Legit.ng gathered that Atiku in a statement released by his media office and signed by his media aide, Paul Ibe, said he knew nothing about the posters or those who may have promoted it.
I remain a bonafide member of PDP
Premium Times also reports that the former vice president pointed out that while he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Soludo is presently an aspirant for the November 6 governorship election in Anambra state, on the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).
He said:
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored the reports, but for the interest of those who may be misled by the disingenuous plot. It is obvious that this is a work of mischief. For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar is of the PDP while Charles Soludo is of APGA. It is silly of anyone to attempt to drag the former vice president into an election in Anambra which outcome will be determined by the people of the state."
Atiku reiterated that the purported 2023 campaign posters in circulation linking him to Soludo is the handiwork of mischief makers and that it should be ignored.

Atiku/Soludo's presidential campaign posters surface
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the circulation of posters purportedly indicated that Soludo would be the running mate to Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election annoyed the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
It was reported that the party through the national coordinator of APGA Media Warriors, Chinedu Obigwe, said desperate politicians were behind the posters.
He said desperate politicians that want to stop Soludo at all costs are behind the posters. However, he said they will fail because Soludo's ambition is a mandate from God.
