Paul Ibe, media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has slammed Senator Adams Oshiomhole over comments against his principal.

DAILY POST reports that Oshiomhole while featuring on Channels TV at the weekend, claimed that Atiku “allowed himself to be consumed by politics”.

Ths lawmaker was reacting to a previous comment by Atiku Abubakar, who slammed President Bola Tinubu over his recent trip to Plateau State for the burial of the mother of All Progressives Congress APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.

According to Atiku, Tinubu has no empathy for Nigerians who are being killed across the nation by terrorists.

Addressing Atiku’s comment, Oshiomhole said, “I have sympathy for Atiku. He has allowed himself to be consumed by politics.”

Responding to the verbal attack on Atiku, Paul Ibe in a post on his official X handle on Tuesday said Oshiomhole is only afraid of the former VP.

He wrote, “I have sympathy for Oshiomhole. He is tailoring sycophancy with a designer touch and has allowed himself to be consumed by the hate and fear of @atiku.”

Osho baba knows that Nigerians are done with APC but instead of calling the attention of his party he is attacking whoever speaks out against the suffering in the land or chooses to contest the presidency

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

Failing since 1993? Maybe you have a different definition of who a failure is. Do you want to tell us please?

Lack of information should not be displayed publicly with arrogance.

Since 1993, Atiku became the leader of PDF, late Shehu Musa Yaradua’s political machine. That machine got him the governorship of Adamawa state in 1999.
Atiku was needed to secure northern votes when OBJ contested the presidency in 1999. He helped OBJ become the President and he in turn was the vice for two terms.
OBJ begged him for survival in 2003.
Atiku is a very wealthy Nigerian and except by an act of God, will never know poverty in his life.
He owns among others, the American university in Adamawa. He’s a player in all major sectors of the economy, including maritime.
He has installed governors, Kings and leaders. He commands governors, Kings and leaders.
He is a family man with wives and children.
He is recognized locally and internationally.

Take your time to read Atiku’s profile and tell yourself the truth. If not becoming the President is considered by you as a failure, then you definitely need to try to contest as a councillor in your ward to tell us how it feels like.

Tell us how he is a failure.

‘How Atiku saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president’‘

A new book has revealed how former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, saved ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president in 1999.

According to the new book, entitled ‘’Too Good to Die: Third Term and the Myth of the Indispensable Man in Africa,’ Atiku made all his resources available for Obasanjo’s presidential campaign.

The book, written by former chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, and Ayisha Osori, author of ‘’Love Does Not Win Elections,” also revealed how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 1999 election.

Quoting an account from Atiku, the authors said the trio of Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma and Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted PDP to adopt Obasanjo as their presidential candidate “because they considered him the best person for the job.”

“Implicit in their position was their belief that they knew how to manipulate Obasanjo and the fact that Obasanjo did their bidding in 1979. They felt secure that he could be managed again,” the authors wrote.

Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.

“When Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General (Aliyu) Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.

“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

Make we hear word, jare, same Obj that ended up detesting this same Atiku, he is a political failure.

It’s not just Atiku that Obasanjo did a bad thing in 2007 after his magnanimity four years earlier to resist northern pressure to make Baba Iyabo a one term president. Obasanjo also did bad to 200 million Nigerians by denying us of the business and economic capacity of Atiku, which was crucial to the success of their administration.

2003 was the first time that Buhari asked us for the job of president and failed.



2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

- A political failure and he won the governorship of his state.

- A political failure and your OBJ singled him out of five contenders in 1999, to facilitate his election as the President.

- A political failure and OBJ knelt to beg him to remain as the President in 2003.

- A political failure and yet the Vice President for two terms.

If that is how you define a political failure, then you should surrender yourself to be used as a research in understanding of words abeg.
