Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice-President, on Sunday dismissed reports that he is responsible for the leadership crisis currently rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The embattled factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has in a veiled manner accused Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and a former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, of plotting to hand the party’s ticket to a prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sheriff alleged that the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 elections is the main cause of the current crisis tearing the party apart, its embattled National Chairman Senator Ali Modu Sheriff said yesterday.
He said: “Wike and Secondus are working to give the party ticket in 2019 to a man in APC, a man that is not even bold enough to leave the APC and join us. He was in the PDP before. He was a founding father of the PDP.
“I don’t have to mention him. Secondus himself told me that he and Wike always meet this man to strategise plans on 2019. I told him that it is wrong. If the man is bold enough, let him come and join us now."
The said APC chieftain many believed Sheriff pointing finger at is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

A terse statement on his official Twitter handle, @Atiku, read:
Dear @IndependentNGR, Former VP @atiku has no hand in PDP crisis.— Atiku Media Office (@AtikuOrg) August 21, 2016
Atiku had served as the country’s vice president under the platform of the PDP for eight years. In 2013, he decamped to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and in 2015 contested for the APC presidential ticket which he lost to President Muhammadu Buhari.
But reacting to the unconfirmed report that he is behind the disquiet in the PDP, Atiku denied any involvement.
