The former vice president and presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has denied reports that he had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
He renewed his support for a coalition of political parties to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
Recently, various reports suggested that Atiku was considering leaving the PDP in preparation for the 2027 presidential election.
The reports said he was finalising moves to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Reacting to the reports in a statement on Saturday, Atiku’s media office said the former vice president remains a bonafide member of the PDP and that the reports were a complete fallacy without any logical basis.
The statement stated that he was busy organising a strong coalition to ensure that the ruling APC is ousted from office by 2027.
”We wish to clarify that the so-called news of Atiku defecting to another party is a total fallacy that holds no merit in logic,” said the statement signed by Mr. Paul Ibe.
The statement noted that “Atiku had persistently called for a coalition of opposition political parties in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general election to oust the incompetent and pain-inflicting All Progressives Congress, to give Nigerians a new lease of life.”
