Atiku left the PDP over growing concerns about the party’s direction. According to him, the party no longer represents the vision it once stood for. His departure follows months of tension within the party, marked by internal disagreements, unresolved disputes, and dissatisfaction with how decisions are made at the top.

The move did not happen in isolation. Atiku has now aligned himself with a new political coalition operating under the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The group brings together influential figures from across the country, including Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, David Mark, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola. Together, they plan to offer Nigerians an alternative political path ahead of the 2027 elections.

This alliance has been quietly forming behind the scenes through a series of private meetings and consultations. The coalition aims to challenge both the PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), claiming to offer fresh ideas and solutions to Nigeria’s problems. With key political players on board, the group is expected to influence the next general election.

Atiku’s resignation comes at a time when voter confidence in mainstream parties is dropping. Many citizens have expressed frustration over the state of the country, and this new coalition is hoping to tap into that desire for change. While Atiku has not formally declared his next political ambition, his presence in the group signals that he may remain an active player in national politics.

The PDP is yet to make an official statement on Atiku’s resignation, but the development is likely to cause ripples within the party. His exit also raises questions about the PDP’s strategy heading into 2027 and whether it can maintain its relevance without one of its most experienced members.

The coming months will show how strong this new alliance really is. For now, Atiku’s departure marks a turning point — not just for his political career, but possibly for the shape of Nigeria’s next election.
