Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and PDP Presidential Candidate during the 2023 Presidential election has vehemently refuted claims made in The Nation, purportedly suggesting his departure from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement addressing the public amidst a flurry of inquiries from party members, supporters, and concerned Nigerians, Atiku denounced the article as “fabricated” and “pure mischief,” emphasizing his unwavering allegiance to the PDP.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP while advocating for the swift merger of opposition parties. He stressed the critical necessity of consolidating opposition forces, emphasizing that the urgency of this merger cannot be overstated.
Atiku did not shy away from criticizing Bola Tinubu, referring to him as pursuing personal agendas at the expense of national governance. He highlighted Tinubu’s alleged focus on the 2027 elections as indicative of a disregard for the pressing needs of the populace. Abubakar called for an end to Tinubu’s purported “bumbling escapades,” urging him to prioritize the welfare of the people over personal ambitions.
Amidst these developments, Abubakar assured the public that his media team is vigorously countering the baseless claims made against him. He urged citizens to recognize the importance of effective governance, emphasizing that the pursuit of power should not overshadow the needs of the nation.
Atiku called upon Nigerians to unite in propelling the nation forward, leaving behind the political antics of what he described as “political charlatans.” His statement underscores the importance of collective action in steering Nigeria towards progress and development.
