Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has officially resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Atiku, who recently joined the coalition under ADC to unseat President Tinubu in 2027, officially resigned from PDP through a letter of resignation dated July 14th.
In the letter addressed to the Chairman PDP, Jada 1 Ward, Jada LGA, Adamawa State, Atiku said he find it necessary to part ways with PDP due to the current trajectory the Party has taken, which he believe diverges from the foundational principles the party stood for.
He, however, expressed gratitude for the party, for giving him the opportunity to serve as a vice president.
The letter read:
“I am writing to formally resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the opportunities I have been given by the Party.
“Serving two full terms as Vice President of Nigeria and being a Presidential candidate twice has been one of the most significant chapters of my life. As a founding father of this esteemed Party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.
“However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the Party has taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for. It is with a heavy heart that I resign, recognizing the irreconcilable differences that have emerged.
“I wish the Party and its leadership all the best in the future. Thank you once again for the opportunities and support.
Sincerely,
Atiku Abubakar, GCON
Waziri Adamawa
