“The reason being that those ideals that attracted me to the party have since receded into oblivion leaving me with no option but to leave and find another party that will afford me ample opportunity to operate maximally and contribute to national development.
“I am therefore wishing you all well as you continue to work hard to eke out a living in the best way possible under the present circumstances. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation so far.”
The former senator, on the other hand, chose not to reveal his future political plans.
Why PDP may expel Atiku, former Vice President’s aide gives reason
In another report, Umar Ardo, a former aide to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, believes the political career of his former boss is over.
He stated that Atiku may be expelled as a card-carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if he refuses to drop his presidential ambition.
Ardo said the body language of the PDP governors towards Atiku is a clear testament that he's no longer wanted in the party.
