The development was disclosed in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by political commentator @imranmohammad on Wednesday.

Atiku, a seasoned politician and five-time presidential contender, has been a towering figure in the PDP since its formation. He served as Nigeria’s Vice President from 1999 to 2007 under the PDP platform and contested for the presidency on the party’s ticket in both the 2019 and 2023 general elections.

His resignation is expected to send ripples through the Nigerian political landscape as speculations mount over his next political move.
