Speaking on the defection, Atiku on his X page said it’s bound to happen in a democracy settings, and his son decision is entirely personal.
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.
“I remain resolute in working with like-minded patriots to restore good governance and offer Nigerians a credible alternative that brings relief, hope, and progress. -AA”
In November 2025, GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that the former Vice President officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking a major twist in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
