United States of America based Professor of Medicine in Georgia, Prof. Emeka Umerah, has said based on facts and his antecedents of performance, only the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, among other presidential candidates can address the economic and security challenges befalling Nigeria.

 

Prof. Umerah said but for the intervention of Atiku, Nigeria would have eventually returned to the era of the dark days of military dictatorship and tyrannical rule.

Delivering a keynote address at the public declaration of support for the presidential candidate of the PDP by the Diamond Ladies in Politics, held Saturday evening in Abuja, Emerah paid glowing tribute to Atiku Abubakar over the role he played in the truncation of the alleged third term agenda of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2007.

Reminiscing the successful role played by Atiku to revamp the economy when President Obasanjo held sway, he said it behooves the electorates to elect Atiku Abubakar to address the economic and worsening security challenges in the country.

He thereby enjoined aggrieved stalwarts of the PDP to put their differences aside and work in concert to ensure the defeat of the APC at the presidential poll.

According to him: “It is now audible to the deaf and visible to the blind, the growing spate of insecurity in Nigeria. Our security challenges have now grown beyond the hitherto known activities of dissident Boko Haram terrorists. It is now as a matter of fact, hydra-headed- banditry, kidnapping, farmer-herder clashes, livestock rustling, separatist agitations, religious-related killings among others. These have threatened the country’s farming belt and now worsening the food insecurity problem that we have been plagued with since especially the past six years.

“Research has shown the fiscal effects of insecurity on the Nigerian economy. Economic analysts and available research have blamed the escalating level of insecurity for the loss of over N1.4 billion to N1.6 billion in business and commercial assets between 2015 and 2018. Daily oil production which has remained the mainstay of our economy has also declined from 2.2 million to 1.5 million barrels per day in 2018.

” The literal interpretation of all of these is that it has resulted in low government revenue generation. That is why some of the Governors are threatening that they may not pay salaries if the trend continues. On the part of the direct masses who always bear the brunt, rising poverty, inequality, and inadequacy of employment opportunities, particularly among the youths are at the centre of Nigeria’s insecurity problem. 

“Economic pundits have therefore observed that “increased insecurity in Nigeria has coincided with rising poverty levels, with an estimated 83 million people which is nearly 40% of the total population, living in extreme poverty (less than $2 per day) as at April 2022. This is a whopping 18% increase from 70 million people recorded in 2016.

“At least, Atiku’s charge on the present Nigerian authorities to go beyond issuing threats to arresting the generally dreadful and debilitating security situation in the generally dreadful and debilitating security situation in the country. He has publicly raised the alarm that the killings and general insecurity in the country had continued unabated because culprits from previous incidents were left unpunished, and this naturally generated more criminals. 

“Atiku believes that those caught in acts of criminality should not be pampered but crushed so as to set worthy examples and also serve as a deterrent. Again, only Atiku, who understands even better, the economic implications of the debilitating security situation in the country right at this worst moment, has the moral courage and mental capacity to fix the security challenges facing the country.

“There is no gainsay the fact that the challenges facing our beloved nation, Nigeria have become multifarious and more hydra-headed than it was even during our historic return to the fourth democratic republic in 1999. 

“And while not shying away from the very sincere fact that the now opposition, People’s Democratic Party, PDP failed to at least consolidate on the gains and institutional reforms began by the Obasanjo/Atiku Presidency, we cannot also ignore the more accurate fact that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has exacerbated the problem in the past over years it has held sway.

“Even when the APC promised to fight corruption, the end results is that corruption has rather become more official under Buhari’s watch. The Boko Haram it vowed to end in 2015 have birthed multiple sister security threats that are now even becoming more dangerous like banditry, ISWAP and large scale kidnappings for ransom.

As a matter of fact, their leaders who should squarely be prosecuted for crimes against humanity like Atiku has been echoing are now even receiving Chieftaincy coronations. All these have accentuated the call for a new leadership breed that can fix the country and get Nigeria working again.

“This is why pundits remain firm in their analysis that it is either Nigeria braces up to elect a bold, courageous, decisive, formidable and unifying leader- attributes that has been tested and can only be seen in an Atiku Abubakar, it may not make progress. 

“We all recall the tenacity and doggedness with which he fought against his boss’ third term agenda, not for anything but more to his firm believe that things must be done right and well even if it means falling out with certain individuals for the collective will of the masses to prevail.

” The Atiku belief in the Nigeria unity is so vehement that friends, allies, associates and even opponents will not fail but always acknowledge it.

“Therefore, the challenges facing Nigeria as a nation at this critical moment, particularly our economic quagmire finds a perfect answer in the Turaki character. Recall that he and his erstwhile boss, Obasanjo had kick-started many of the reforms that their successors have yet to consolidate on.

” One can justifiably counsel that Nigeria be returned therefore to the Atiku factory setting- the man who had one of the finest prognosis to our national issues and questions during his reign as a Vice President.”

For him, Chairman Paschal Oluchukwu Foundation, Ambassador Pascal Oluchchukwu, who was decorated as the Grand Patron of the Diamond Ladies in Politics, urged Nigerians believe in programmes and competence of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, adding that the Waziri Adamawa mean well for the Nation.

He said Atiku is the only Presidential candidate with experience to end all forms of insecurity in the country.

Among those confered with awards over their roles on the emergence of Atiku as the presidential candidate of the PDP were Senator Dino Melaye, Chairman Paschal Oluchukwu Foundation, Ambassador Pascal Oluchchukwu, Ebonyi PDP governorship candidate, Chief Odii Ifeanyi, Kogi Central Senatorial candidate, Barr. Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan.

Others include the former APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Timi Frank, Hajiya Maryam Atiku, PDP National Youths Leader, Prince Mohammed Kadade Suleiman, Director General, Atiku 100%, Kazeem Tanimu, Director General, PDP Ward 2 Ward, Hon. Ada Frederick Okwori and a United States of America based Professor of Medicine, Prof. Emeka Umerah.

This Physician need to treat himself.
Disobidient and yusless talk

The Physician is based in the US just as Atiku is based in Dubai....so both have lost torch of the reality of thing in Nigeria. Peter Obi is the only hope for a new Nigeria and we are voting him to be President come Feb 2023

Just say he is your patient, nobody would beat you..

infect i think it is better to follow peter obi .
lets be honest with ourselves for once , what has atiku got to offer Nigeria , he was there for 8 years as vice president , what did he do ? he looted and sold the nation assets to his cronies .even over the years with all his wealth ,riches and popularity , how has he been able to affect the lives of people , in his home state , what has he done ? he is close to 75 years of age .

tinubu on the other hand is even worse than atiku , if patronizing and giving political power and cover to thugs, killers and nurtw is what tinubu calls security then we are better off without him . isnt that what he has done in Lagos state, mc oluomo and co now even parade themselves as government e workers , people who normally should be in prison. lagos is now full of street gangs.
what else does tinubu has to offer ? if as the national leader of the ruling party for 8 years he couldn't effect any changes in the lives of the masses and Nigerians then he has no business becoming the president , HE ALWAYS SUPPORTED BUHARI INCOMPETENCE AT EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY AND HAS EVEN VOWED TO CONTINUE WITH BUHARI POLICIES .

it is time we have a new phase , even if peter obi will lose ,lets vote for him . let our vote do the talking we cant do with violence

OMOOBA, CAN ATIKU YOUR BENEFACTOR OPEN HIS MOUTH AND DENY EVER KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT TERRORISTS ATTACK IN THE NORTH EAST

Fantastic!

It’s good he’s an Igbo man.

The idiot is in the US enjoying a good life and good system and telling us to vote idiots to power.

But I think I understand him… he wants the country to keep going down the drain and for naira to keep depreciating so that he can use $10,000 to build a five star Hotel in Abuja.

But like that he’s supporting Atiku.

Zack Orji and his fellow infamous Actor are supporting Tinubu.

At least no one will say no Igbos supported other candidates except Peter Obi.

Foolish physician.

Can someone borrow this Professor the book of Obasanjo: Not my Will? He will be singing like Kennery after reading it. A fantastically corrupt Vice President who was selling all government properties to his friends, and has vowed to sell NNPC to his friends, is the one this professor is supporting? I hope his brain his functioning well.

You got the bold part spot on and that is why Atiku is the best of the 3 (or 4 with Kwakwanso).
Peter Obi is just another pretentious saint like Bubu disaster waiting to unleash himself on 200 million Nigerians as he did in Anambra for eight years.

Abroad based physician telling us who to vote. Why is he not staying in Nigeria.

Peter Obi is better.

A vote for peter Obi is a vote for better Nigeria.

Be OBIDIENT come 2023!!!

Why not come back to Nigeria with your family and campaign for atiku?
Your safety is guaranteed.

Obi agbero supporters will soon flood this thread and start insulting this man but had it been he praised obi those bastard would have been jubilating all over the thread, nobody have right to support his or her candidate in peace again.I keep saying it those bastard are not different from bokoharam it either you support obi or you shut up they just want to force their useless opinion on everybody

Only God know who is good for us.....

Can someone tell us Emilokan, that Olorun lomo enitokan......

APC should never be considered again for power. Whatever strategy Tinubu have, he should give it to Buhari now because sane Nigerians will stop them

That’s true. And the only one who’s most trustworthy is Tinubu. All his political associates trust him. Obi is constantly telling lies. He is a compulsive liar. Everyone knows this. He keeps jumping from one party to the other. And yet he tells you he is not desperate to lead. Why is he jumping parties ? Atiku is a confirmed thief, everyone knows that.

Tinubu that does not know is real age, maintain killer squads....I am just laughing.......

Atiku will address the economy but I don't see how he can address the insecurity

Atiku is the best man for Nigeria as of today, now tell me how many senators will Obi party wins or governors or Reps members or state house of Assembly, so he will only be a successful President over other parties that have numbers Abi,how will he pushed his policies successfully without hiccups, besides some even compared him to Donald Trump as if he contested on smaller party in US and won,when they talk about structures they don't want to listen,but they believed only their shout on social media will help them win election but their Obi will not help campaign for their governorship candidate but will want them to campaign for him only, note this that anytime you allocated messiah ship to someone that person is bound to failed

Igbo people wont call this guy a betrayer

But if na Yoruba man, wahala for don start
