2027: Adamu Garba Reacts as Atiku’s Son joins APC
By Seyi Babalola
Adamu Garba, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has criticised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s son, Abba, for joining the governing political party.
Garba stated that Abba’s choice is not a good deal for APC members who are parents.
Posting on X, he pondered why a son would abandon his father when he was most in need.
He wrote: “I am a member of APC, but I don’t think joining our party by Abba, the son of former Vice President, H.E Atiku Abubakar is a good deal, especially for APC members who are parents.
“I pray for those celebrating to never see a day that their children jettison them at the time when they are needed most.
“Any child who dumps his father when he is needed the most will not hesitate to dump you, no matter who else you are.”
On Thursday, Abba had at the National Assembly dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with the vow to ensure that President Bola Tinubu is reelected in 2027.
His father, Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the PDP in 2023, had a few months ago joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after a series of coalition talks.
