"clearly, We're The Underdogs,they're The Incumbent"- Atiku by sammyzacks(m): 7:06am On Jan 11, 2011
LAGOS, Nigeria—Thousands of delegates from across Nigeria are set to cast their votes in the ruling party's presidential primary, kicking off a contest to run Africa's most populous nation and one of its fastest-growing economies.

The People's Democratic Party primary, to be held Thursday in the capital, Abuja, will award the victor with the inside track for the country's general election in April. In every election since Nigeria emerged from military rule in 1999, the ruling party's pick has gone on to win the presidency.
This primary pits former zoology professor-turned-president, Goodluck Jonathan, against Atiku Abubakar, a former customs chief and vice president. With the strength of the president's office and financial resources, Mr. Jonathan is the favorite to win a four-year term, according to analysts and advisers to both candidates.

"Clearly, we're the underdogs," said Garba Shehu, the communications adviser to Mr. Abubakar. "They're the incumbent."

Heh. To a certain extent, Atiku is a smooth operator. Media savvy.

Abi? So this is the kind of mentality Atiku and co would carry along if their camp gets into power; so for any future contestant, 'underdog' would be an understatement.
I thought we were all working towards a free and fair election?

I wonder why it took so long for him to realize it, Jonathan is a power drunk idiot and will rather die instead of relinquishing power to Atiku
