Atiku And The Chronicle Of Chasing Shadows by Ugik(m): 11:30am On Nov 26, 2017
Just when i thought Atiku was going to be APC's jack sparrow who will protect his ship with so much love and care no matter what,instead,he jumps ship again.

.if he likes let him decamp to mars,he will never rule nigeria for obvious reasons and if PDP presents atiku as their candidate,2019 will be a walk over for buhari..

First,Atiku has made himself appear desperate for the office of the president and this is a turn off for electorates like me and he wont be taken serious.little wonder,he is associated with the term "political prostitute".
Second reason why atiku's unelectability in Nigeria is lengendary is due to the baggage of corruption accusations hanging round his neck even though they are unsubstantiated.


At the moment,no politician in Nigeria apart from muhammadu Buhari can boost of 15million votes even in the face of opposition. Truth is,despite all that has been happening within his government,his abysmal lack of coherence,all the make beliefs and charade,his fan base has growna nd even larger. Before you counter what I say,keep sentiments aside especially if you are from my region,the south east,be realistic and you will discover that online criticism and ranting has never influenced voters decision at all.

Come 2019,should buhari contest,like him or not,he will coast to a landslide victory irrespective of who the opposition candidate is,even if its Atiku. Most political pundits argue that since its going to be a northern contest that PMB will face a stiffer contest but truth is he won't..both PMB and Atiku have a lot of fan base in the north,I may not like PMB and his method of politics but judging from past records,he will come out victorious both in south west and north.


Even if the battle ground shifts to the SS and SE,it will be one hell of a ride..My region, SE,believes in the zonal arrangement of 2023 been the turn of an Igbo man even though its not guaranteed but I believe they won't take a chance on Atiku as that will mean waiting till 2027 before it gets to us and that is still also not guaranteed.

The best bet will be to get PMB to finish his tenure and if this permutation doesn't work,our vote may be very negligible cos of the high rate of voter apathy that has been the order of the day,using anambra election and enugu LGA election as a case study.

Another angle here is based on the theory that the north may Want to keep power and voting Atiku guarantees them an extra 4years more. How all these will play out, only time will tell but what I can predict is that the next president of Nigeria come 2019 will still be PMB.
