Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking a significant shift in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a brief statement on Tuesday, Atiku said his decision was informed by the “trajectory” the party has taken in recent times, suggesting deepening dissatisfaction with the PDP’s internal direction and strategy.
Atiku, a two-time presidential candidate under the PDP, is now a prominent figure in the newly formed opposition coalition seeking to challenge the ruling party in the next electoral cycle.
Further details on his next political move are expected to emerge in the coming days.
