Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, has stated that his son Abba Abubakar’s decision to join the APC was a personal one and should not be taken seriously.
In a statement released on Thursday, January 15, 2026, Atiku stated that he did not meddle with his children’s or Nigerians’ conscience and that family members’ political decisions were typical in a democracy.
According to him, “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.”
