Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by confluence: 6:27am On Jan 20, 2011
Jonathan woos Atiku

A unified Presidential Campaign Committee is taking shape, possibly chaired by Atiku Abubakar, to map out the strategy on how to garner votes from the length and breadth of the country for Goodluck Jonathan’s run for President.

Both Atiku and Ibrahim Babangida disclosed on Sunday that they will not go to court over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries on January 13, where Jonathan won the Presidential ticket.

Sources in the party headquarters in Abuja said a unified campaign team and other election matters have been discussed by a caucus and other organs.

In this wise, the Campaign Organisations of Jonathan and Atiku, hitherto at loggerheads, may be collapsed into the Presidential Campaign Committee.

The leaders of the party are anxious to reconcile and repair all breaches caused by the primaries.

The move to draft Atiku to head the campaign was started by Jonathan himself, in conjunction with the PDP hierarchy and some Governors.

Jonathan has reached out to Atiku with a proposal to unify their forces, which will be headed by him, a major development as the party gears up  for the campaign proper.

What a wise step! I'm impressed.
There is nothing greater than peace, love and co-operation.
If all the top dogs in PDP come together, Jonathan will defeat Ribadu and Buhari with a very wide margin.
Lack of peace and enemity cost Soludo the Anambra governorship position.
Its good GeJ realises the importance of peace and i hope Atiku complys.

The olive branch been extended to Atiku is a welcome dev'lpment, however i'm afraid for him heading the campaign train
Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by Ijeleigbo(m): 7:28am On Jan 20, 2011
Whats your fear? Fear of being critiscized??
There little things we don't know. Atiku is a winner and not a looser!
He won the North concencus and was PDP presidential aspirant. He loosed to GEJ but he won trying thats the most important thing.
FEAR IS DEADLY THAN HIV AND MUST BE AVOIDED

This is some serious strategizing on the part of Jonathan sha. What a masterstroke - incorporating your enemy to strengthen your position.

if u can't beat them, join them.
Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by Bishopking: 11:33am On Jan 20, 2011
All these seem pre-arranged from the word go. The primary itself might be a drama- with the script well written in advance. Think about it!

The best thing Atiku can do for the PDP is for him to fade into the background for now. There is no "masterstroke" , except in the Nigerian sense, for him to now head GEJ's campaign . It would make Jonathan seem more of a desperate appeasenik than he is viewed as already. Atiku would fare no better because he will be seen as insincere and unprincipled for heading the campaign of a man he says Nigeria "cannot trust" and should not vote for because "he has no political ideology". Atiku , ideally, should not work against Jonathan because they are from the same Party but I think events are too far gone for him to now work for Jonathan let alone head his campaign.

Hahahahah I d laugh Oh,
Where on earth can this happy? I think to head a campaign team is to preach for the person . Atiku can never accept to this. Uncle GEJ you better look for another way of talking to Akitu. mean while PDP is a fairlure. no matter how good is a building, the foundation and the cornerstone is the Pillar.

Vote for Buhari or Ribadu.

If they don't work together, the party stands a higher chance of loosing the presidential election and so they both loose their various looting privileges,

Would it not be better if these two destroy themselves rather than forcefully drag Nigeria along.

Atiku can never head Jonathan's campaign train.Lets watch and see.
Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by kpozite(m): 7:35pm On Jan 20, 2011
Atiku ! Atiku !
In 1999 he became Vice president via a PDP ticket.
In 2007 this man said that PDP is a monster and a corrupt party and said Nigerians should join him fight it.
2011, He came back and joined the acclaimed corrupt party which participated in forming, said Goodluck's govt is not efficient and that zoning must be adhered to.
Now what has he to tell us that will make us vote for GEJ. To me it is a mistake.
Nigerian politicians are senseless, myopic, and rarely think beyond today nor do they see beyond their noses. Atiku is a typical example
Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by rasputinn(m): 7:36pm On Jan 20, 2011
Atiku WILL NOT head GEJ campaign team
Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by sulad82i(m): 7:40pm On Jan 20, 2011
Good move for the party cos this will really push them forward in the race against other contestants for the post, but still, I dont want pdp there anymore. We need fresh set of heads to lead the country with other ideas

Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by Donmeca(m): 7:47pm On Jan 20, 2011
Making peace with Atiku and ultimately incorporating him into GEJ's plans is good but making him a member, let alone d head of GEJ campaign team will backfire. Their will be principle and integrity issues raised on both sides. . .Gbawe took a lot of words from my mouth on this. . .let me no repeat them.

Ijele-igbo:

Lack of peace and enemity cost Soludo the Anambra governorship position.

Soludo was never good enough for Anambra governorship (structure- and campaign-wise). . .just like people saying Ribadu 2011, let's let that one rest
Re: Atiku Abubakar to head Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Committee? by lovejo(m): 7:48pm On Jan 20, 2011
This is what Atiku demanded if you don't know:

1. 50 Billion naira plus profit on it as what he spend for primaries.
2. To Nominate 10 Ministers.


I hope GEJ do  not succumb to his demand.

I heard this from a reliable from Northern Caucuses.

^^^^Ï guess you are joking! anyway the only reason GEJ will Incorporate Atiku is to compensate him, and to allow him embezzle all the campaign money, haha.
