No One Can Defeat Tinubu In 2027, Nigerians Have Seen His Reforms, Says Atiku’s Son
No one can defeat Tinubu in 2027, Nigerians have seen his reforms, says Atiku’s son. Abba Atiku, son of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, says no political party can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Abba, who recently joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), spoke in Yola, the capital of Adamawa, on Monday after collecting his membership registration card at Gwadabawa ward in Yola North LGA.
According to him, his decision to join the APC was driven by a desire to contribute to what he described as far-reaching economic and human development reforms under the current administration.
“I want to make it very clear that nobody or any political party can stop President Bola Tinubu from returning to Aso Rock come 2027,” PUNCH quoted Abba as saying.
“Nigerians have seen his good work; he is not a tribalist, and he doesn’t make appointments based on religion or region, but his decisions are purely on merit.”
Abba said he was encouraged by widespread infrastructural growth and human capital development under Tinubu’s leadership.
“The president needs your support to continue with the good work. We should mobilise more people and beyond party affiliations to support our president,” he added.
No One Can Defeat Tinubu
Adamu Atiku, first son of the former vice-president, remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and currently serves as commissioner for works and energy development under Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa state.
The former vice-president is aspiring to contest the presidency on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with none of his sons currently in the party.

The demonstration comes a few days after teachers protested in Ogbomoso, where the kidnapping incident occurred, demanding urgent action over the fate of the victims.
The protesters are marching through parts of the city carrying placards with inscriptions such as, “Every Life Matters, Stop the Kidnappers,” “47 Abducted, Scared and Alone,” and “Stand Up! Speak Out!” The abduction incident in Oriire Local Government Area, has continued to generate concern among education stakeholders and residents across the state.
On Monday last week, teachers shut down classroom activities in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, and staged a peaceful protest to the TESCOM office in the town over the abduction of students and teachers, which resulted in the killing of one teacher.
A week after the teachers protest, the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has directed all public primary and secondary school teachers in Oyo State to withdraw their services from schools beginning Monday, June 1, 2026, until further notice.
According to the directive issued by the national leadership of the union, the strike is in protest against the continued captivity of abducted teachers and pupils, whose rescue and safe release, according to the Union, “remain uncertain”.

It argued that the prolonged detention of the victims has created fear and anxiety among teachers, discouraged parents from sending their children to school, and heightened tension across communities in the state. Eereporter.com
NAF Earns International Combat Medical Training Accreditation, Enhances Operational Readiness
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), in collaboration with the German Technical Advisory Group (GTAG), has achieved a significant milestone in combat medical capability following the accreditation of the Air Mobile First Aid Unit (AMFAU) of the Nigerian Air Force School of Medical Sciences and Aviation Medicine (NAFSMSAM), Kaduna, by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), USA.
The achievement was marked by the successful conduct of the first-ever NAEMT-accredited Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training in Nigeria, positioning AMFAU among a select group of accredited NAEMT training centres in West Africa and reinforcing the NAF’s commitment to developing world-class combat medical capabilities.

The Tactical Combat Casualty Care programme is globally recognised as the gold standard in battlefield medicine, equipping personnel with critical lifesaving skills required to manage trauma and medical emergencies in operational environments.
The training reflects the NAF’s commitment to international best practices and comes at a time when the Service remains actively engaged in counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism and other joint military operations across the country. By strengthening combat medical expertise, the NAF is enhancing force protection, operational resilience and mission effectiveness while improving its capacity to support both operational and humanitarian contingencies.
Speaking on the achievement, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, described the accreditation and successful conduct of the inaugural TCCC course as a strategic advancement in the Nigerian Air Force’s drive towards operational excellence.
Medical Training Accreditation
He noted that the capability would significantly enhance operational readiness and survival outcomes during military operations, adding that “every life saved on the battlefield strengthens operational effectiveness and contributes directly to the successful accomplishment of the Nigerian Air Force’s mandate in support of national security objectives.”
The event, hosted by the Commandant of NAFSMSAM, Air Vice Marshal AC Ekpe, also witnessed the formal activation of AMFAU as an accredited NAEMT Training Centre and highlighted the enduring partnership between the NAF and GTAG in advancing military medical training, combat casualty care and capacity development.
