The most significant recent development regarding former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
is his high-profile exit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Departure from the PDP
In July 2025, Atiku officially resigned from the PDP, citing "irreconcilable differences" and a belief that the party had moved away from its founding principles. This marked his third major exit from the party he co-founded in 1998
New Political Alliance (ADC)
Following his resignation, Atiku joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This move is part of a broader strategic realignment aimed at the 2027 general elections. He is reportedly leading a coalition that includes other prominent figures like Peter Obi and Nasir El-Rufai
2027 Presidential Ambition
Despite past losses, Atiku has firmly declared his intention to contest the Nigerian presidency again in 2027.
- No Stepping Down: He has publicly ruled out stepping down for any other candidate, stating that his motivation is rooted in the interest of the country rather than personal ambition.
- Electoral Reform: In late 2025, he renewed calls for comprehensive electoral reforms to be implemented before the next election cycle.
