The birth of Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation .
Sen. Barau I Jibrin, Deputy Senate President proclaimed ........
Today at the National Assembly, I formally received Abubakar Atiku Abubakar (popularly known as Abba), the son of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, into our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a bold and historic move, Abba announced his resignation from the PDP and declared his full commitment and support to the APC and the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in 2027.
I received him together with several stakeholders of our great party, including the National Vice Chairman (North-East), Comrade Mustapha Salihu, presidential aide and chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Mahmoud Abdullahi, elder statesman, Malam Hamza Darma, among others.
Abba's words:, βMy name is Abubakar Atiku Abubakar, but everyone calls me Abba. I am here today to formally announce my exit from my former party and my decision to join the APC following the outstanding leadership style and quality of the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin.
βWith this development, I will work closely with Senator Barau to actualise the second-term bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. I am also directing all coordinators and members of my organisation, Haske Atiku Association now Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation to join the APC and work for the second term bid of President Tinubu.β
Welcoming him, I described his decision as courageous and ideological. He made this decision based on conviction, not because of who his father is, but because he believes in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's ideology and programmes for the country.
I assured him and his supporters of maximum support within the party. He has been following political developments of the country from the United States and was impressed by the administrationβs reforms and outreach efforts, prompting him to return home and join the APC.
The highlight of the event was the renaming of the political association of Abba, Haske Atiku, to Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation, signalling a complete realignment of its structure and mission ahead of 2027.
