April Polls: Atiku's Name Not On Ballot Paper by shutmouth(m): 10:34am On Feb 27, 2007
We Didn’t Ask For Atiku’s Photograph – INEC

It is becoming increasingly likely that Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, would not contest in the elections, having been hemmed in on all sides by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

INEC Chairman, Maurice Iwu, confirmed on Monday that the man’s photograph was not required for the ballot paper,

Nigerians are a funny bunch!!!

Atiku, AC and their supporters want to see the LIVE ballot papers until they will believe that Atiku is disqualified and won't be contesting.

My question:

Is Atiku above the laws?

All the parties have replaced indicted candidates and forgotten about contesting and yet one man (Atiku) thinks the law will be twisted for him alone. Joker!!!

He seems to count on his successes in the court to intimidate INEC but he is a fool. Those court cases he won had no relevance to his indictment and no connection to the clause in the constitution that stipulates that any indicted candidate cannot contest.

It's quite stupid how even the press can be speculating that Atiku may contest when INEC boss has stated time and time again that Atiku is not contesting the April Polls.

Do the Nigerian public want a special TV announcement to clarify INEC's position. For many, I fear it will be too late as their hopes will be dashed when the ballot papers will be released without Atiku's photos on it.

And I can guarantee that there will not be any riot or public disturbances as only few Nigerians who are benefiting from Atiku's corruption are supporting him. The thugs and gangs that welcome him at the Airports and follow him about his useless campaign venues are hired to pose as supporters.

Atiku, give it up. You're going nowhere!!!
