Atiku denies dumping PDP, slams Tinubu
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has denied reports that he has dumped the party.
Atiku dismissed the report as a baseless fabrication, emphasising his unwavering loyalty to the PDP.
According to a statement by Atiku on his X account on Tuesday, he stated that claims that he has left the PDP were false and from mischief-makers.
He wrote: “I have been inundated with calls from our party members, supporters, and concerned Nigerians regarding the fabricated story in The Nation, Tinubu’s ragtag, alleging my departure from the

“Let me be unequivocal: this is pure mischief, devoid of truth. I reaffirm my unwavering loyalty to the PDP while advocating the swift merger of opposition parties. The urgency of this consolidation cannot be overstated.
He criticised President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of prioritising personal ambitions over the welfare of the nation.
Atiku also disclosed that his media team is actively working to counter the false claim that he is leaving the PDP.
“Tinubu’s relentless pursuit of personal agendas at the expense of national governance is glaring. His myopic focus on 2027 betrays a disregard for the pressing needs of the populace. It’s high time he ceased his bumbling escapades and prioritised the welfare of the people.
“My media team is vigorously countering his baseless claims. Let this be a wake-up call to all: the pursuit of power must not overshadow the imperative of effective governance. Together, let us propel Nigeria forward, leaving behind the antics of political charlatans.”
