According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State Chapter, Abubakar Atiku Abubakar, the son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has made a “generational statement” by joining the APC.
The party argued that the decision to reject the African Democratic Congress (ADC) speaks louder than any political retort or press conference in a statement released by its spokesman, Seye Oladejo.
The APC claims that Atiku’s son’s decision raises more significant issues of leadership, conviction, and trust.
The Lagos APC pointed out that Atiku Abubakar’s lengthy history of switching parties—from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Action Congress (AC), back to the PDP, and now the ADC—has increased public doubts about his political orientation and ideological coherence.
The APC went on to characterize the defection as an affirmation of its governance record and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, adding that it is a sign of rising trust in the leadership and policy direction of the ruling party.
The Lagos APC welcomed Abubakar Atiku Abubakar into its ranks and declared that the days of “political tourism and ambition without ideology” are gradually coming to an end, urging Nigerians to interpret the occurrence as a sign of shifting political trends.
The party came to the conclusion that in order for leadership to be credible on a national level, it must first inspire confidence at home, a test that it maintains Nigerians are increasingly applying with discernment.
