Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has said he’s not concerned about the defection of his 2023 running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Atiku made it clear that he remains firmly with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is not leaving the party.

In a statement through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku emphasized that it’s undemocratic to hold grudges over someone’s choice of political affiliation. “Atiku bears no ill will,” Ibe said. “As a democrat, he believes in the freedom of association, a fundamental pillar of democracy.”

Ibe also reassured the public that Atiku is committed to the PDP and has no plans to join any other political party. “Atiku is not leaving the PDP, as he has clearly stated before,” Ibe added, dismissing rumors suggesting otherwise.

Meanwhile, Okowa recently expressed regret over his decision to run as Atiku’s vice-presidential candidate in 2023, revealing that it went against the wishes of his people. He had acknowledged during the campaign that his constituents were not keen on electing another northerner to power. Okowa also voiced support for President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that he should be allowed to serve two terms to ensure national stability.
