Atiku formally introduced his exit from the PDP earlier on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable variations throughout the get together and frustration with its post-election disunity.
His camp had lately aligned with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which is anticipated to function his political platform for the 2027 polls.
Oladejo, nevertheless, dismissed the impression of Atiku’s subsequent political transfer, saying, “The APC stands as the one get together delivering actual governance, {economic} good points, and stable infrastructure.”
