I’m not leaving PDP, no grudge over Okowa’s defection – Atiku
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar says he is not bothered by the defection of his running mate in the 2023 presidential election, Ifeanyi Okowa, to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, stating that he is not leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

“Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, bears no grudges; he has said that, and he means it.
According to him, the former Vice-President remains committed to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and has no plans to join another party.
“We have addressed the issues about coalition, and remember that we had a statement to that effect; Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is not leaving the PDP, and he has said that clearly.
“Even when we were campaigning, I realised our people were not interested in having another northerner come into power,” Okowa had said.
“For the stability of this nation, I also do believe that, yes, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected president in 2023, and for the stability of Nigeria, it is best for us to have him complete his eight-year tenure, then the presidency can move back to the North,” he said.
