Angry Atiku Blames Tinubu For Report Of His ‘Defection From PDP’

Atiku Abubakar has blamed President Bola Tinubu and those he described as his handlers for the news report that the former vice-president is set to defect the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for a new mega party.

Rebutting the claim in a tersely worded statement on Tuesday, Atiku said that it was unfortunate that President Tinubu would in the face of serious issues facing the nation in the security and economic arena find time for such acts of political mischief as the report that he would defect from the PDP.

Affirming his loyalty to the PDP in the context of seeking relevance within the larger opposition to confront the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Atiku while reassuring his followers that he had no plan to defect from the PDP, said:

“In a blatant display of political mischief, Bola Tinubu and his lackeys have shamelessly peddled false reports suggesting Atiku Abubakar’s imminent departure from the PDP. This malicious attempt to sow discord and confusion among the populace cannot go unchallenged.

“Let it be known to all, especially the esteemed supporters of Atiku Abubakar, that the so-called “report” in The Nation newspapers is nothing but a pitiful attempt to deflect attention from the pressing issues plaguing our nation.

“At a time when insecurity, poverty, and failed policies threaten the very fabric of our society, Tinubu and his cohorts would rather engage in cheap political theatrics than address the real challenges facing Nigerians.

“Despite their nefarious machinations, Atiku remains steadfast in his commitment to the PDP and the vital process of opposition party merger. He unequivocally condemns Tinubu’s attempts to undermine democracy and calls for swift action to unite opposition forces against the tyrannical grip of the APC.

“Let there be no doubt: Atiku Abubakar is unwavering in his dedication to the PDP and the fight for a better Nigeria. As he urges the current administration to prioritize governance over petty politicking, let us stand united against the forces of corruption and oppression. The time for action is now, and Atiku will not rest until justice prevails and the voice of the people is heard.”
