Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has denied reports of defecting from the party.
Atiku said reports of his defecting from the PDP were part of efforts to confuse the coalition in process.
Lately, there have been speculation reports of Atiku finalizing plans to defect from the PDP to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
However, Atiku’s media office insisted that the former Vice President is a bonafide member of the PDP.
A statement by his media office noted that they are aware that some news platforms are peddling unverified information that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is abandoning the Peoples Democratic Party.
The statement stressed that the defection claims were an attempt to confuse Nigerians about the magnitude of the grand coalition that is at work to rescue Nigeria from the grip of the APC, adding that coalition would accommodate all opposition parties, including the PDP.
