It’s none of my business Abubakar Jr joined APC to support Tinubu: Atiku
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has described his son’s defection to the All Progressives Congress as a personal choice and not a cause for alarm.
In a statement on Thursday, Mr Abubakar said, “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.”
Mr Abubakar’s son defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC, declaring support for President Bola Tinubu.
“What truly concerns me is the poor governance of the APC and the severe economic and social hardships it has imposed on our people,” stated the former vice-president.
The politician said he remained resolute to work with like-minded patriots to restore good governance and offer Nigerians a credible alternative that brings relief, hope, and progress.
