Yorubas are calling for Buhari to run again and complete 8yrs so the seat can return to South. Yoruba will thus get Presidency in 2023. It is no longer about how Buhari has sidelined SW but more of keeping our eyes on the ball for 2023. Our turn to come out of sideline and be on the field. This is a desire far greater than anything else. In order to keep our goal and achieve it we must not vote anyone beside Buhari/Osinbajo. Even if Atiku pick a Yorubaman for running mate thats 8yrs of waiting. At the end of his first 4yrs and after planting feet in power he could drop the Yoruba deputy and pick another Southerner and thus lock us out of presidency for 24yrs. Yoruba Ronu! Keep eye on Osinbajo and return him to power. 1 Like |

Charly68: Atiku is not guided by principles but greed for power. He has more than Obasanjo to contend with in SW. He has to get Baba Akande and Tinubu on his side. Considering that Gani Adams is new Aare, expect him to be involved in politics.....pro-Yoruba politics! So Atiku will not scale Baba Akande, Tinubu or Aare Adams, not to mention Baba Obasanjo. 2 Likes |

ATIKU MEETING WITH OBASANJO ... Obasanjo springs up from a seat in his expansive sitting room as soon as Atiku is ushered in. He smiles briefly and offers a handshake. Atiku throws himself at him for a hug. “Please, sit down. Good to see you again. I’m sorry I couldn’t give an earlier appointment. I’ve been travelling. The problem in Zimbabwe, Kenya and so many others. Anyway, what brings you this time?” “Baba, I thank you for your time, for receiving me despite your tight schedule. I won’t take much of your precious time sir. I bring peace. You’re our leader; our pillar. We do not think it will be wise to take any important step without informing you and carrying you along. In this country today, nobody can say you don’t count. You are not just an ordinary person; you’re an elder statesman. And…” Obasanjo cuts in, raising his right hand. “Please, go into the specific. What exactly do you want? That long introduction seems to be confusing. Straight to the point.” “Baba, I’m running and I wish to get your blessing.” Smiling, Obasanjo looks straight at Atiku, his visage betraying some incredulity. “You ’re running? Where to? Why? Is anybody pursuing you?” “No Baba. I’m planning to contest the presidency on the platform of our great party, the PDP. And I am honoured and privileged to be telling you this so that I can receive your blessing. Former President Jonathan and many other eminent Nigerians have advised me to visit you and settle whatever differences we may have. This is my mission sir.” “Hee he. Jonathan asked you to come here? Am I in their party? Please, I’m a statesman. I announced it that I’m no longer a politician. When I resigned from PDP or whatever they call themselves, I didn’t do corner corner o. I tore their card. So, if that boy, em…eeem…eeeem… Jona, is telling you to come and you’re coming here, is he sincere? I remain a farmer and a statesman. One million Atikus can’t change that whether they are running or walking or flying. I’m sorry, Mr Atiku.” “You seem to be getting it all wrong sir. I’m not asking you to come out of retirement and campaign for me. No. I’m only informing you and asking you to bless me so that I can succeed.” “Again, I’m not a politician. Are you listening? I’m too honest and frank to remain in that circle – of lies, backstabbing, intrigues and corruption. Deceit. No. I’m done. My politics now is Nigeria. Anybody who says Nigeria will not rise and move forward, I am ready to go konkobilo with that person. So, oga, that is my position.” “Baba, I salute your sincerity – and courage. You are not the type who will deceive anybody to score cheap political points. You’re blunt. There are many of us in the race. That is why I crave your endorsement. You must have an opinion on this important matter.” “Yes. I have heard that some of you are warming up. I’m not the type that fears. I have my opinion on each and everyone of you. The other boy (wetin be im name now o?). Obasanjo scratches it aggressively. He looks up and continues. “Makarfi. Yes; I hear he too wants to contest. I know he used to be governor of Kaduna. He was a senator. And now chairman of what they call Caretaker Committee. Hmmm… “Sule Lamido is my boy, but dem say he get baggage. And you know Buhari is a soldier. He will simply ambush him and that will be the end of the matter. “Buhari sef. I said so that he will not steal. He will fight corruption and jail all the thieves making noise and gallivanting all over the place. But Buhari may not do well in the economy. I said so. No be so?” “Baba, I thank you for your insight. The words of our elders… . Do I take it that I have your blessing to pick the PDP ticket for 2019?” Hmm…hmmmm…hmm (Obasanjo clears his thrioat). “PDP my foot. I don’t care who gets the PDP ticket. Dat one na dem toro. I’m not a member and I don’t plan to be one. Let them sell it or give it or dash it to whoever they like. Me o, Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo, I don’t care. A statesman I will remain. I thank you for visiting.” A crowd of reporters and photographers have set up a camp outside the door. As Obasanjo and his guest emerge from the main house, they spring up onto their feet and rushed towards them. “Baba, good afternoon. How are you sir?” Obasanjo, smiling without showing his teeth:”I dey kampe, as you can see.” “How did the meeting go?” “Which meeting? No meeting o. You know Christmas will soon be here. The former VP came to wish me merry Christmas. Is anything wrong with that? And I wish you all Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.” After a handshake with Obasanjo, Atiku walks briskly towards his car, adjusting his agbada. The reporters rush to catch up with him. “Sir, how did it go? Is it true you came to tell Baba to support your ambition? Did he promise to back you?” “Baba has spoken and that is all. I have no comments – for now. Have a nice day, my friends.” An aide opens the door. Atiku jumps in and the car rolls out of the large compound. 7 Likes |

Obasanjo will not determine for Nigerians whom they will vote for. It's also clear dat Atiku opposed Obasanjo's third term project and helped in scuttling it. Atiku might not be the Messiah Nigerians want but also definitely not this Administration. In fact, the under performance of this Administration might even push more support to Atiku if he becomes a Presidential candidate. |

Is Obasanjo now the electorate that decides through their votes who wins or looses an election? Is Atiku more corrupt than Obasanjo? Why should he apologise to Obasanjo before he can be assured of winning the Presidency? Nigerians should be grateful to Atiku for thwarting the greedy and highly corrupt Obasanjo's third term ambition. The importance attached to Obasanjo in Nigeria's political circle is over-bearing! He is nothing but a hypocrite. |

Atiku is a no no. Atiku is the worst greedy fellow to do business with. He has the sense of selfish monopolist if given the opportunity. He single handed collect the contract for COJA, gave his company the contract to buy around 3000 BMW used and collected and sold it himself( This I know personally). Atiku owns African circle on the Snake Island, with Nigeria Port authority waste management also. This were gotten fraudulently when he was the VP and hijacked so many Nigeria companies, this is one of the reason Baba hated him. So many of this kids supporting him, do not know him 5 Likes |
