 Atiku denies resigning from PDP

The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has denied resigning from the party.

Atiku described himself as a bona fide and loyal member of PDP.

He accused desperate politicians of sponsoring the falsehood through a Facebook page.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku condemned the claim as malicious lies and a political hatchet job.

The statement read: “We ordinarily would not waste words on faceless social media platforms like the so-called ‘Adamawa Happenings.’ However, in light of inquiries from concerned Nigerians and credible members of the press, we are compelled to set the record straight: His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria (1999–2007) and Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has not — we repeat, has not — resigned from the PDP. He remains a steadfast, bona fide, and loyal member of the party.

“The source of this baseless rumour is a Facebook page peddling falsehoods, evidently orchestrated by desperate political operatives with nothing but mischief and confusion on their agenda. It is a calculated attempt to mislead the public and sow discord among the millions of Nigerians who look to Atiku Abubakar for direction and leadership. This is not just fake news — it is a crude, shameless political hatchet job.

“We urge Nigerians, especially supporters of the Waziri Adamawa, to disregard this malicious fabrication. It is a vile, vexatious ploy that deserves nothing but contempt.

“Atiku Abubakar remains committed to the ideals of the PDP and to the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people.”
