Atiku's Son Joins APC, Backs Tinubu for 2027 Presidency Bid

Abba Atiku Abubakar, the son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has officially joined the APC in Adamawa State, pledging support for Bola Tinubu's rumored presidential candidacy in 2027. His defection has stirred political discussions, especially as Atiku Abubakar remains a prominent PDP member.

Abba's decision was influenced by Tinubu's leadership style and development initiatives. The APC's zonal vice chairman in Adamawa Central, Isa Bagalti, clarified that the party's chances in the 2027 elections are strong.

The move has added a layer of political irony in Adamawa's political landscape. Abba's defection was received positively by APC leaders, including Mustapha Salihu, who sees it as a symbol of the party's growing influence.

Atiku Abubakar emphasized that his son's decision was personal and not coerced, highlighting the democratic nature of political choices within their family.
