The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has described reports that he had dumped the party as malicious lies and a political hatchet job.
The former vice president made this known on Friday in a statement that was issued by his Media Office to newsmen in Abuja.
The statement said: “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 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.”
