The former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that his son, Abba Abubakar’s decision to join the APC is personal.
Atiku in a statement on his X handle, on Thursday, noted that such decisionsare neither unusual nor alarming.
AFRESH247 reports that Abba had officially dumped the PDP to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), pledging support to President Bola Tinubu.
According to him, 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.
“What truly concerns me is the poor governance of the APC and the severe economic and social hardships it has imposed on our people.
“I remain resolute in working with like-minded patriots to restore good governance and offer Nigerians a credible alternative that brings relief, hope, and progress.”
