Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dismissed speculation that he was planning to dump the All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Movement to realise his presidential ambition.
According to a source, the former Vice President stated in a meeting with stakeholders in the media in Lagos last month that the APC is his "final bus stop".
"That proclamation still stands. Atiku Abubakar does not intend to leave the APC for the PDM or any other party," the statement said.
The former vice president was reacting to a newspaper publication suggesting that he was plotting to leave the APC.
"Atiku Abubakar believes in the 'Change' message of the APC. He believes that the party is the force that will enable Nigerians to vote the PDP out of power come 2015. He believes that APC is progress."
"This change and progress that Nigerians hope for will include a media which can be relied upon to provide the public with factual, unbiased information–without being swayed by the unscrupulous dictates of anyone who can afford to pay for their services.
"This message of change is consistent with Atiku Abubakar's campaign slogan: 'A Nigeria for All'."
Describing the publication as egregiously false, Atiku said it should be discountenanced by all Nigerians.
