The recent defection of Abba Atiku Abubakar, a son of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has once again highlighted the reality that prominent political families in Nigeria are not always united along party lines.
Abba Atiku, who has pledged loyalty to President Bola Tinubu and the APC, now stands politically opposed to his father, who is leading an opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with the aim of unseating the President.
