The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed the exit of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

It said Atiku’s decision poses no threat to its political dominance.
The spokesman of the party in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, said this on Wednesday in a statement, stressing that Atiku’s possible defection to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, changes nothing for the 2027 elections.

DAILY POST reports that Atiku resigned from the PDP on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences within the party.

The ex-Vice President had shown growing frustration with the party’s post-election disarray and inability to provide effective opposition.

It will be recalled that his coalition recently adopted the party as its 2027 electoral platform.

His resignation signals readiness to solidify ties with the ADC ahead of the upcoming general elections.

Reacting, Oladejo described Atiku’s exit from PDP as a desperate, yet unsurprising, move reflecting a fractured opposition.

According to him, the development confirms the PDP’s internal collapse and Atiku’s continued lack of political consistency.

“Atiku’s actions reflect ambition without principle, not driven by ideology but by relentless personal pursuit.

“Whether PDP, ADC or another, Nigerians remain politically aware and will not be swayed.

“The APC stands as the only party delivering real governance, economic gains, and solid infrastructure,” Oladejo stated.
