According to Paul Ibe, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s communications adviser, his principal’s resignation letter from the Peoples Democratic Party was leaked.
On Wednesday, the letter of resignation from Abubakar, dated July 14, appeared online.
The minister of aviation and aerospace development, Festus Keyamo, had criticized Atiku for releasing the resignation letter while the country was in mourning for former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari, who passed away at a clinic in London, UK, on Sunday, was laid to rest in Daura, Katsina state, on Tuesday.
A seven-day national mourning period was proclaimed by President Bola Tinubu in Buhari’s honor.
Additionally, Keyamo criticized Atiku for announcing his resignation from the opposition party on letterhead bearing the party’s coat of arms, claiming the former vice president is not an official of the government.
Speaking on Arise Television’s News Night on Wednesday, Ibe said that “rogue elements” within the PDP were responsible for the resignation letter’s disclosure.

“A communication of his was leaked by those who never wished his excellency Atiku Abubakar well,” Ibe stated, alluding to the letter.
Runways and improved infrastructure are just two examples of the many aviation-related issues that the minister of aviation should be focused on, so it’s regrettable that he would get involved.
It’s similar to knowing what led to an accident before the inquiry was conducted.
We’re having this discussion because that communication was released by rogue PDP components who were conspiring with APC members.
The opposition group, which has chosen the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform for the 2027 elections, includes Atiku, who is planning to run for president.
