He maintained that the president’s record in office had earned him the confidence of Nigerians, stressing that Tinubu’s leadership style was inclusive and merit-driven.
Abba Atiku, a son of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, has reiterated that President Bola Tinubu remains unbeatable ahead of the 2027 presidential election, insisting that no political party poses a serious challenge to the incumbent.
Abba made the assertion on Monday in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, shortly after officially registering as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at Gwadabawa Ward in Yola North Local Government Area.
Speaking to party supporters, Abba said his decision to align with the ruling party was informed by what he described as the Tinubu administration’s sweeping economic reforms and commitment to human development across the country.
He maintained that the president’s record in office had earned him the confidence of Nigerians, stressing that Tinubu’s leadership style was inclusive and merit-driven.
“I want to state clearly that President Bola Tinubu will return to Aso Rock in 2027. No individual or political party can stop that,” Abba was quoted as saying.
“Nigerians are seeing the results of his leadership. He is not guided by tribe or religion in making appointments; merit comes first.”
Abba further praised the administration for what he called visible progress in infrastructure and human capital development, urging Nigerians to rally behind the president to sustain the reforms.
According to him, support for Tinubu should go beyond party lines in order to consolidate ongoing development efforts.
Meanwhile, political affiliations within the Atiku Abubakar family remain divided.
Adamu Atiku, the former vice-president’s first son, is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and currently serves as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in Adamawa State under Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
Atiku Abubakar himself is pursuing his 2027 presidential ambition on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a party none of his sons is presently affiliated with.
