The son of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has replied the son of Bauchi State governor, Shamsu Bala, saying Governor Bala Mohammed has never ed the ambition of Atiku in both 2019 and 2023 presidential elections.

Atiku’s son, Mohammed Atiku-Abubakar, in a statement released to newsmen on Monday in Abuja, said Atiku had never enjoyed Shamsu’s father’a in his bid for the presidency, saying: “the only difference now is that Shamsu has removed the mask and now we do not have to worry about the feigned impression of any from his father.”

The controversy followed a recent comment made by Shamsu Bala Mohammed where he threatened that his father will not Atiku in 2027 elections.

According to the statement signed by Mohammed, Shamsu Bala’s comments, reek of arrogance and an exaggerated sense of relevance.

Continuing, the statement read: “Let it be known to Shamsu that, never has Atiku dissipated an ounce of energy towards his fathers political travails. This is simply because Atiku’s politics transcends such shenanigans, and he has consistently remained above bar. Moreover, whatever conflict Bala Muhammed may have had with politicians in Bauchi, in the lead to the 2023 elections, had nothing to do with Atiku Abubakar. It was purely a local affair.


“Let me re-emphasise that at no point has Shamsu’s father ever ed Atiku Abubakar in his political career.

“On the contrary, the ignoble role his father played in 2023 where he clandestinely worked against the presidential candidate of his party is still fresh on Nigerians’ memory.

“In case Shamsu has been off the news reel, we wish to refer him to a recent remark by his fathers political mentor, the Minister of FCT, Nysome Wike who revealed how the Bauchi State Governor orchestrated plans to ensure that Atiku did not win in 2023 election.

“It is noteworthy to mention that Governor Bala Mohammed’s presidential ambition is the reason for his poor management of PDP Governors Forum, where he couldn’t command the respect and control of his colleagues. We are not also unawares of his secret hobnobbing with Tinubu’s Government.

“Let me conclude by telling my brother, Shamsu, that the focus of every patriotic Nigerian, should be on promoting political discourse that advances our dear country Nigeria, not on needless rantings.”

Atiku should just quietly retire from politics. Even his son is now openly calling him a failure.

How? Quietly retire so that you can keep perpetuating hardship on us with una rubbish unyielding policies of a reform? Abi Atiku is no longer a Nigerian with a right to contest?
Anything that will dislodge this self-centered APC crop individuals is desperately welcomed. Whether Atiku or Whoever. We can't continue like this

Abeg gettat with your one-sided stories and propaganda.

Na mumu dey believe all these cock and bull stories

Atiku had his chances but wasted it. He should make way for a younger Southerner this time.

Big men fighting... these ones will realise that nothing lasts forever in times to come.


I when we were young in Warri. My Grand father, General David Akpode Ejoor, we were feeling fly and living like Kings. We had more military officers in our large family than anyone from our clan, Infact, we were so proud and even as an adult now, i still av that attitude... After his death, all that power just vanished... No matter how powerful or well connected you are, always , power is transient.

Na una wey dey them I pity. Las las their kids will take over and the cycle continues

Princess Faith Chukwu.

And all of you are working to fulfill and promote your interests, not for the masses. I dey see one blind fool for this forum wey his papa still dey feed dey praise tilimpoo

In 2027, one thing is certain. Atiku will be unable to override the pdp party structures. His obsession for power and sneaky behaviour s won't let the governors give him a chance. He should better go and that midget
Butcher in SDP because pdp won't surrender to atiku anymore

Imagine all these fools Hell Rufai son, Atiku son it's now Bala son

Una papa🖐️

Tooor!

Very nonsensical set of people...
Nigeria is now a playground that son's of politicians will now turn it to royal rumble for their selfishness on top of our tax money

Two over fed Children

Battle of the sons!

Shamsu Bala actually did Atikus son dirty

These kids have been properly fed from the tax hard working Nigerians contribute to FAAC if not all these maganganu for no starts.

Atiku's son, family heaster

Bala is secretly hobnobbing with Tinubu's Government? Unexpected, with the fact that his criticism of Tinubu's government recently making headlines.

Their children are all grown up. I will advise the both of them to tell their father to quit politics and allow them to govern

So Atiku get pickin

Nothing concern me here. This na rich men pikin fight

Over fed brants

Ironbull:
Imagine all these fools Hell Rufai son, Atiku son it's now Bala son

first son isn't left out.

Atiku should rest. He's an elderstatesman. He should stop embarrassing himself. If he runs 100 times, he can never win. His era is gone

Bala Mohammed and his son are just irrelevant in Nigeria politics.

How can a son be insulting another elder like Atiku without the father cautioning him.

Bala Mohammed, the confused politician

Wetin dey do all this aboki children now

Bala and Atiku are snakes. Bala has stopped his useless visits to Rivers State after misleading Fubara.
