•Donates buses for Tinubu’s re-election, pledges 2m votes
From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that he has teamed up with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to re-elect President Bola Tinubu during next year’s presidential election.
Speaking while presenting 10 campaign buses to the leadership of of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Friday, he promised to win Adamawa, his home state and mobilise two million votes for President Tinubu’s re-election.
He said that having worked for his father in two previous presidential elections, he will now work to deliver President Tinubu because he has better programmes and prospects to win the election.
“I recognise that political decisions, particularly those that differ from the positions of individuals with whom one shares personal or family relationships, often attract considerable public attention. I am equally conscious that my own political decision may be viewed within this context.
“However, I wish to make one fundamental point: political conviction is a matter of personal judgement, conscience and the freedom of every individual to make independent choices.

“My decision to establish and lead the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation is a deliberate political choice, one I have made in my personal capacity and with a firm belief in the direction we have chosen to pursue. I hold no reservations about the right of others to their differing political opinions, just as I expect my own convictions to be respected.
“Our democracy is strengthened when individuals are free to make independent political choices, engage in constructive dialogue and support the leadership and political platforms they believe best represent their aspirations,” he said.
On the transportation intervention of 10 luxurious buses, he said: “As part of our commitment to complementing the President’s reform agenda with practical interventions, the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation is introducing a transportation support initiative through the initial provision of 10 luxury buses.
“This initiative is designed to ease transportation challenges, reduce the burden of commuting on ordinary Nigerians and demonstrate that political support must go beyond rhetoric to include tangible contributions to the lives of citizens.
“We intend to commence this programme in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, before progressively expanding the initiative to other parts of the federation. For us, supporting the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda must translate into meaningful actions that positively affect the everyday lives of Nigerians,” he said.
