BREAKING NEWS: Atiku Abubakar Resigns from PDP
As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.

Atiku Abubakar, Vice President 1999 -2007/ PDP presidential flag bearer in the 2023 election , on Wednesday, resigned his membership of the People’s Democratic Party.
Atiku declared his membership resignation in a letter dated Tuesday, July 14, 2025, addressed to the Chairman of PDP Jada 1 , Jada LGA, Adamawa.
It reads:
“I write to formally resign my membership of the PDP with immediate effect.I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the opportunities I have been given by the party, to served two 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 heartbreaking 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 which we stood for.It is with a heavy heart that I resigned, recognizing the irreconcilable differences that have emerged.
I wish the party and its leadership all the best in the future.”
