Atiku’s Son: No Party or Politician Can Defeat Tinubu in 2027

Abba Abubakar

Abba Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has declared that no political party or individual in Nigeria has the capacity to defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Abba stated that politicians should avoid expending unnecessary energy, insisting that President Tinubu’s return to Aso Rock in 2027 is inevitable.
Speaking on Monday in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, Abba made the remarks shortly after formally registering as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He completed his membership registration at Gwadabawa Ward in Yola North Local Government Area, where party members and supporters gathered to welcome him.
“I want to make it very clear that nobody,no individual or political party can stop President Bola Tinubu from returning to Aso Rock in 2027,” he said.

Abba, who recently defected to the APC, expressed appreciation to party leaders and supporters for the warm reception he received, describing the turnout as a strong show of encouragement and solidarity.
“All you can see here is that people have come out to support me, and I am very grateful for this show of love,” he said.
He also acknowledged the leadership of the APC across various levels in Adamawa State, including members of the state executive committee, women and youth leaders, as well as ward officials.
“I want to thank the APC leaders, the state executives, the women leaders, the youth leaders, and the ward chairman. I also thank the people of Adamawa State. I am proud to be your son. By the grace of God, this journey we have started will go very far,” he added.
His temporary APC membership slip confirmed his registration as a member of the party in Gwadabawa Ward, Yola North Local Government Area, Adamawa State.
Reacting earlier to his son’s defection, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar described the decision as a personal choice guided by individual conviction, noting that political differences within families are common in a democratic society.
Atiku explained that divergent political affiliations among family members are a normal feature of plural politics and should not be considered unusual or controversial.
The development comes months after Atiku Abubakar formally left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform on which he contested the presidency multiple times. Following his departure from the PDP, Atiku joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and is currently involved in an ADC-led coalition seeking to consolidate opposition forces ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
