Atiku Denies Resigning from PDP, Calls Rumours a Political Hatchet Job
For the second time in recent weeks, the former Vice President and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last general election, Atiku Abubakar, has denied that he resigned from the party. A statement by Atiku’s Media Aide, Paul Ibe said the former vice president has not resigned from the PDP, insisting that Atiku is a bonafide member of the party. The media office said that the statement that Atiku has resigned from the PDP is a political hatchet job. According to Ibe, ”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, bonafide, and loyal member of the party. ”The source of this baseless rumour is a Facebook page peddling falsehood, 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 the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people,” the statement stated.
