The convener and founder of the Atiku Haske Organisation, Hon. Mai Nagge Musa Bakari, has officially declined a directive from Abba Atiku Abubakar, the son of the former Vice President, to shift the group’s allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This defiance follows Abba’s announcement on Thursday, where, after joining the ruling party, he instructed all coordinators and members of his political structure to immediately move to the APC and “mobilise support for Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.”
In a bold move, Abba had also declared the group’s name changed to the “Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation.”
However, in a press statement released on Sunday, Hon. Bakari asserted that the former Vice President’s son has “no locus” in determining which political party or candidate the group should endorse.

The statement clarified that Abba “was not the founder or originator of the Atiku Haske Organisation” and, consequently, “lacked the authority to decide for the group.”
“We founded the Atiku Haske Organisation and we merely invited Abba to join the group. Abba has neither contributed a naira to the activities of the group nor possess the certificate of registration of the group.We are therefore under no obligation or duty to adhere to any directive by him.
“In the contrary, he is the one who is subject to our regulations and evidently, he has fallen short of expectations by our standards, and expressly dismissed as a member.
“The Atiku Haske Organisation is not a party to, neither is it interested in joining Abba to defect to any other political party apart from the African Democratic Congress. We were formerly in the Peoples Democratic Party and we resolved as an organisation to move en-masse to the ADC.
“What Abba has done is contrary to our resolution, values and principles and he is hereby expelled from the organisation.
“We remain resolute in our objective of enthroning a government that will deliver good governance to mitigate the sufferings by the masses of this country.
“We are even more resolute in our conviction that His Excellency Atiku Abubakar is the best candidate to drive home our objective.
“Therefore, the Atiku Haske Organisation is solidly behind Atiku and the directive by Abba is a nullity, and is dead on arrival.
“We challenge Abba to create his own group if, indeed, he has the capacity to do so. We will not join issues with him but we urge him to desist from identifying himself as a member of our organisation,” the statement said.
