BREAKING: Atiku Officially Resigns From PDP

In a major political development, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter dated July 14, 2025, addressed to the PDP Chairman of Jada 1 Ward in Adamawa State, Atiku announced his departure from the party with immediate effect, citing “irreconcilable differences” and a divergence from the party’s founding principles.

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

The former Vice President, who served from 1999 to 2007, expressed gratitude for the opportunities the party gave him — including his two terms in office and two presidential candidacies — calling them “significant chapters” of his life.

The resignation was formally received and acknowledged on July 14, 2025, by Hammasauma Abubakar, confirming the authenticity of the move.

It reads in full: “I am writing to formally resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the opportunities I have been given by the Party. 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. As a founding father of this esteemed Party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.

“However, 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. 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.”
