The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has denied defecting from the party.

Atiku described himself as an honest and loyal member of the PDP.

Desperate politicians, he said, were spreading the untruth on a Facebook page.

In a statement signed by his media aide Paul Ibe, Atiku called the accusation a wicked lie and a political hatchet job.

The statement read: “We ordinarily would not waste words on faceless social media platforms like the so-called ‘Adamawa Happenings.’ However, in light of inquiries from concerned Nigerians and credible members of the press, we are compelled to set the record straight: His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria (1999–2007) and Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has not — we repeat, has not — resigned from the PDP. He remains a steadfast, bona fide, and loyal member of the party.

“The source of this baseless rumour is a Facebook page peddling falsehoods, evidently orchestrated by desperate political operatives with nothing but mischief and confusion on their agenda. It is a calculated attempt to mislead the public and sow discord among the millions of Nigerians who look to Atiku Abubakar for direction and leadership. This is not just fake news — it is a crude, shameless political hatchet job.

“We urge Nigerians, especially supporters of the Waziri Adamawa, to disregard this malicious fabrication. It is a vile, vexatious ploy that deserves nothing but contempt.

“Atiku Abubakar remains committed to the ideals of the PDP and to the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people.”
