Atiku’s Son, Abba Abubakar, Registers As APC Member In Adamawa
On
January 26, 2026, Abba Abubakar, son of Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, formally registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Adamawa State.
The registration took place at Gwadabawa Ward in Yola North Local Government Area, where he was warmly received by party leaders and supporters. Abba Abubakar expressed gratitude to the APC leadership at various levels, including the state executive, women leaders, youth leaders, and the chairman, acknowledging their support and pledging his commitment to the party’s vision. He emphasized his optimism about the political journey ahead, stating that by the grace of God, the path he has embarked upon would lead far.
His
membership slip confirmed his registration details, tying him to Adamawa State,
Yola North Local Government Area, and Gwadabawa Ward. The event was marked by
visible enthusiasm from party members who came out to welcome him, reinforcing
the significance of his decision.
Former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar responded to his son’s move by describing it as a
personal choice driven by individual conscience. He noted that political
differences within families are not unusual in democratic societies,
underscoring the plural nature of politics.
Atiku
himself had earlier left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform on
which he contested the presidency multiple times, and joined the African
Democratic Congress (ADC). He is currently working with an ADC-led coalition to
consolidate support ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The
development highlights the dynamic shifts within Nigeria’s political landscape,
particularly in Adamawa State, where the APC continues to attract new members.
Abba Abubakar’s registration is not only symbolic of generational involvement
in politics but also reflective of the broader realignments taking place across
party lines in anticipation of future elections.
