1. During the 1993 election season, Atiku was selected by one of the most liberal and respected Northerners, Shehu Musa Yar'adua to be the running mate of MKO Abiola. Despite his customs background, Atiku had found favour in a Military mans heart. This is very rare!

2. Considering the fact that Atiku played no role in the Nigerian civil war, he is thus, outside the ambit of the so called 'owners of Nigeria'. For many historians, The hatred for Atiku stems from the fact that a customs boy is dining with the military big boys.

3. Atiku is a very brilliant man. While he might not be "book smart" like Dr. osinbajo, he is business smart. Something which many of our presidents lacked. Including Obasanjo. Hence, the reason why he did a better Job heading the economic team between 1999 and 2006!

4. Atiku knows how to source talent. This he wont be appointing Audu Ogbeh and co into positions. He sourced the likes of El-rufai and many others who did an amazing Job between 2000-2006. If you look at his campaign team you'd see his desire for new but tested hands.

5. Of all the candidates. Atiku is still the only one with a standard policy document which he has carried with him from PDP to APC and back to PDP. In essence the man has a plan which he wants to implement and doesn't care which party he does it under. He just needs a shot. for those who have not read his policy document, here it is Atiku.org/policydocument

6. The number of times Atiku has battled demons and come out tops, is amazing. The sheer strength of character to achieve his goal. Lets take a little detour......

6a. Atiku first dabbled into politics in 1990 (running for governor) He had made money as a customs officer by partnering with our Italian Nigerian brother, Volpi, and they made a fortune off Intels. he cant be blamed for being smart like an Igbo man by taking advantage of such situation.

6b. He was to run for the presidency in 1992 with the support of late Yar'adua, but STEPPED down for MKO Abiola..
He ran again for governor in 1998 and won, but was asked instead to be Vice President.

6c. During the Abacha era, Atiku was hounded and stripped of his board position at INTEL as part of a political witch hunt. He was attacked in 1995 and thus fled Nigeria.

6d. The biggest demons which he fought, that made me love him even more, was in 2005/2006 when Obasanjo wanted to extend his presidential bid to a third term. Atiku was the biggest problem to Baba's third term bid. Even to his own detriment as we have all seen play out. Note the gravity of this. Fighting your boss because they are trying to make themselves live president after saying they wont. Osinbajo doesn't have the balls or the will to fight Buhari if it ever came up.

7. Thus, my seventh point. Atiku understand fairness and equity. If he didn't, he would have allowed obasanjo a 3rd term. After all, he would still be vice president. But he knew it would be unfair. It would be unjust and so he fought his boss.

8. Atiku has the right international presence. He can easily interact with the wider world and wouldn't be as timid as Johnathan or even Buhari. He is also very articulate (Atikulate) lol. So i wont be struggling to hear what he says.

9. He is not media shy. And thus, wont be clamping down on the media because he is scared to face them (tag your MCM who hasn't held a media conference). If anything, he has faced the media the most. He has battled them.

10. He is a detribalised Nigeria. Whatever that means. He sure is better than Buhari in this department. For the record, nobody has to come and lie to us that He likes Igbo people or Yoruba people. It is evident. He married a Yoruba woman Titi and an Igbo woman Jenifer.

11.If there is one candidate who has been hell bent on restructuring, it is Atiku, which did not start today but since 1995 he believe that Nigeria need to be restructured for all regions to feel accepted and accept in one Nigeria philosophy.

12. Atiku remains the only candidate who has a business that is open to the public view. The only candidate who's school has helped train future leaders. I mean, his university is top quality for Nigerian standards. How many of your MCMs have a university which they run??

13 .Atiku is most likely to obey the rule of law. Unlike Obasanjo and Buhari, he doesn't have the military mind of working without the court. And as a beneficiary of such system, i doubt he would treat it the way Buhari is treating the court.

14. On the health sector
What do i even say. He has signed a deal recently to build a hospital in Nigeria. However, it is better than Buhari's "no official will travel abroad for treatment". But he is the first president in the world to spend more months away from his country on medical reasons.

15.No Politician in Nigeria have being scrutinized than Atiku, he is always seen as corrupt because of his wealth and the respect he command across the country but nobody have come up with any corruption case against him. He is the only politician in opposition party that still hv loyalty within Buhari cabinet. There will surely be divided interest in Buhari cabinet if Atiku clinch the PDP ticket like one of APC minister recently told Buhari openly that she will work for Atiku if he declares interest to contest for presidency. Hate him or like him, Atiku knows how to treat his subjects that always make them loyal to him.

16.Atiku is the only Northern Fulani Nigerian that understand and recognize the ability and the nature of Igbo man! He has igbos on top of most of his establishments and that is why he is one of the most influential and wealthy Nigerian! He believes igbos are indispensable in wealth creation and have shown that in running his business successfully.

17.Comparing Atiku and Buhari is like comparing light and darkness! Atiku have created jobs and wealth for Nigerians even without being the president, Buhari never had any history of creating jobs outside power except from managing his cows in Daura he doesn't have any other achievement outside government!
