Why Are Northerners Not Excited About Atiku Presidency? by hisexcellency34: 10:16am On Dec 19, 2018
Since Atiku Abubakar became the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, many Northerners are not really excited about him. The euphoria is only in the South, especially the South East, South West and South South?

Can Atiku really divide Buhari's vote in the North?

The question is, Do the Northerners consider him to be from the North?
They do not see him like that.

So all the crowds that have being gathering to meet him in the North are from the South ABI

APC and their media propaganda

Fear fear! They can't go into a free and fair elections

Why are they ripping JIMI Agbaje's posters off in Lagos

When ICC will be coming for that fake late President Mohammed Buhari for his atrocities and I pray they take Tinubu along!

To be honest, Atiku is seen as a south east candidate.
Even south south are surprisingly calm about him.
SE are the ones carrying him all over social media.
Hopefully, they have the numbers to take him far...

Oh wait! grin grin

The answer to your question is visible to the blind and glaring to the doubtful mind .
They are not excited because since the inception of one Nigeria the north have been the majority region to draw the progress of Nigeria backwards ,minority of problems in Nigeria were cost by elements in the north . They were cowed to follow their leaders even when they know their future are been destroyed.
Finally I must deduce that majority of those Muslims in the north are fashion to follow and believe any leaders that will not create or make their standard of living better through their religion . Simply facts to consider between 1960 till date which polar region that have manage the affairs of Nigeria longer ?
Answer is The North that why Nigeria is in this mess .

Atiku agenda is Igbo agenda n also Biafra agenda.
The Igbo, their fathers n forefather have been failing at this since 1960 and will surely fail till the end of time so therefore

Atiku agenda = failure agenda
Final answer FAILURE.

Good question. As someone from the North and from Atiku's state I think I can say something. Atiku is only an option if he's contesting with someone from the SE. Atiku can't defeat even the likes of Osinbajo in the North and this isn't hard to understand. Atiku's name is synonymous to corruption; North benefited nothing from his VP; his statement that Allah doesn't answer common man's prayer is fresh in our memory; so also the recent North and mud houses comment; he's generally seen as someone lacking in morality; his romance with Igbos too is a minus to him, his choice of Obi in particular; his desperation, remember he was in PDP, ACN, DPN, APC & now back to PDP again; and he's seen as someone who can't be relied upon. These are some of the reasons.
I'm from Mubi but I can't vote for Atiku when Buhari is in the race. Buhari is winning Adamawa entirely even Atiku knows this. We are comfortable having Yoruba as VP or President but certainly not an Igbo. We are just leaving with Igbos for now but we don't trust them. The event of January 15th is fresh in our memories. All the crowds following Atiku is a rented one. Remove Atiku from "his" money, he's nobody. 2019 election to an average Northerner is an easy ride for Buhari.
Let me stop here.

How can the Northerners be excited about a man who deceived them, made empty promises, ruled them without having their interest at heart. What does he expect. its garbage in, garbage out, he what he gave them, he is receiving back. so atiku would have probably thought about this day before messing up big time.

Stay there and be getting a strong bone'r over road, while your country is fast disappearing into the abyss!

Governance for some of you starts and ends with 'what he brought to my village'....no one has a pan-Nigerian outlook towards governance at the centre! Latter now, you'd be deceptively screaming 'one Nigeria' and look at me quizzically, wanting to know why i'm not joining you in your madness! sad

Bros, Atiku is nothing in the North compared to Buhari. I won't dismiss him as having no support but the fact is that Atiku is not a threat at all to PMB in the North. Even Kwanwaso would have done better. It was simply the dollars of Atiku, and the fact the PDP will always sell its soul for money, that led to the defeat of Tambuwal and Kwankwaso.
