2027 ELECTIONS

ABUJA, Nigeria — 31-10-2026
Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, has pledged 10 buses to support mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
The pledge was announced during Abba’s visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat in Abuja on Friday. He was received by the party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Bukar Dalori, according to a statement issued by Yusi Buba, a senior assistant to the deputy national chairman on youth mobilisation.
The statement said Abba commended the APC leadership and Tinubu’s administration and expressed support for the President’s bid to remain in office.
“In a demonstration of his commitment to the political engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections, Hon. Abba Atiku Abubakar announced the donation of ten buses to support activities aimed at mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in 2027,” the statement said.
Pledge announced; delivery details not provided
Dalori welcomed Abba and acknowledged the pledge, the statement said. It did not specify when the buses would be delivered, who owns or will provide them, or how the vehicles would be funded.
The available account describes an announced pledge; it does not establish that the buses have been delivered or placed into service.
Support organisation plans nationwide campaign
The pledge follows Abba’s announcement of a nationwide mobilisation plan for Tinubu’s re-election and the launch of the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation, a political support platform.
At a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Abba said the organisation would begin its activities in the Federal Capital Territory before expanding to other parts of Nigeria. He also announced plans for a two-million-person mobilisation march across the country’s six geopolitical zones, starting in Abuja.
No timetable or operational details for the proposed march were included in the information provided.
Father and son back different political platforms
Abba defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC in January and declared support for Tinubu’s second-term bid, according to the account of his political move.
His father, Atiku Abubakar, is identified as the African Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election. The two therefore appear on different political platforms ahead of the race: Abba is backing the APC-led campaign, while his father is associated with the ADC’s presidential bid.
Abba’s pledge adds to early mobilisation activity ahead of the 2027 elections, but key details—including the buses’ funding, delivery and deployment—remain undisclosed. The proposed nationwide campaign and march have also yet to be accompanied by a public timetable in the information available.
