In a political move set to reshape Nigeria’s opposition landscape, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially announced his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), signaling a new chapter in the nation’s political evolution.
Addressing supporters and coalition partners, Atiku declared:
“Atiku, my supporters, and I have officially departed from the PDP and are fully committed to advancing the coalition’s vision.”
He expressed gratitude to the PDP for the years of shared struggles and political experiences, but emphasized that the time has come for a broader, united front to salvage the nation.
“We thank the PDP for the time shared and the experiences gained,” he noted, adding that the mission ahead requires fresh energy and nationalistic focus.
The meeting concluded with a strong rallying cry to all loyal PDP members, progressives, and patriotic Nigerians across party lines to unite under the coalition’s banner.
“This is a call to duty,” a source at the meeting said. “The coalition is not just a merger — it is a mission to restore hope, integrity, and purpose to Nigeria’s democracy.”
As speculation swirls about the next political steps and leadership roles within the coalition, one thing is clear — the 2027 race has just taken a dramatic turn.
