Paul Ibe, a Special Adviser to the 2023 People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, leaked the trending resignation letter the former Vice President handed over to his former party.
He made this known while speaking on Arise News recently.
According to Ibe, people like Keyamo, alongside some people in the PDP working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), do not wish the former Vice President well.
When asked about the letter during the interview, he said, “People who never wished his Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar well leaked his communication about quitting the PDP. Oh yes! It was leaked.
“It is unfortunate that the minister of aviation, who rather should be concerned with aviation matters and there are plenty of them, run ways and better infrastructures, would jump into the case like knowing what caused an accident even before the investigation.
“Actually they’re the ones. Gross elements in the PDP, working in cahoots with the APC, leaked the communication and that’s why we’re having this conversation. That’s why I said I would rather we’re talking about something else and not this.”
Atiku’s resignation from the PDP made the rounds on Wednesday almost immediately after he had just paid a condolence visit to the family of late former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State.
Meanwhile, the former Vice President has been in discussion with the newly formed Coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He is expected to contest the ADC’s presidential ticket with the likes of former Rivers State governor, Chibuike Amaechi and the 2023 Labour Party(LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who have all declared they will be vying for the presidency.
