Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar this morning announced his resignation from the ruling All Progressives Congress as the 2019 General elections draw nearer.
His decision has no doubt elicited nationwide reactions especially on the social media space.
Breaking: Atiku Dumps APC, Plots Next Move
Although Atiku left little or nothing to suggest he would defect to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party, Nigerians are already doing the permutations for him.
Below are some of the reactions to his resignation from APC;
It’s going to be a very busy transfer window.
Obanikoro has moved for a record breaking fee
Atiku is returning to his boyhood club. https://t.co/g6M4ig2cPZ— Ebube D Statesman (@akaebube) November 24, 2017
“I will never contest for Presidency again.” – @MBuhari (2011)
“I will not leave APC.” – @atiku (2014)
If you took the former seriously & campaigned/voted for him, you cannot validly condemn the latter for leaving APC

As my friend once said “Atiku’s Presidential ambition is an economy on its own. If he stops running, many will lose their source of income.” https://t.co/rXx4EttXuk

Atiku to PDP, Obanikoro to APC. But your favourite analysts are still swearing by political parties.
Abeg, don’t let anyone deceive you with ‘choose a side’ rhetoric in 2019. The only real demarcation is between ordinary Nigerians and the political class.

Sule Lamido now needs to step up his game. No one knows his views on economics and restructuring.
He’ll give Buhari a good fight up North. But down South, Atiku seems to be more popular.
Either way, 2019 politics season has started. Governance is over. Buhari’s 1st term is over.— Gege (@nigeriasbest) November 24, 2017
Both Atiku&Buhari have run for president in 3 different parties. You can’t read much into these defections except that parties don’t matter

Atiku has gone back ‘home’ as expected. Obanikoro has also ported back to the APC as expected. Interesting days ahead.

How can @atiku re-decamp to PDP be a news
Is it not normal for molue to leave Oshodi to Agege and return to Oshodi?— #ChangeHasCome (@ChangeHasComee) November 24, 2017
I dont get this ‘Atiku should resign from politics’. Why should he???
We supported an old, incompetent & half-dead Buhari in 2015. Same Buhari will recontest in 2019.
But it is Atiku that we want to quit politics.
Una no well…

In everything @atiku wrote in that party resignation letter it’s the “God” part that struck me the most.
How these people easily mention God and at the same time rape His people is what intrigues me.And this same God will soon tell him to go back to PDP

Now that Atiku has left APC, let Buhari order EFCC to arrest him. Only APC guys are clean and innocent, Atiku is no longer a saint.
Going after his companies alone won’t be enough.

Nigerian political party transfer Window is opened.
APC signed Obanikoro
PDP signed AtikuMore transfers coming.

Atiku should have remained in the PDP and supported GEJ for a Second term. Maybe 2019 woulda been easier for him as PDP would have had the power of incumbency. Loyalty has its benefits

Atiku can be Nigeria’s Trump. Not a perfect man but he understands Economics, headhunts brilliant people and can create JOBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
