Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has denied reports that he is planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku said via a statement on Tuesday, March 10, that his commitment to the APC is unwavering.
The former VP also described reports of his purported defection as the work of mischief makers.
"I
remain irrevocably committed to the APC, as I promised in my concession
speech at the conclusion of our party's presidential primaries, and has
been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the victory of
General Muhammadu Buhari and other candidates of our great party at the
general elections," the statement reads.
"I
have backed my words and commitment with my resources to ensure that I
bring my influence and support to bear on our party's march to victory
at all levels in the general election. That should be enough to shut up
mischief makers bent on derailing the APC's success at the March 28 and
April elections," he added.
Atiku, who was an
APC Presidential aspirant, had previously shuttled between both parties
and his defeat at the primaries in December 2014 gave rise to
expectations that he would defect yet again.
