POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE: Atiku’s Son Drops Absolute Blockbuster, Backs Tinubu’s 2027 Bid With 10 Luxury Buses!

In one of the most stunning political family twists ahead of the 2027 general elections, Abba Atiku Abubakar—biological son of former Vice President and opposition stalwart Atiku Abubakar—has officially pitched his tent with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Nigerian political landscape has been thrown into absolute disarray following a high-stakes defection and endorsement that crosses deep familial and party lines.

Alhaji Abba Atiku Abubakar, heading the newly unveiled Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation (HBTO), stepped foot into the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to declare his absolute commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

The move is particularly explosive given that his father, Atiku Abubakar, stands as a major opposition presidential contender.

Addressing journalists and party leaders—including the APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Bukar Dalori—Abba pulled back the curtain on his motivation:

A Matter of Personal Conviction: Defending his decision to break ranks with his father's camp, Abba maintained that his support for Tinubu is driven entirely by personal political conviction and a firm belief in the administration's trajectory.

The Fleet Deployment: Backing his words with heavy financial hardware, he formally handed over 10 luxury mobilization buses to turbocharge grassroots campaign logistics.

Massive Nationwide Mobilization: Unveiling the strategic roadmap for HBTO, Abba announced plans to kick off a massive two-million-man mobilization march starting right from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) before rolling out across all six geopolitical zones. He also emphasized alignment with key stakeholders to lock down strategic territories for the ruling party.

As shockwaves ripple through political circles and opposition camps grapple with the dramatic optics of a son publicly challenging his father's political empire, this high-profile defection signals an intense, unpredictable battle line being drawn ahead of 2027!
