Atiku Can Never Win Any Election In Nigeria...

Then on your well researched article, you mean it is valid until you decide otherwise? I give up on you!

Wishing you success in your flip flop support for failures!

lauretta onochie aka ngeneukwenu stay away from IPOB

TonyeBarcanista:

The article is well researched and highly valid...

However, it is my support for Atiku 2019 that will be determined by me if I'm convinced that it is in the best interest of Nigeria, PDP and myself (I have my interest though not selfish).

For now, I am NOT Atiku's supporter yet...


Abeg free IPOB small... Make we focus on Nigeria!!!

you ediot why not focus on defending yourself and stay away from IPOB.ediot

NgeneUkwenu:
Four Valid Reasons Nigeria Cannot Afford To Have Atiku In Aso Rock In 2019 By Tonybarcanista



I have been observing the recent moves by a former Vice President of Nigeria Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who is also a veteran aspirant for the office of the President. Atiku Abubakar has suddenly shifted from his subtle campaign for President to what seem to be like an almost direct campaign for the number one seat in the country. In the Social media, some sycophantic groups and individual with inspiration from their stomach have been making noise by endorsing the Turaki Adamawa-perhaps, with expectation of gratification “when the time comes”.

While I am not against Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to exercise his right to aspire for the office of the President in 2019 or any office in Nigeria, I have the responsibility as a young man, a patriot and a youth leader in my own right to enlighten Nigerians and eligible voters about Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s candidacy (just like I would to any other aspirant for the office).

I shall give some reasons why Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is unfit to occupy the office he is aspiring for;

1. Lack of Integrity:

During the period when he was the Vice President of the country, Atiku was appointed to chair the Petroleum Technology Development Fund by the President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. As Chairman of Petroleum Training Development Fund(PTDF), Atiku lodged over $30million and $164 in Trans International Bank and Equatorial Trust Bank respectively from the account of PTDF according to EFCC’s forensive indictment in 2006. In fact, ‘loans’ that yielded interest as high as 15% to the banks were collected from the said banks by Atiku and his proteges AFTER PTDF millions of dollars has been lodged with the illegal account. It was all business! When the deal was busted in 2006, Atiku simply said that he ‘kept the monies for safe-keeping’ and even claimed that he deserves commendation. He brought back the PTDF “capital” that he put in private account and benefited hugely from it.

Atiku Abubakar was indicted by EFCC, Senate, and a Presidential Committee. He is yet to clear his name. As usual, a court that he went to never discussed whether he was innocent or guilty, but simply said the FG Committee lacks power to investigate and indict Atiku Abubakar because they weren’t courts.

You may look these for reference.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6402241.stm
www.saharareporters.com/2006/09/24/objatiku-scandal-what-efcc-failed-disclose-thenewssaharareporters
www.saharareporters.com/2007/02/28/breaking-news-ptdf-scandal-senate-indicts-obj-atiku-impeachment-motion-looms

It is a shame that we are in a country where we forget easily. Otherwise, how could sane Nigerians be asking for Atiku’s Presidency when Nigerians in unison were asking for him to come out clean as for back as 2006.

Apart from the PTDF, Nigerians are yet to understand how Alhaji Atiku Abubakar from a humble background became an extraordinary billionaire despite the fact that most of his productive adult life was spent in the Nigeria Custom Service.

There is also an indictment on Atiku in the USA, I am yet to see him take up the challenge to take a trip to the United States as requested by exPresident Olusegun Obasanjo in 2014.

2. Tribal Supremacism:

One of the challenge of President Buhari’s administration is that he is more aligned with his brothers in the north than with the rest of the country, though Buhari has never hidden where is primary loyalty lies (his north). While many think Atiku is detribalised (we can only be patriotic and not detribalised anyway), the bare truth is that Atiku is a northern supremacist that believe that his northerners should always align with their own. Unlike Buhari, Atiku is pretentious about his- but his sin shall find him out.

In 2010, in their bid to stop Goodluck Jonathan from seeking the ticket of PDP in the 2011 Presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, Aliyu Gusau, Gen IBB and Bukola Saraki(now Senate President) all submitted themselves to Adamu Ciroma led Northern Political Leaders Forum to come up with a a consensus NORTHERN candidate to upstage Southern Goodluck Jonathan. Atiku was eventually chosen as the eventual “northern candidate” over Saraki, who wasn’t considered “northern enough” by the Ciroma led Forum. Atiku led a campaign in the north that he christened “Naka Sai Naka” meaning “Northerners go for your own”.

The record is there for all to see http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-12193681

3. Insincerity And Deception:

Atiku is a very wealthy man no doubt, but of late we have seen a picture of him drinking sachet water aka pure water. When did Atiku start drinking such? Who is he trying to deceive? We won’t forget the N40 sacthet Milo/tea gimmicks that the Buhari campaign employed to deceive gullible Nigerians into believing that he was a “poor man”. We won’t forget the “akara” frying stunt of Mrs Aisha Buhari during the electioneering period in 2015. We should realise that when politicians are desperate, they take to any act just to impress and deceiving the gullible into giving them their votes. #NeverAgain should we be falling for such. It amounts to deception in the part of the elite to continue to use such gimmicks.

Also, Atiku has been making case for federalism and stuffs, but in ALL his years in Aso Rock as VeePee, he never initiated nor suggested such. In fact, Atiku was a very powerful VeePee between 1999 and 2003, as he was in charge of home-front while Obasanjo was travelling the world, yet he never thought of any pro-Federalism/restructuring policy. It is true that he fought against the third term agenda of Obasanjo, but we all know that he did it so that he can be able to succeed the president in 2007- he didn’t do it for Nigeria.

4. What Does He Have To Offer That He Can’t Suggest To Incumbents?

Atiku is part of the political system in Nigeria. In 1993 he ran for President, but lost to MKO Abiola in the Social Democratic Party primary election. In 2007, he ran for Presidency under Action Congress, but lost to Umaru Yaradua of PDP, and coming behing ANPP’s General Buhari. In 2011 he ran for Presidency and lost to Jonathan in the contest for PDP ticket. In 2014, he ran again but lost to Muhammadu Buhari in the APC primary, coming behind second placed Rabiu Kwankwaso. Now he is eyeing 2019! What is Atiku looking for after serving as Vice President for eight years? What did he forget in the villa that he wants to go back to get?

Atiku is already 70, he will be 73 in 2019, he is not an outsider of the system (like the American Trump), what does he have to offer that he couldn’t offer as VeePee? What stops him from sharing his “developmental” ideas to the incumbents since 1999 (considering that he was always in the incumbent parties)? What stops Alhaji Atiku from grooming younger, smarter and intelligent politician for the plum job?

Like I said earlier in my first paragraph, I am not against the right of Atiku to seek office, but I am against the idea of him becoming President. Nigeria cannot afford to continue to rotate failures and grannies. We need generational shift in leadership, we need to retire the system elite and bring him visionaries in 2019.

Nigeria has to be great for our own good, and we must make it great!

Thank you.. Internet never forgets..

Theakthedream:

Election is coming and you want to now free Igbos because you know they are they ones supporting Atiku and Pdp.... Right? I dey shame for you oo..

mr IPOB is not supporting anyone and will never support anyone from zoo

TonyeBarcanista:

The Article was aptly written and highly researched, but it isn't a justification for the continuous stay of Buhari and APC.

In 2014 I stated that "It is an indictment on Goodluck Jonathan that Nigerians will be looking up to General Muhammadu Buhari", and now I can confidently state that,

"It is an indictment on President Muhammadu Buhari for Nigerians to be looking up to Atiku Abubakar to rescue them from his grip".

Trust me, Atiku name would never have appeared on our political space if BUHARI had performed...

In fact, Nigerians would have been looking for a much younger successor

I want to correct that in 2015 certain parts, not entire Nigeria, continued to view Jonathan as the messiah, inspite of the obvious ruin sorrounding them.

In 2019, certain parts, not Nigeria as a whole, will accept Atiku as a messiah, in spite of your well researched and documented brief on him as a failure and misfit for Presidency.

NgeneUkwenu:


No we cannot free Atiku, because they are crop of people giving you the air of confidence that Atiku can win Adamawa State in 2019..

Back to the topic, I have no doubt you will campaign for Atiku pre 2019, my only concern as a friend, is how you do manage to reconcile your conscience after moving 360 degrees on sensitive issues.....because we are still going to do a lot together outside Nairaland.

Shalom!

IPOB has been defeated by the collective will of Nigeria people of which I am proud to be part of, now it is time to focus on Nigeria as one people.

My appeal to "free IPOB" is borne out of the fact that I don't believe in taunting people continuously but we must move on.

When it comes to politics, there is no permanency, everything is relatively permanent as long as interests aligns

I recall how you, Omenka and several others pounced on me when I switched to PDP because you felt we aren't comrades anymore but to me I saw no offence that my erstwhile people have turned into my persecutors... Because it was politics (though I dislike the fact that it was taken personal by you guys).

Irrespective of political leaning, sensitive issues remain sensitive to me till death...

YES! I will advice that he apply for USA Visa and take a trip. Same way I will advice Buhari to account for the unremitted N50billion, N500m MTN bribe and other fraud under his watch.

NOTE: I questioned the source of his wealth but never posited that he stole billions (that is libelous).

Has barawo bubu returned the billions he stole as PTF Chairman under Abacha?
No wonder he said Abacha did not steal our money even after billions had been recovered in 2008, i.e. 10 years after Abacha's death from eating Indian apples.

There are many documented materials on Atiku, many of which is not even in the public domain yet. I do hope he wins the primary and becomes PDP candidate so these materials can flood the internet. I also hope Saraki heeds his call and return to PDP, taking Dino with him. Kwara is begging for an opportunity to delist Saraki dynasty from its politics.

As a ruling party that is seeking another mandate, what Nigerians will want to see ans hear is WHAT YOU HAVE DONE since 2015.

life2017:


Only people who don't understand fundamentals complain of Buhari performance. Nigeria foreign reserves have been growing monthly since December 2016 even at oil price of $50.

What many people are calling hardship is actually prudence of Buhari administration to structurally change our consumption of imported goods. Today Nigeria is looking inward in the real sector.

Those in the real sector are making huge profit under this Buhari govt.

Those complaining are those who created import base business with little or no added value. Those who created business around luxury because of easy dollars from oil during GEJ are still among those shouting.

The truth is that it is normal to have pain when you are moving away from easy and free money to hard earned money.

Even a baby of 10 years can run the govt in Jonathan way during the period of over $100 per barrel. GEJ govt was a govt of enjoyment without doing anything. The money came naturally without any input.

All the perceive good economy during Jonathan was just import and enjoy since we have dollar.

Today, we are in govt of reality. A govt of cut your coat according to your size. It is natural for people to complain.

One of the area I fault Buhari is in his area of slowness and his inability to eliminate the perception of his ethno religious bias. I also fault him on his inability to use his appointees as scape goat in his anti corruption war.

I wish I could give you a hug!

I think right thinking Nigerians know the truth.

And I join you to say; "One of the area I fault Buhari is in his area of slowness and his inability to eliminate the perception of his ethno religious bias. I also fault him on his inability to use his appointees as scape goat in his anti corruption."

PDP should woo Kwankwaso to the party and field him if they wanna win the North. Take it from me, northerners are tired of buhari but Will still vote him over atiku because they are tribakistic like that. But Kwankwaso will WIN BUHARI IN THE CORE NORTH IF FIELDED

You are a ruling party that is expected to campaign with what the government has done to warrant reelection instead of negative campaign on Atiku. The mistake PDP made in 2015 was to be campaigning with Buhari lack of certificate and "bigotry" instead of selling Jonathan's achievement. You are towing that path.

Do NOTE that I don't have candidate yet BUT I will campaign for Atiku IF I get convinced of his candidacy or my party, PDP, present him.

Lol you are never serious when did you return to the pdp
