Your favorite news source is here with an exclusive update on the political scene. Former Representative, Tajudeen Yusuf, has made some striking comments about the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, stating that at present, he is no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today, Yusuf shared his views on Atiku's current political standing within the coalition talks, asserting that the potential 2023 presidential candidate is currently engaged in the ongoing political alliance.
While underscoring the importance of moving beyond relying on individual figures to rebuild the PDP's electoral strength, Yusuf, an ally of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, criticized the decision to zone the 2023 presidential ticket to the North.
During the interview, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Atiku and challenged the former Vice President, levying responsibility for the PDP's 2023 presidential election loss onto him. Yusuf stated, "Atiku is out of PDP; he is in the coalition with a lot of people."
