The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos declared on Wednesday former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not affect its chances in the 2027 general election.
Atiku, on Wednesday dumped the PDP over the protracted crisis in the party.
The APC spokesman in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, in a statement, said Atiku’s defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would change nothing for the 2027 elections.
He said the development confirmed the PDP’s internal collapse and the ex-Vice President’s continued lack of political consistency.
“Atiku’s actions reflect ambition without principle, not driven by ideology but by relentless personal pursuit,” Oladejo stated.
He stressed that the defection would not boost ADC’s chances or dent APC’s dominance in Lagos or nationwide.
The spokesman added: “Whether PDP, ADC or another, Nigerians remain politically aware and will not be swayed.
“The APC stands as the only party delivering real governance, economic gains, and solid infrastructure.”
He said Atiku’s move allows voters to evaluate the integrity and consistency of those aspiring to lead.
Oladejo reaffirmed APC’s commitment to national unity, sustainable progress, and purposeful leadership.
He encouraged APC loyalists in Lagos to remain united and active at the grassroots for electoral success.
