A Press Statement by the Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has noted with unmistakable clarity the political earthquake occasioned by the decision of Abubakar Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to openly reject the pretentious ADC contraption and pitch his tent with the APC.
This singular act has said more than a thousand press conferences ever could.
When a man’s own son deserts his political judgment, repudiates his choices, and embraces an alternative path, Nigerians are entitled to ask: what deeper indictment of credibility is required? If those closest to you are unconvinced by your political convictions, how do you expect an entire nation to suspend disbelief?
For decades, Nigerians have endured Atiku Abubakar’s ideological wanderings -a restless political odyssey defined by serial defections, transactional alliances, and an obsession with the Presidency that has outlived both public patience and political relevance. From PDP to AC, back to PDP, and now to the ADC, his politics has been nothing more than a nomadic ambition in search of a party – any party -willing to mortgage its soul.
That his own son has now drawn a clear line of departure is not coincidence; it is confession.
Abubakar Atiku Abubakar’s decision to join the APC is a generational rebuke of recycled politics, expired ambitions, and the illusion of leadership without conviction. It is an emphatic vote of confidence in the APC’s record of governance and in the Renewed Hope Agenda being diligently implemented under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Let it be said without equivocation: when credibility collapses at home, it cannot be rehabilitated in the marketplace of national politics. Nigerians are discerning enough to understand that trust begins from within, and leadership that cannot inspire loyalty in its immediate constituency cannot inspire confidence in a nation of over 200 million people.
The Lagos APC therefore welcomes this courageous choice and urges Nigerians to read the political handwriting on the wall. The era of political tourism, moral inconsistency, and ambition without ideology is gasping for relevance. If Atiku’s son has moved on, Nigeria certainly should.
