Atiku Abubakar reacts to son’s defection to APC

News Update

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate, has reacted to his son’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Abba Abubakar, the son of Atiku Abubakar, defected from the PDP to the ruling APC on Thursday, Jan. 15. He also pledged to work for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

Reacting in a statement, Atiku said Abba’s defection is a personal choice.

He said: “The decision of my son, Abba Abubakar, to join the APC is entirely personal.

“In a democracy, such choices are neither unusual nor alarming, even when family and politics intersect. As a democrat, I do not coerce my own children in matters of conscience, and I certainly will not coerce Nigerians.

“What truly concerns me is the poor governance of the APC and the severe economic and social hardships it has imposed on our people.
