BREAKING: After leaving APC, Atiku Abubakar joins PDP

Atiku Abubakar has formally joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, more than a week after he dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The former vice-president made the announcement on Facebook within the last hour.

He said the complaints he had with the PDP, under which he was vice-president from 1999-2007, had been resolved, laying the groundwork for his return. Mr. Abubakar is expected to contest the 2019 presidential election.
