BREAKING NEWS: ABBA ATIKU ABUBAKAR JOINS APC

Abuja, January 15, 2026

Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a move aimed at mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Abba Atiku Abubakar was received on Thursday evening in Abuja by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, and the National Vice Chairman of the APC (North East), Comrade Mustafa Salihu.

As part of his political realignment, Abba Atiku Abubakar announced the rebranding of the political support group he founded. The organisation, previously known as the Atiku Haske Organisation, has now been renamed the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation.
The group was originally established in 2022 to advance political engagement and mobilisation. Its rebranding signals a renewed focus on supporting President Tinubu’s leadership and re-election bid.

The development is seen as a significant boost for the APC, particularly in the North-East region, as the party continues to consolidate support ahead of future political contests.
