“Atiku Not Involved In PDP Crisis’ – Aide Claims

Atiku Would Have Done More Of The Same Old, Failed Polices - APC

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has dissociated himself from the ongoing leadership crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his aide confirmed

Amid reports of suspensions and counter-suspensions that drew intervention from the PDP Governors’ Forum, Board of Trustees, and the PDP National Reconciliation Committee, Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shuaibu, stated unequivocally that Atiku was not involved in the party’s disputes.

The PDP has been embroiled in conflicts that many believe stem from long-standing disagreements between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Atiku, although neither was present at the crucial stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday.

With the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting approaching on November 28, there are concerns that the internal strife could intensify.

Responding to inquiries about whether Atiku’s camp was mobilizing legal actions concerning Justice Peter Lifu’s order preventing the removal of the PDP’s acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, Shuaibu described any claims of Atiku’s involvement in the crisis as bizarre.

“Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar believes in due process and he has been focused on how to build the PDP into a more formidable Party and he completely has no hand in any crisis that would rather draw the party backwards.

“It is extremely farfetched and unfair to insinuate that Atiku has any involvement with any individual or group’s plans to brief lawyers and go to court towards vacating Justice Peter Lifu’s judgement,” Shuaibu stressed while speaking with TheNation.
