Atiku urges supporters to trust in God amidst PDP crisis
In a recent statement, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has emphasized that the ability to grant power lies solely in the hands of God Almighty, amid the ongoing crisis within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku expressed his belief that no human has the authority to bestow political power upon others, urging his supporters to trust in divine guidance amidst the current political turmoil.
Atiku’s declaration came on the heels of the ongoing controversy trailing the outcome of the 98th National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party held in Abuja on Thursday.
The 2023 PDP presidential standard-bearer’s position was contained in a WhatsApp group chat with some of his supporters in the country on Friday.
According to the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the party, among its intra-party resolutions made on Thursday, had approved the reconstitution of its Disciplinary and Reconciliation Committees to further ensure its stability.

Among the key decisions made at the NEC meeting, the party also appointed former Akwa-Ibom State governor, Emmanuel Udom, as the head of its Disciplinary Committee, while former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, remains the head of its Reconciliation committee.
But Atiku told his supporters in the Whatsapp group after the NEC meeting that only God gives power.
His reaction follows insinuations by his supporters that he has been betrayed by some elements within the party.
The former vice president, who had contested six different times to become Nigeria’s president, but failed, said, “There is God. It is God that gives power, not anybody.”
Responding, one of his supporters on the social media group, said, “This is very true, Sir and this same God will answer your heart desires and ours too.
“When the day comes, we shall all be alive to celebrate together as one big family of good faith.
“All our hand work will not go to waste, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. We shall all walk and work together to witness the night. Victory shall be ours. It is well with you, Sir.”
