The People’s Democratic Party's (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has resigned from the party. 


Atiku, in his resignation letter dated July 14, and addressed to the PDP chairman of Jada 1 ward in Adamawa State, cited "irreconcilable differences" and a deviation from the party's founding principles as reasons for his departure, although he expressed gratitude for the opportunities he had in the PDP, highlighting his two terms as Vice President and two presidential runs.


Atiku's resignation is expected to impact Nigeria's political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections, and there have been speculations about his potential involvement in a coalition with other opposition parties. 


Atiku concluded his letter by wishing the PDP and its leadership well in the future.
