Atiku's Son Abba Abubakar Backs Tinubu for 2027 Election

Abba Abubakar, the son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has publicly declared his support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid for the 2027 general elections, distancing himself from his father's presidential ambitions. At a press conference in Abuja, Abubakar introduced the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation (HBTO), a national political mobilization platform aimed at supporting Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He emphasized that his decision was a personal conviction and highlighted the importance of individual political choices. The HBTO aims to engage ordinary Nigerians and promote government policies through community involvement.

Abubakar outlined the organization's support for Tinubu's reforms, including the Nigerian Education Loan Fund for interest-free student loans and transportation support for workers. He announced plans for a two-million-man mobilization march across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, starting in Abuja, and indicated a major mobilization exercise in Rivers State next week.
