2027: Atiku’s Son Declares Support for Tinubu’s Re-Election

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

Hon. Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President and 2027 ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has pledged to work towards delivering Adamawa State, his father’s traditional political stronghold, to President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 general elections.

Abba made the declaration on Friday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja during a media briefing to unveil the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation (HBTO), a political mobilisation group he founded to promote Tinubu’s re-election.

Addressing the political implications of backing his father’s political rival, Abba maintained that his decision was based on personal conviction and his assessment of the administration’s policies, rather than family ties or personal interests.

“Any government that comes up with policies, and if those policies, to me, are going to help the people, I’ll join them. And I don’t think antagonising my brother is the issue. I believe in the current regime and the current government’s policies and reforms that are taking place,” he said.

He identified the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), road infrastructure projects, increased allocations to state governments through the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) and economic relief programmes as some of the initiatives informing his support for Tinubu.
