A prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has sent a stern warning to Abubakar \u201cAbba\u201d Atiku, following his decision to join the ruling party. <\/p>\n
Abba is the son of former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a heavyweight in the opposition.<\/p>\n
The younger Atiku officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC on January 15, 2026. <\/p>\n
While the move has been viewed by some as a major political gain for the ruling party, Igbokwe expressed deep-seated reservations about the sincerity of the defection.<\/p>\n
In a recent social media statement, the Lagos-based politician made it clear that while the party is open to new members, there is no room for double agents. <\/p>\n
He cautioned the leadership of the APC to be vigilant, suggesting that the entry of a high-profile opposition figure\u2019s son could be a strategic plant rather than a genuine shift in ideology.<\/p>\n
Igbokwe, who is known for his outspoken defense of the APC, wrote: \u201cI hear that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar\u2019s son has joined APC. I hope it is real oooo. We do not want a mole in the house oooo. Ka fi suru oooooo.\u201d<\/p>\n
His comments reflect a growing concern among party loyalists regarding the influx of defectors from the PDP and opposition parties, as the 2027 general elections begin to take shape. <\/p>\n
Igbokwe\u2019s use of the Yoruba phrase \u201cKa fi suru\u201d underscores a call for caution and patience in integrating new members who have deep ties to the opposition.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
