Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dissociated himself from a statement in the social media said to be capable of causing disaffection between him and the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus.
In a statement issued by his media office in Abuja and made available to The Next Edition, the vice president said he enjoyed good relationship with Secondus and other top members of the party.

The statement reads: “It has come to the notice of the Atiku Media Office that there is a statement purportedly attributed to His Excellency Atiku Abubakar currently making the rounds on social media.
“We wish to state for the records that the purported statement aimed at pitching the Waziri Adamawa against the National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, PDP NEC, PDP Governors and stakeholders of the PDP is contrived and baseless.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar enjoys excellent relationship with Prince Uche Secondus, the Party’s NEC and all serving PDP Governors and stakeholders of the party.”
