strong signal of President Tinubu’s growing national acceptance, even within the elite opposition circles.
Idris pointed that the decision of the son of a leading opposition figure publicly commit to Tinubu’s re-election underscores the widening appeal and political capital of the President across party and family lines.
He further detailed that the son of Atiku has made a clear statement with his latest decision noting that the decision of the son of one of the most dominant opposition figure to align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and commits himself to his victory, speaks volumes about the direction of the country and the confidence Nigerians have in his administration.
He strongly appluad Abba Atiku for what he called an independent, bold, and patriotic choice, noting that the move showed a willingness to rise above personal, family, and emotional considerations in favour of what he believes is in the national interest.
The Organising Secretary of the APC in Adamawa State, Mustapha Atiku Ribadu, also described the development as historic, noting that it coincided with the alignment of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State with the APC on the same day in another state.
“We are grateful to receive two Abbas today, one in Kano and one in Adamawa. Abba Atiku Abubakar has shown clarity of judgment, wisdom, and political foresight. He has proven that he can take decisions independently, without being driven by sentiments,” he said.
Speaking after his formal registration, Abba Atiku Abubakar expressed deep appreciation for the warm reception he received from the APC, from the national leadership down to his ward.
He said the respect and sense of belonging shown to him reinforced his decision and strengthened his resolve to work for the party’s success.
