ABUJA—FORMER Vice President Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, announced his resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, citing irreconcilable differences and a shift in the party’s direction from its founding principles.
However, the former Vice President, in a letter dated July 14, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of PDP Jada 1 Ward in Adamawa State, formally terminated his membership of the party with immediate effect.
Atiku, who served as Vice President from 1999 to 2007, expressed deep gratitude for the opportunities the party afforded him, including running twice as its presidential candidate.
In addition, he said his decision was driven by what he described as the party’s departure from its core values.
