The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to Atiku Abubakar’s resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying it poses no threat to its political dominance. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Atiku resigned from the PDP on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences within the party.
APC’s Lagos spokesman, Mr. Seye Oladejo, in a statement, described Atiku’s exit from PDP as a desperate move reflecting a fractured opposition. “Atiku’s actions reflect ambition without principle, not driven by ideology but by relentless personal pursuit,” Oladejo stated, as quoted by NAN.
Oladejo stressed that Atiku’s possible defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) changes nothing for the 2027 elections. “Whether PDP, ADC or another, Nigerians remain politically aware and will not be swayed, the APC stands as the only party delivering real governance, economic gains, and solid infrastructure,” he said
The APC spokesman reaffirmed the party’s commitment to national unity, sustainable progress, and purposeful leadership. He encouraged APC loyalists in Lagos to remain united and active at the grassroots for electoral success. “Victory depends on our unity, past performance, and focus on people-centred development,” Oladejo said.
Oladejo also criticized Atiku’s political consistency, saying, “Nigerians deserve visionary leadership, not theatrical comebacks. APC is prepared to lead and win.”
