Atiku slams resignation rumours as “fake news,” says he remains loyal to the PDP.
NAIJANEWS
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied rumours suggesting he resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing the reports as “a malicious lie.”
In a statement signed by his media aide, Paul Ibe, on Friday, Atiku reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP and labelled the circulating claims as the work of “desperate political operatives.”
“We ordinarily would not waste words on faceless social media platforms like the so-called ‘Adamawa Happenings,’” the statement read. “However, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar… has not — we repeat, has not — resigned from the PDP.”
He maintained that the rumour was part of a “crude, shameless political hatchet job” aimed at misleading the public and sowing confusion.
Atiku urged his supporters to disregard the story, reiterating that he remains “a steadfast, bona fide, and loyal member of the party” and committed to Nigeria’s democratic ideals.
