Atiku’s PDP Resignation Letter Was Leaked – Spokesman by Putindbutt(op): 12:07pm On Jul 17, 2025
Paul Ibe, Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said that the letter announcing his principal’s resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party was leaked.

Ibe stated this during an interview on Wednesday night on Arise News, while reacting to the controversy surrounding the timing of Atiku’s exit from the PDP, which coincided with the nation’s mourning of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who was buried on Tuesday.

Ibe claimed that individuals opposed to Atiku’s political ambition, including some members within the PDP and their allies in the All Progressives Congres orchestrated the leak and not voluntarily released.

“We’re here because people who never wished His Excellency Atiku Abubakar well leaked a communication of his. Yes, it was leaked,” Ibe stated.

He further criticised the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, for commenting on the matter, accusing him of abandoning pressing aviation challenges.

“It’s unfortunate that the Minister of Aviation, who rather should be concerned with serious issues of aviation matters and there are plenty of them, like runways and better infrastructure, jumped into this fray as though knowing what caused an accident even before investigation,” Ibe said.

He insisted that the leak resulted from “rogue elements in the PDP working in cahoots with APC members,” stressing that the matter should not overshadow national reflection over Buhari’s death.

“Those who claim to know why he resigned, are they clairvoyants? I would rather say we speak on something else and not this particular issue, considering the fact that the nation is still in mourning and the memories of the late President, Muhammadu Buhari, who was just interred yesterday, are still fresh,” he said.


Atiku formally resigned from the PDP via a letter dated July 14, 2025, submitted to his local ward chairman in Adamawa State and shared publicly by his media aide on X.

In the letter, he cited “irreconcilable differences” and noted his disappointment with the party’s current trajectory, which he believes has strayed from its founding principles.

These guys are liars and nothing good can come out of them .
So they leaked the resignation letter carrying Monday’s date Abi
Perhaps, it was Ibe that leaked it

What about the illegal use of coat of arm ? Atiku is clearly obsessed with becoming the Nigerian president . A position he’d never attain

Politicians and lies are like bread and butter
But if true then, Atiku wouldn't be contesting against Tinubu alone but will be up against his close staffs and allies too and that could be dangerous

Doesn't make any difference ... leaked or not.

Those who leaked the letter are already jubilating

Atiku’s Exit Is Answered Prayer, We Must Do Thanksgiving’ – Adamawa PDP Jubilates

Members of the Adamawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are celebrating the departure of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, from the party.

the state party chairman, Tahir Shehu, in an interview with Punch on Wednesday in Yola, the state capital, said several party leaders view Atiku’s exit as a positive development and a major boost for the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Shehu said Adamawa State is the home state of the PDP, and Atiku’s departure carries no political setback for the party, given the overwhelming support it enjoyed from the people.

He noted that following the previous crisis, the PDP successfully regained its mandate in 2019 and remained firmly in control under Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, making it unbeatable in the 2027 elections.

He stated, “Adamawa State is the home state of PDP, Atiku himself won governorship election in 1999 on the platform of the party, it was based on that he was elevated to the position of Vice President.

“The only time PDP lost the state was under President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, when a candidate was selected in Abuja, so we rejected it at the poll to prove that Adamawa voters are not based in Abuja.”


Similarly, a prominent party chieftain from Michika Local Government Area, Luka Tumba, described Atiku’s exit as their answered prayer, adding that the former Vice President has always been unstable during elections.

He said, “He has been an obstacle to the party during election time; the Adamawa people have not seen his political relevance from the days he was vice president and now.

“The road from Mayo-Belwa to his hometown Jada was constructed by late former President Muhammadu Buhari, but he has his private businesses across the world, we must do thanksgiving for God answering our prayers for Atiku’s timely exit.”

Well I am not surprised Adamawa PDP are celebrating his exit as good radiance to bad rubbish. The Governor is gradually demystifying him in Adamawa, just as Elrufai is being ragdolled in Kaduna. They are political IDPs in their states.
Without ignoring Atiku's scorecard, PDP knew he did nothing in his state, no even the road connecting his hometown.

-Kiss the truth!

He never denied that Atiku wrote the letter or that Atiku has left the PDP ,what he is saying is that it wasn't made public by Atiku ,it was some elements in PDP that brought it to the the public . Yes Atiku has resigned from the pdp ,but the timing of the letter is what the man was taking about that PDP should never have made it public at a time Buhari was been buried .
Most likely Atiku had planned a press conference for after the burial of Buhari to publicly make his resignation from PDP public

grin grin grin

GMB died on the 13th of July.
The resignation letter was written on the 14th of July and acknowledged by the Ward Chairman on the very same day.

He shouldn't have submitted the letter in the first place.

Make it make sense!

He wrote the letter, and submitted it to PDP.
How did they get access to the letter if he didn't submit it.
If there's any leak at all if came from his staff who have access to his computer or office.
He never expected any form of backlash..
