You are a joker.

If his son has no confidence in him, why should other Nigerians vote him..

His son defecting show his father lacks capacity and is not even sure of winning that election, so he is trying to put their eggs in different baskets..

Sorry, but it will cost him a great deal of political capital.
make una dey play. That guy will work for his dad. He most likely will act like a sell out. Get info, try to sabotage the party, lol

ChiefOloye:
There are some news items on Nairaland that one should resist the urge to comment on, no matter how compelling or appealing they may be. One such news item is this. How can anyone say Atiku is a democrat simply because his biological child publicly moved to a rival political party and even promised to work for the success of his father’s opponent?
It shows that Atiku has failed in his duty as a father, because there is no way a father who shares a proper father–son relationship would allow his son to publicly denounce his aspirations. This is Nigeria, not the USA or Greece, where democracy originated.
oyinbo propaganda and misinformation grin

anyway good news to APC and PBAT

If story and relationship are true, then it’s most likely because he thinks his father will not get the candidacy of ADC.
Not will not get the ticket but will not win the election.

Nigerian political class know what they are doing. Their game is to keep their engines running no matter where the oil is coming from.
Wike have also secured his space in APC by planting his son Jordan.
Now Atiku's son is in.

This is why the north are good at playing politics. They don't put all there eggs in one basket. If Tinubu wins in 2027, it's a win for the Atikus and if Atiku wins in 2027, it's still a win for the Atikus. Same thing Hell Rufai and Son. Son in Apc, father in ADC. (Associates of defeated criminals). Our Eastern people should learn from this.
Even, south east is finally learning the proper way to play national politics. But the next general election results will tell Nigerians if they have really learnt and ready.

Is Atiku aware of this son of his from Kano? I know it's clickbait, but if true, it only goes to show that Atiku is a democrat who prioritises freewill even amongst his children.
you dey wyne? This is not a football club we are talking about here.

Atiku will get ADC ticket because he's still going to be the highest bidder as usual because delegates will sell their votes to the highest bidder as usual unless he voluntarily step down and refuse to contest pry election. Many of you are not even involved in real life politics, just online politics, so I wouldn't expect you to be well informed. Laughing

Trust Atiku at your own risk.

It's a political strategy just as Hell Rufai son was left behind in APC while the father is fighting Tinubu under ADC. Tinubu understand and he is more experienced than that.

Expected. Tinubu's threats are too much on them, with lots of efcc cases hanging on their necks as if he's a saint himself. People would think apc is sp much loved by the defectors, not knowing they're only trying to escape his efcc's hook. His own time would come, no matter how smart he thinks he is. Nigerians are taking note
Are you now defending financial criminals? The same was said to Obasanjo, Jonathan, Buhari, it is nothing new. You claiming that Tinubu is threatening them shows that you don't understand politics and clearly, you don't know Tinubu. cheesy
But again, you are hoping that Tinubu will be dragged when he leaves office? You better think again! I would be happy if that happens in Nigeria one day but who dragged Obasanjo, Jonathan or Buhari? That's to tell you you're not in tune with reality.

If Atiku can't control his son's political alignment, then he is not fit to get the ADC ticket.
There’s nothing wrong in his son joining APC, in fact he should have done that long ago.

Correct.

Oil dey flow for your head.

This is exactly what our people in other parts of the country don't understand.

Politics to them in the core North is fun (quote me) Fun.

There may be open animosity in the open in broad daylight, but behind the scene and back home, they move on together.

This is just the beginning, Atiku himself will soon defect to APC… it is a matter of time for ADC (Another Defeat Coming) to fall apart.

huh

He's going there to be planted as a mole and fish out strong I formation from them and give to his father...

Why do you think El rufai children have not also defected to ADC?
What information is there to fish? Politics is local. How election is won/rigged in Akwa Ibom is different from how it is done in Sokoto. His defection is only symbolic, he might get an appointment or contracts here and there.

Don't worry, hell defect again when APC leaves power Abi when power leaves apc
