Alhaji Abba Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has formally parted ways with his father’s political camp to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
Abba announced the move in Abuja, where he unveiled a campaign initiative for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). As part of the rollout, he donated 10 buses to boost logistics for the president’s reelection machinery and laid out plans for a two-million man mobilization march in the Federal Capital Territory.
“Political conviction is a matter of personal judgment, conscience, and the freedom of every individual to make independent choices,” Abba told reporters in Abuja.
The defection delivers a striking blow to the elder Abubakar, a persistent opposition figure who has contested the presidency multiple times. The former vice president’s camp has not yet issued a formal statement addressing the family split.
