Atiku Explains His Reasons For Leaving PDP

Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president of Nigeria, announced his departure from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), citing irreconcilable differences and a change in the party’s core values.

On July 14, 2025, Atiku formally resigned from the PDP with immediate effect in a letter to the chairman of the Jada 1 Ward in Adamawa State.

“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,” he wrote. “As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.”

“I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the Party has taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for,” he added.

“It is with a heavy heart that I resign, recognizing the irreconcilable differences that have emerged.”

“I wish the Party and its leadership all the best in the future. Thank you once again for the opportunities and support,” he concluded.

The letter was officially acknowledged and received by Hammardama Abubakar on July 14, 2025.
