Former Vice President and the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has formally withdrawn his membership from the opposition party.
Atiku’s resignation was made public on Wednesday following a letter dated July 14, 2025, which he addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Jada 1 Ward, Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The letter was also shared on social media by his Special Assistant on Media.
The development comes amid growing speculation about his involvement in the formation of a new coalition party, the Alliance Democratic Congress (ADC), ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In the resignation letter, Atiku cited the party’s deviation from its founding ideals as the reason for his departure. He expressed deep appreciation for the opportunities the PDP had given him, including serving two terms as Vice President and twice contesting as the party’s presidential candidate.
“As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision,” the letter read in part.
“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.”
Atiku concluded the letter by extending his best wishes to the PDP and its leadership in their future endeavors.
