ATIKU’S ABRUPTLY SUSPENDED CAMPAIGNS

Though the Atiku Campaign Organisation is yet to give any official reason(s), indications emerging show that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s campaign may have been suspended abruptly. Last week saw the politician speaking at three hurriedly-organized and poorly-attended rallies in three of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
The heavily-financed and overstaffed Atiku Campaign Office which include 20 spokespersons, 25 research officers, 35 public affairs officers, 56 political specialists, 73 Information Technology (IT) full-time experts, 500 interns including several undocumented American, British, Israeli, and Arab expatriate advisors, according to a staff, scheduled to hold a rally in Yola, Adamawa state this week but was cancelled after a post-mortem analysis of the three rallies last week “for us to re-strategize.”
A source at the Atiku Campaign Office in Yola, however, confessed during heavy drinking with a CIA undercover agent that the Office decided to “temporarily suspend rallies” when the campaign “could mobilise people who were barely more than an airport welcome party in Yola.” He noted that the North-West and North-Central rallies at Sokoto and Kwara which are two states Atiku campaign depended on for votes in the North because they are supposed to be his strongholds recorded “some of the worst attendance we have seen since Atiku started contesting in the 1990s. They were so shameful we had to put the rallies on hold for now.”
To further show the Atiku Campaign is at low ebb, his campaign staff have broken off communications with the PDP secretariat. The holiday mood of his campaign team is partly responsible for his missing out of the signing of the Peace Pact with other presidential candidates at the International Conference Centre (ICC) yesterday in Abuja even though candidate Atiku himself was in the Federal Capital Territory at the time of the signing. One of his numerous spokesmen, Paul Ibe, said his principal’s reason for boycotting the event was that he “was not invited”. An intern at Atiku Campaign Office said “Nobody told us that the venue where the Peace Pact will be taking place was Abuja. The message was portrayed in a way that it might be in New York or any other US territory. The invitation noted that the US Ambassador, Stuart Symington, will be attending gave us the impression that our principal might be tactically or forcefully arrested for the Jefferson case in Washington.” He said further that while he was aware the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) or Interpol has no power of arrest on Nigerian soil, “Buhari and APC may just want to be too smart. So, we deem it fit to stay away because the Americans are working desperately with them against our candidate.” The source further noted that the clerk at the office of the PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus, who received the National Peace Committee (NPC)’s invitation letter on behalf of the party was the first to misunderstand the content of the NPC’s letter. Hence, he was trying to work for a pay rise, after being owed several months’ salaries, by not transmitting the letter to the Atiku’s campaign for his much-need presence in ICC yesterday.
In addition to already depleting resources, President Buhari’s Executive Order 6 is beginning to take its toll on the Atiku’s campaign. The Campaign which depends on heavily on the availability of money is currently being forced to operate on lean budget since key partners like the South-East and South-South PDP Governors, according to an expatriate, most of whom are currently engaged in political battles in their states seeking elections for possible second terms in office are not looking ready to bankroll Atiku’s Campaign. His running mate, fearing a possible defeat of a largely crumbling Atiku campaign, my sources reveal, has decided to minimize his risks by having to get his party to tell a bold lie that his bank account was frozen as a way of escaping funding a hopeless cause.
Noticing this, Atiku’s campaign office decided to suspend campaign activities till steady funding can be guaranteed. Several sources reveal that, in desperation, candidate Atiku is looking to some diplomats “who are ready to do good business” to help launder funds from some secret accounts in Dubai to prosecute the 2019 presidential election. The United Arab Emirates’ Embassy has reportedly alerted the Buhari-led Government on this plan which means Atiku have to thread with caution!

Atiku euphoria dieing down. They thought it was about gra gra campaign. Now reality is setting. Peter Obi will not release so much of his money because he is a calculative person even they governor's, who are more interested in saving their seats. Shebi Dem talk say Atiku na money bag? 2015 scenario not thesame as this. The non assent of the electoral bill will definitely make sponsors hold back.

The real reason is that both SE/SS PDP governors are yet to agree to attend Atiku's campaign flagoff in these regions over unresolved issues. Atiku is merely saving face by postponing the campaigns until he is able to appease them to attend the campaign grin grin grin

Even Buhari knows that this is a concocted lie from one of his online machineries.

The write-up is so disjointed and disorganized that even their paymasters won't believe it.

The CIA undercover agent part made me laugh.
So the CIA agent is working for APC to start telling them his discovery abi?

SMH, election has turned some people into dummy state.

APC camp is in shamble they are yet to nominate campaign team, few days ago Tinubu declined to lead Buhari campaign, the bunce head Adams Oshiomhole called APC governors for a meeting in Abuja three days ago, only four governors attended, APC is still on fire that is why some APC governors, and national assembly members have started campaign without waiting for Buhari. Buhari should come to Imo state and open his campaign let us know how popular he is grin grin

Thank You. Again all the stolen money Atiku has is no longer accessible because of order 6. Other PDP chieftains are afraid to even claim their houses because they know its gotten from fraud. SS/SE already saw the handwriting on the wall and have ran to pledge their allegiance to PMB.
The only people still shouting Atiku are pain IPOb criminals and their sympathizers together with those previously enjoying ill gotten government money.
