Abba Atiku, son of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, has stated that no political party stands a chance of defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Abba, who recently joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), made the remarks in Yola, Adamawa State, on Monday after receiving his membership registration card at Gwadabawa ward in Yola North LGA. He explained that his decision to join the APC was driven by a desire to contribute to what he described as broad-based economic and human development reforms under the current administration. “I want to make it very clear that nobody or any political party can stop President Bola Tinubu from returning to Aso Rock come 2027,” Abba said, according to PUNCH. He praised Tinubu for his leadership style, saying, “Nigerians have seen his good work; he is not a tribalist, and he doesn’t make appointments based on religion or region, but his decisions are purely on merit.” Abba also highlighted the infrastructural growth and human capital development achieved under Tinubu’s government as reasons for his support. “The president needs your support to continue with the good work. We should mobilise more people and, beyond party lines, back our president,” he added. His brother, Adamu Atiku, remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and currently serves as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development under Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State. Their father, the former vice-president, is seeking the presidency under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a party in which none of his sons are currently active.
