Monday, January 19, 2026 - A pro-Atiku Abubakar group has officially expelled the son of the former vice president, Abba, who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress.
Mai Bakari, convener of the Atiku Haske Organization,
disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
This comes after Abba on Thursday defected to the ruling
party, APC, after which he directed all coordinators and members of his
political structure to immediately join the APC and mobilize support for
Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
Reacting, Bakari said the former vice president’s son has no
locus in deciding for the group which party or candidate to support.
According to the statement, Abba is not the founder or
originator of the Atiku Haske Organization and lacks the authority to decide
for the group.
“We founded the Atiku Haske Organization, and we merely
invited Abba to join the group. Abba has neither contributed a naira to the
activities of the group nor possesses the certificate of registration of the
group. We are therefore under no obligation or duty to adhere to any directive
by him.
“On the contrary, he is the one who is subject to our
regulations, and evidently, he has fallen short of expectations by our
standards and has been expressly dismissed as a member.
“The Atiku Haske Organisation is not a party to, nor is it
interested in joining Abba to defect to any other political party apart from
the African Democratic Congress. We were formerly in the Peoples Democratic
Party, and we resolved as an organization to move en masse to the ADC,” he
stated.
Earlier, Atiku, who had recently defected to the African
Democratic Congress to pursue his 2027 presidential ambition, had described his
son’s decision as personal.
