The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has refuted claims suggesting his departure from the party, denouncing the reports as “pure mischief, devoid of truth.”
In a statement posted on [X platform], Atiku reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to the PDP while urging for the swift merger of opposition parties.
The former vice president criticized President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of prioritizing personal agendas over national governance.

Atiku called on Tinubu to halt his “bumbling escapades” and focus on the welfare of Nigerians, stating, “His myopic focus on 2027 betrays a disregard for the pressing needs of the populace.”
Atiku’s media team is reportedly vigorously countering Tinubu’s “baseless claims,” with the politician emphasizing the importance of effective governance over the pursuit of power.
He concluded by calling on Nigerians to unite and move the country forward, leaving behind the actions of what he described as “political charlatans.”
