Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied reports claiming he is planning to step away from politics, describing the information as false and misleading.
In a statement shared by his media aide, Atiku said the rumours circulating on social media about him retiring after meeting with ADC stakeholders are completely untrue.
He clarified that he has not held any recent meeting with national leaders of the African Democratic Congress.
According to him, his only recent interaction with the party was with stakeholders in Adamawa State.
Atiku stressed that a decision as important as leaving politics would never be announced through rumours or unofficial sources.
He said such a move, if it ever happens, would come directly from his official media office.
He also suggested that the claims are part of a deliberate attempt to spread confusion and slow down the growing momentum within the opposition.
According to him, those behind the rumours may be uncomfortable with the current political direction and are trying to mislead the public.
Atiku urged his supporters and Nigerians in general to ignore the reports and stay focused, insisting that he remains active and committed to the political process.
