Atiku Describes Son’s APC Move As Personal, Vows To Deliver Credible Alternative
Former Vice President and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has commented on his son Abba Abubakar’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as a matter of personal choice.
In a statement shared on X, Atiku 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.”
He stressed that he respects individual conscience, adding, “As a democrat, I do not coerce my own children in matters of conscience, and I certainly will not coerce Nigerians.”
Atiku also criticized the ruling party, saying, “What truly concerns me is the poor governance of the APC and the severe economic and social hardships it has imposed on our people.”
He reaffirmed his commitment to offering Nigerians an alternative, stating, “I remain resolute in working with like-minded patriots to restore good governance and provide Nigerians with a credible option that brings relief, hope, and progress.”
