Nigeria needs an energetic president, Nigeria needs a respected leader, we cannot afford a leader whose past is tainted with drugs.

After 5 marathon
events in Kaduna from Friday to Monday, Atiku arrived Paris today and is currently meeting with foreign jounarlists before his meeting with President Macron and other french leaders.

Atiku is mentally and physically fit to lead Nigeria to the promise land. With Atiku, Nigeria will take its rightful place among the committee of Nations.

May God Bless Nigeria!!!

Atiku Atiku! I supported you in 2019 because I wanted the despot in Aso Rock to be voted out!

I knew you were corrupt, but I think you had a better record on freedom of speech so that we can hold you accountable. It was a decision of the "lesser evil" that I had to make.

But you see this 2023? Peter Obi has my support, the best decision I have made on the presidency since 2015
Is there anything new? Is good to vote for whom you believe in, only that you have been a serial looser. Every candidate you support always loose, why? No need for soothsayer to know that you are still labouring in vain. When last have you voted for winning candidate, can you remember? Ok, just feel free to support whoever you like but handwriting is clear that you are labouring in vain with your current choice as usual

Atiku Abubakar is by far the most popular and the most prepared presidential candidate in this election. Beyond the fact that he was Nigeria's first democratically elected vice president under this democratic dispensation, he is the only candidate with that level of experience among all those contesting to replace Buhari and his catastrophic government that has reduced our economy to its worst state since we gained independence in 1960 and left our currency struggling for relevance with the Zimbabwean dollar.

There are certain challenges only a salary earner or one who was previously a salary earner can understand. Unlike Obi, Atiku was not born with the proverbial silver spoon. He was a salary earner at the Nigerian customs service for about 20 years and as a result, he understands the pains of salary earners when inflation strikes. This explains why he goes to great lengths to ensure that salaries that are paid at his firms can take care of families and alerts for workers salaries hits their account early enough to keep them motivated and help them take care of thier needs.

As a former civil servant himself, Atiku understands how the civil service works and the need to make government services more efficient. Nigeria today has one of the biggest civil service in the world, with over 720,000 salary earners on the federal government payroll alone. The civil service swallows more that half of the our national budget every year even though they make up less than one percent of our entire population.

With Nigerians yearning for a reform of the civil service, there is the need to elect a candidate with first hand understanding of the problems and issues that has transformed the Nigerian civil service from the engine room that drives development to a clog in the wheel of progress.

Tinubu and Obi do not have any civil service experience, they dont understand how it operates, talkless of how to reform it. In contrast Atiku Abubakar with over 20 years experience in the glory days of the civil service understands the pains of civil servants and his multi dimentional digital approach to restructuring the civil service is what our country needs to trigger the process that will transform our dysfunctional civil service to the "vaibranium" that drives development and deliver real benefits to our people.

Tinubu and Obi were two term governors of their respective states, however, you cannot compare that with the experience that comes with being the Vice President of a country of over 200 million people.

As chairman of the National Economic Council from 1999 to 2007, Atiku Abubakar was an epitome of who a Vice President should be. His passion for a better and prosperous Nigeria is evident in the caliber of technocrats and specialists he personally convinced to return to the country and join hands with the government to develop our country.

As head of the Economic Management Team, Atiku and his team which included the current Director-General of the World Trade Organization Dr.  Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, successfully renegotiated and paid off Nigeria’s entire debt with the Paris Club before the current disaster's in government plunged our unborn children into the biggest debt trap in the history of our country with about ₦50 trillion in debts hanging over our necks.

Under Tinubu's lackeys in Lagos, the story is not different, because despite the huge internally generated revenue it rakes in every month, Lagos sits at the top of the list of highly indebted states in Nigeria with nothing to show for it.

When it comes to the private sector experience, Abubakar towers above Tinubu and the upcoming Obi by miles. Atiku co-founded INTELS, one of the biggest oil and gas/ports logistics firms in Africa. His other business are huge job creators that employs more people than many state governments in Nigeria.

Tinubu on the other hand has no real businesses beyond negotiating a slice from your tax and prompting his rubber stamp state assemblies to legalize his tax collection illegalities.

Obi as a business man is mostly interested in importing from foreign countries and taking away jobs. Some of his rookie economic policies will shut down half of our manufacturing capacity in less than 100 days if they are ever implemented because it does not factor in critical aspects of local production.

Perhaps one of the major reason most Nigerians are queuing behind the Atiku presidential bid is his sterling records as Head of the National Council on Privatization, which oversaw the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises into highly successful and profit making ventures.

This action led to the influx of new and badly needed investments in vital sectors of our economy triggering massive growth in our GDP and the highest creation of new jobs ever witnessed in our country.

In addition, his efforts at transforming the telecomunications landscape completely changed how we do things today. Before the Obasanjo-Atiku era mobile phones were a luxury because the 350,000 available telephone lines provided by the then inefficient NITEL was grossly inadequate to cater for our massively growing population.

As Vice President and head of the economic team in Nigeria, Atiku inaugurated a 22-member Telecommunications Sector reform implementation committee, charged with the responsibility of facilitating greater access to phone services for Nigerians. His team went on to facilitate and supervise the licensing rounds for GSM licence in Nigeria conducted by the NCC under the leadership of Engr Ernest Ndukwe whose appointment as the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the NCC was facilitated by Atiku.

Thanks to the patriotism and dedication of Atiku and his team, the mobile connection you are most likely using to read this article and the over 188 million registered mobile lines in our country are helping to improve the ease of doing business, create jobs and open the global space for young Nigerians to unleash their talents and support the development of our country.

In 2019, we lost an opportunity to take back our country because some criminals manufactured non-existent votes and brought in a 'black market Justices" to legalize an illegality in plain sight.

In 2023, armed with the new Electoral Act and increased awareness of what the enemies of our nation can do, let us rise as one irrespective of tribe, religion or political leaning and support the most experienced candidate to help take back and restructure our nation for the benefit of our people and generations unborn.

I never know civil servants could make so much money after 20 years in service .

Atiju understands this and that yet he failed to understand the potential effects of stealing and cornering what should belong to the people for himself and how this in itself is a crime before man, God, and the worst motivation anyone could ever have to deal with...

Nonsense.

It's just a pity that one of the ones pretending to the throne right now will eventually win it.

Thanks to the patriotism and dedication of Atiku and his team, the mobile connection you are most likely using to read this article and the over 188 million registered mobile lines in our country are helping to improve the ease of doing business, create jobs and open the global space for young Nigerians to unleash their talents and support the development of our country.

In 2019, we lost an opportunity to take back our country because some criminals manufactured non-existent votes and brought in a 'black market Justices" to legalize an illegality in plain sight.

In 2023, armed with the new Electoral Act and increased awareness of what the enemies of our nation can do, let us rise as one irrespective of tribe, religion or political leaning and support the most experienced candidate to help take back and restructure our nation for the benefit of our people and generations unborn.

I don't have issues with Atiku but for unity of the the country a northerner can't take over from another northerner after 8yrs. Would the north allow other regions to do same?
This makes him automatically disqualified.
