Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking the end of a decades-long affiliation with the main opposition party. Atiku made his decision known in a formal letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Jada 1 Ward in Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
In the letter, Atiku expressed deep appreciation for the opportunities the party had given him over the years, including serving two terms as Vice President and twice emerging as the PDP’s presidential candidate.
“I am writing to formally resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect,” he stated. “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. I remain grateful for these experiences.”
The former Vice President, who is also a founding member of the PDP, noted that the party’s current direction no longer aligns with its founding values. “It is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision,” he wrote, “but I find it necessary due to the trajectory the Party has taken, which I believe diverges from the principles we once stood for.”
Describing the differences as irreconcilable, Atiku concluded by wishing the PDP and its leadership success in the future. “Thank you once again for the opportunities and support,” he added.
