Former Nigeria’s Vice President Atiku Abubakar has made it clear that he is firmly in the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as he continues to pursue a coalition of all political parties to kickout the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the center in the 2027 general elections.
Reacting to what he called “unverified information” that he had abandoned the PDP, Atiku said that such rumour is a total fallacy that holds no merit in logic.
Atiku said that he had persistently called for a coalition of opposition political parties in Nigeria “ahead of the 2027 general elections with the aim of ousting the incompetent and pain-inflicting All Progressives Congress, in order to give Nigerians a new lease of life.”
He said that his advocacy for a robust coalition is aimed at bringing into one fold all opposition parties including the PDP.
“Hence, it is fallacious and unfounded to allege that the Waziri is jumping PDP ship. Such an allegation is antithetical to the objective of the grand coalition, which the former Vice President is currently driving alongside other prominent political leaders in the country.
“We, therefore, wish to state unequivocally that Atiku remains a principal bonafide member of the PDP, the main opposition party.
“Any insinuation to the contrary is contrived to confuse Nigerians about the magnitude of the grand coalition that is at work to rescue Nigeria from the grip of the APC.
