Atiku Resigns from PDP, Says Decision Heart-Breaking
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, with immediate effect.
Abubakar, in his resignation letter dated July 14 and addressed to the PDP Chairman, Jada 1 Ward, Jada LGA of Adamawa, described his decision as heart-breaking, attributing it to the irreconcilable differences within the party.
He appreciated the party for the opportunities given him, saying, “serving two full terms as vice-president of Nigeria and being a presidential candidate twice has been one of the most significant chapters of my life.
“As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heart-breaking for me to make this decision. “However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for.
“It is with a heavy heart that I resign, recognising the irreconcilable differences that have emerged. “I wish the party and its leadership all the best in the future. Thank you once again for the opportunities and support,”Abubakar said
Abubakar is one of the political opposition leaders that recently formed a national coalition, which had adopted African Democratic Congress (ADC).
