I’ll Provide Security, Revamp Lake Chad Basin, Reduce Taxation— Atiku Says As PDP Hosts Massive Rally In Borno.

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has reiterated his commitment to fight insecurity in Borno state and the entire country if voted into power in the 2023 polls.

He also promised to reduce taxation, and revamp the Lake Chad basin to support agricultural farm produce in Borno state.

Atiku stated these while speaking at the PDP presidential campaign rally in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The former Nigerian Vice President, who spoke majorly in Hausa told PDP supporters in Maiduguri that the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Garba requested things which include oil exploration, security, water supply, agriculture and education which he told the monarch that of PDP gets elected in 2023, he would ensure the five requests are granted.

He said, “When we arrived Borno, we visited The Shehu of Borno who requested us five things and we have promised that if we get elected as President, we shall fulfill our promises.”

Atiku noted that “In the Shehu of Borno’s speech, he asked for three to four things and I, in my capacity as Zannah Santa of Borno, I’ve promised that if Nigerians elected me, I’ll do them in Borno by God’s grace. First, he said he wants us to revive the Chad Basin Authority. When I was working in Borno, it was working fully and provided employment opportunities. Secondly, he asked me to bring back the peaceful atmosphere in the state.”

“You can’t achieve anything without peace and I’m promising to restore peace because there’s no reason why there should be security issues in Borno at a time like this,” he noted.

Earlier the woman leader of PDP urged Borno women to vote massively for Atiku in the 2023 presidential election.

She said, “Tell your husbands, brothers, sisters, friends and children to vote for Atiku in the election next year.”

Chairman, Ovation Media Group and a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dele Momodu, has resigned his membership of the party.

Momodu announced his membership via a letter dated July 17, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman, PDP Ward 4, Ihievbe, Owen East Local Government Area, Edo State.

The veteran journalist said he was resigning because the party has been ‘unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces from within and outside in broad daylight’.

He insisted that “it is therefore, honorable to abandon the carcass to them while the majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as African Democratic Congress (ADC).”

He thanked the PDP for the opportunity and support he received ‘at all times’.

Momodu’s resignation from the PDP came barely 24hours after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar dumped the party.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ending a decades-long relationship with the opposition party he co-founded.

The resignation was confirmed in a letter dated Monday, July 14, and addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Jada 1 Ward, Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State. A copy of the letter was shared publicly on Wednesday by Atiku’s media aide.

Atiku, who was the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, stated that his decision to leave the party came after reflection on the current direction of the PDP, which he said no longer aligns with its founding values.

The letter read, “I am writing to formally resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the opportunities I have been given by the party.

“Serving two full terms as Vice President of Nigeria and being a presidential candidate twice has been one of the most significant chapters of my life.

“As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.

“However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for. It is with a heavy heart that I resign, recognising the irreconcilable differences that have emerged.

“I wish the party and its leadership all the best in the future. Thank you once again for the opportunities and support.”
