Abba Atiku Defects to APC: What His Move Means for Atiku, Opposition, and Nigeria’s 2027 Power Game

Abba Atiku’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his open endorsement of President Bola Tinubu has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s political space. Beyond party lines, this move raises deeper questions about opposition credibility, elite political survival, and the future of Nigeria’s democracy.

Is this defection a purely personal decision, or does it quietly undermine Atiku Abubakar’s role as a leading opposition figure? Does it weaken the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a rising alternative platform? And how are ordinary Nigerians interpreting this move at a time of economic hardship and political realignment?

In this episode, we break down the political symbolism, strategic calculations, and public perception surrounding Abba Atiku’s defection — and what it reveals about power, loyalty, and opposition politics ahead of 2027.

This is not just about one politician switching parties.
It’s about trust, optics, and the future of Nigeria’s opposition.
