Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has faced criticism from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) following his son Abba's decision to support President Bola Tinubu's reelection bid for 2027. Theo Abu Agada, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, described the move as "very bad optics" and stated that Atiku should give up his political ambition.
Abba has unveiled a mobilization plan across six geopolitical zones and intends to organize a two-million-man march for Tinubu.
Atiku continues to be a major contender for the 2027 presidential election and has frequently challenged Tinubu's policies, including accusing the president of causing hunger in the country. According to Premium Times, Atiku and the NDC also pressed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding questionable voter records, prompting a promise from the commission to make corrections before certification.
