2027: Atiku’s son mobilises support for Tinubu, donates 10 buses

Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, has pledged 10 buses to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Abba made the pledge during a visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat in Abuja on Friday, where he declared support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

According to a statement by the APC Senior Special Assistant on Youth Mobilisation to the Deputy National Chairman, Yusi Buba, Abba was received by the party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Bukar Dalori.

The statement said Abba commended the APC leadership and Tinubu’s administration, while pledging the buses to strengthen the party’s mobilisation activities.

“In a demonstration of his commitment to the political engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections, Hon. Abba Atiku Abubakar announced the donation of ten buses to support activities aimed at mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in 2027,” the statement said.

Dalori welcomed the pledge, describing it as support for the party’s preparations ahead of the elections.

The development followed Abba’s announcement of a nationwide mobilisation campaign for Tinubu’s re-election and the unveiling of the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation, a political support platform.

At a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Abba said the organisation would begin its activities in the Federal Capital Territory before expanding to other parts of the country.

He also announced plans for a two-million-man mobilisation march across the six geopolitical zones, starting in Abuja.

Abba defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC in January and declared support for Tinubu’s second-term bid.

His father, Atiku Abubakar, is the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress for the 2027 general election.
