Atiku said via a statement on Tuesday, March 10, that his commitment to the APC is unwavering.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has denied reports that he is planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The former VP also described reports of his purported defection as the work of mischief makers.

"I remain irrevocably committed to the APC, as I promised in my concession speech at the conclusion of our party's presidential primaries, and has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the victory of General Muhammadu Buhari and other candidates of our great party at the general elections," the statement reads.

"I have backed my words and commitment with my resources to ensure that I bring my influence and support to bear on our party's march to victory at all levels in the general election. That should be enough to shut up mischief makers bent on derailing the APC's success at the March 28 and April elections," he added.

Atiku, who was an APC Presidential aspirant, had previously shuttled between both parties and his defeat at the primaries in December 2014 gave rise to expectations that he would defect yet again.
