Former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has denied media reports insinuating that he is leaving the PDP to form a mega political party.
Writing on his X page, Atiku described the reports as baseless and a fabrication.
He said, “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 @OfficialPDPNig.
“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.
Atiku accused President Bola Tinubu of pursuing a personal agenda at the expense of the welfare of the Nigerian people.
“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,” Atiku said.
He added that his media team is working vigorously to counter the ‘baseless claims.’
