Atiku's Son Defects to APC, Backs Tinubu for Second Term in Major Political Realignment

Abba Abubakar, the son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has left the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has expressed support for President Bola Tinubu's potential 2023 and 2027 presidential bids. The announcement was made at the National Assembly in Abuja, where Abubakar was described as a key figure in the North East geopolitical zone.

His defection is seen as a strategic move to align with the ruling party and reflects a shift in political dynamics. The APC leadership welcomed Abubakar, emphasizing the party's ideology and policies over personal ambitions.
