Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing irreconcilable differences and a deviation from the party’s founding principles. Atiku, a perennial presidential contender, has a long history of switching political parties, and his latest defection comes as Nigeria gears up for the 2027 elections. PDP leaders and chieftains have downplayed the impact of his exit, with many expressing confidence that the party will survive and even predicting Atiku’s eventual return. The move has sparked both criticism and mockery from political opponents and former allies, highlighting ongoing instability and factionalism within Nigeria’s opposition. Atiku’s departure is seen as both a symptom and a catalyst of the broader realignments currently reshaping Nigeria’s political opposition.
