Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has firmly denied recent rumors suggesting his resignation from the People's Democratic Party (PDP). In a statement released on April 4, 2025, by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku labeled these reports as "malicious lies" and a "political hatchet job" aimed at misleading the public.

The false claims originated from a Facebook page named "Adamawa Happenings," which alleged that Atiku had exited the PDP. Addressing these assertions, Paul Ibe emphasized that Atiku remains a "steadfast, bona fide, and loyal member" of the party. He urged supporters and the general public to disregard the misinformation, attributing it to "faceless social media platforms" and "desperate political operatives" intent on causing mischief.
Atiku's commitment to the PDP has been consistent, especially following the 2023 general elections where he was the party's presidential candidate. Despite the election's outcome, he has continued to be an active and vocal member of the opposition, advocating for unity within the party and among other opposition groups. In recent statements, he has called for a coalition of opposition parties to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Regarding his potential candidacy in the 2027 presidential race, Atiku has expressed uncertainty. In an interview reported by Daily Trust, he stated, "I don't know if I will run." This indicates that while he remains engaged in political activities, he has not made a definitive decision about contesting in the next election.
The circulation of such unfounded rumors highlights the challenges political figures face with misinformation, especially on social media platforms. Atiku's prompt response aims to clarify his position and reaffirm his dedication to the PDP and its objectives.
