Bluntemperor: Look at the Association Of Deficient Comrades - ADC ! It is not good for a blind to lead other blind people o! -So,the OBJ Book 📚 titled ' My Watch' is not indictment of Corruption of Atiku ? So, Atiku's Statements few Weeks ago ' that 'if we had handled the $16-BILLIONS - DOLLAR 💰 -NEPA/ DISCOS Loan Money' -That Disappeared through his PRIVATISATION Exercises and has left Nigeria homes and Offices- in the Darkness 🌑 till today-is Not Enough Indictments ? See Jokers everywhere in Nigeria 🥳.
The jokers are the ones who fabricate stories in their balablu bulaba mind.
Where is this statement of few weeks ago?
If Obasanjo is not a wicked loser, why did he fail to prosecute Atiku, or any of his associates (if he has immunity) during his second term? What made Obasanjo endorse his multiple benefactor Atiku in 2019? Do you know?
Atiku is a saint compared to Tinubu who is the worst rogue politician.
5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’
5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors
Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book.
Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.
Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.
The definition of delusion is denial of realty. Abubakar Atiku is who the special report says he is and it is gross delusion to deny it! The deluded and shameless fellows are asking for a Judgment convicting a thief caught in broad daylight and in the open with the stolen item in his hands!
The definition of delusion is that you misunderstand press trial for court convictions.
Do you have any court convictions against Atiku or you don’t? Something like Tinubu’s forfeiture of drug lord money.
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
Codes151: Yes. I got Dangote sugar in 2006-2007. I think for 15k or 30k.
Today it’s worth 45k only. It’s rubbish.
I only bought this one because I want to sell if share value appreciate
It would be interesting to see how much it was worth in 2014 before Tinubu made Jonathan a one term president in favour of Buhari, who he called expired four years earlier.
2015 was the year we swapped PDP deregulation and privatisation policies that gave us widespread prosperity, cheap petrol and less debt burden, for APC’s akara palliative sharing extreme poverty and insecurity shege.
thisweekng: 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.” Private sector to drive the economy
gammarays: They're just after their vested interest
Who remembered rotational presidency when they ganged to remove Jonathan to bring in Buhari?
The Guinean Jagaban of Borgu certainly did not remember that, when he begged his fellow northerner Buhari to come out of retirement in 2015 to make Jonathan a one term president.
This was four years after he called the old soldier expired o, and after their demonic A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC party invited terrorists from Guinea and other countries to destroy our country.
anonimi: What group of politicians is more wicked than A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC
Racoon: Competency over rotational presidency. Then Atiku Abubarkar should stepdown to support Peter Obi
In what way is Obi more competent than Atiku? What was Obi’s contribution to the deregulation and privatisation policies that laid the foundations of PDP’s 16 years of prosperity, cheap petrol, less debt, peace and security?
Is Obi not on the same platform with Tinubu for expensive petrol and stagflation from subsidy removal?
Moreover, when did Obi become more competent than Atiku, since the wannabe Anambra godfather acknowledged Atiku’s preeminence in 2019, five years after his former Fidelity Bank protégé pushed him out of their regional party, APGA?
The Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Peter Obi has advised Nigerians not to allow few politicians determine the future of the country but see themselves as stakeholders by being actively involved in the forthcoming general election.
Mr. Peter Obi stated this while addressing members of the Igbo Community in Benin on why Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should be elected as president.
wonlasewonimi: He already said people should not vote for him if he doesn't provide electricity.
His power ministers said he has provided electricity.
Will you vote for him even though he has failed to deliver his promise of crashing petrol price below N185, just like he failed to deliver N300/$1 in the short term
We just need to keep praying the Middle East war and Russia vs Ukraine keep escalating beyond preventable measures.
If we are smart, should we not be praying for PDP deregulation and privatisation politicians to return next year and replace APC disaster that has destroyed Nigeria in the past 11 years?
anonimi: How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings
Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.
The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.
Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.
The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.
The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.
dewiseacre: I thought presidents would usually receive other presidents when they come into their countries. Who officially received Kenya's number one into Lagos, Nigeria? Is Tinubu back ni?
Ruto was received by the former Lagos French embassy intern who now runs his own country, and takes care of the Guinean Jagaban of Borgu who abandoned Nigeria for France after he fought and grabbed power, only to hit the ground running with it cluelessly like a headless pig 🐖.
givedemwotowoto: Give them a few years and they’ll have theirs while Nigeria is still struggling, if we allow Tinubu continue to give us mediocre leadership.
That’s how Korea had no cars when Nigeria engineers were manufacturing cars
What cars were Nigerian engineers manufacturing when Koreans had no cars?

Saturnalia: In Nigeria, Any investment that you see being advertised openly on Radio, T.V, News Papers and the Internet is designed to con you out of your hard earned money. The wealthy do not like competition. They like to maintain their monopoly over influence & power. Why share that Influence & Power with the dregs of the society? Investment that will make you rich & wealthy will be guarded & hoarded like a Gold Treasure. You will only hear its whispers and it will never be opened to the public.
Are bank shares not advertised on media platforms and channels?
What of shares in oil and gas companies as well as breweries?
Do you know how much dividends she was paid over the years, and how many bonus shares she got? Did you factcheck her story exhaustively?
Balablu bulaba ramblings to impress olodos may sound exciting but it doesn’t make it intelligent. Was that not how Jagaban of Borgu scammed us into All Promises Cancelled, APC one chance extreme poverty and insecurity shege in 2015, using his fellow northerner who he called expired four years earlier?
obinna58: You don’t make money investing where a lot of people are investing, it doesn’t work like that, the matrix will break down. Dangote is a thief
How is he a thief compared with the master strategist of A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC that is paying subsidy illegally importers of fuel from their Malta blending plants in his desperation to destroy the private refinery licensed by PDP as part of 2012 oil sector deregulation schemes that APC played politics with?
HenryThegreat1: Aliko Dangote, the president of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has strongly refuted allegations by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Agency (NMDPRA), insisting its diesel is 80percent superior to those currently imported into Nigeria.
The richest man in Africa said this Saturday while showing members of the House of Reps the company’s facilities.
“Until late last year, diesel imports into Nigeria were up to 7,000 parts per million (ppm) of Sulphur which has been going on for many years. Our diesel is produced currently at significantly lower levels of Sulphur; as such, we find baseless the allegation that the reason for the reduction is linked to quality. What we are producing is 80 percent of what is being imported into the country,” Anthony Chiejine, the company’s spokesperson Dangote Industries Limited said.

“Another inaccurate assertion is that Medium Level Sulphur diesel is meant for off-road use. This is a completely false statement as this would have invariably meant that all the imports for the last 20 years have been damaging equipment.
“Thirdly, diesel imports for the high Sulphur grade have been at significantly higher prices until we started operation. If indeed high Sulphur diesel is sold at lower prices how come we never saw the lower prices until now?” the spokesperson said.

Dangote proved through a laboratory test before members of the House of Reps, led by Tajudeen Abbas how the sulphur content of its diesel is within acceptable range in Africa and better than some of diesel currently available in the country.
Dangote diesel currently contains 87.6 ppm
For instance, Dangote’s laboratory officials tested diesel products from two major retail outlets in Nigeria – TotalEnergies and Matrix – against the sample produced by Dangote Refinery.
The test was carried out using a ED-XRF Spectro Photometer, using the ASTM D4294 method.
The sample from TotalEnergies’s diesel showed 1,829ppm sulphur concentration. The sample from Matrix retail showed 2,2752.8682ppm sulphur concentration while the diesel sample from Dangote Refinery showed 87.6ppm sulphur concentration.
Targets 10ppm sulphur content August
“By the end of next week, we should be on 50ppm and by August, it should be down to 10ppm,” Dangote said.
BusinessDay’s findings showed the minimum global standard is 50ppm, while 200ppm is still acceptable in Africa till the end of the year.
On Thursday, July 18, Farouk Ahmed, chief executive officer of NMDPRA alleged Dangote refinery as well as some major refineries like Waltersmith refinery, produce between 650 to 1200 ppm.
anonimi: NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024
November 26, 2025
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.
This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.
The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.
According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.
Kalvan50: lol Gaddafi, who was an enemy of America, was able to attend the UNGA unscathed in 2009. Tinubu, who has been a strong ally, would have been fine.
Goo0dHardDick: Thought as much. This one is a poll for ndi terrorists.
Terrorists poll conducted by terrorists
Are you saying that Tinubu and APC did the poll because they are the ones who imported terrorists from Tinubu’s original country of Guinea, before he begged Buhari to come out of retirement and make Jonathan a one term president
firearcher: Sadly this is Nigeria. Many really have been conditioned to think the Presidency/Abuja is the alpha and omega and the state/local government contributes nothing. The thing is it does not eventually matter who is in the presidency, if the state and local government continues to underperform, the effort at the center will not be felt.
Sadly this is unreasonable, balablu bulaba town hall conditioning.
The president alone has 53% of FAAC allocations.
36 states share 27% among themselves. This means that a governor has only 1/36 fraction of 27%
774 LGAs share 20% among themselves. That means an LGA chairman gets 1/774 fraction of 20%.

Gerrard59: lol That was #ENDSARS, and what was the result? Young people disagreeing based on imported oyibo ideologies and later on tribalism. Nothing will happen. The folks who live in that axis all have second citizenships and homes abroad. Their children live abroad. They will jet out at the slightest mass incident. It was aired even during #ENDSARS. Na middle class folks I pity sha.
Why waste one’s pity on people who don’t have any pity for themselves as they actively/passively support their own tribalistic leader looters to steal from the national cake on zoning and rotation basis at local, state and federal levels?
boxypane: I'm not just a passport carrying Nigerian, I do my due diligence in ways I can, since I I got to the voting age, I've always ensured my civil duties have been carried out aside running campaigns for good governance, cleaner environment, etc towards a better society, and working the talk. Please sir, what have you done to better your own immediate society?
The actions you are taking are good, but enlightening others to act like you is better, and that is what I do.
tammie24: There's a process in everything. Magic doesn't happen
Why has 27 years of the Chicago drug lord's master plan in Lagos failed to make any magic happen despite raising tax burden on people to grow the state budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion?
How much tax burden did Jakande place on Lagosians for his 4 years of UPN progressive magic? Is it not ironic that wicked Buhari locked Jakande up for corruption in 1984 but handed over power to the most corrupt leader looter 39 years later?
By the way, do you know what Stockholm syndrome is? If you don't know, please start your free education on the matter from the OP below:
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
boxypane: If we remove the following from the current equation/dilemma of Nigeria, laissez faire could just be wrong. 1. Fantastically corrupt individuals from decisions making positions, 2. Working decentralized government, 3. Reasonable price control policies 4. Adopt a system of workable food production plan, such as that in Morocco. 5. Functioning social welfare, then these policies will close the gap by increasing purchasing power in a favourable environment.
If WE remove.....................................what WORKS are you doing as part of the we to remove what YOU want removed
Racoon: When Gunnar Myrdal, in Rich Lands and Poor, warned that laissez-faire economics in poor nations would only magnify inequality rather than ameliorate it, he was merely articulating a timeless truth, such as the Nigerian reality continues to amplify in tragic multicolour!
Tinubu is NOT running a laissez-faire economy. He is running a voodoo economy of state capture by himself and his cronies.
That is why he is paying subsidies illegally to importers of fuel from their Malta blending plants to destroy the private refinery licensed by PDP to Dangote as part of 2012 oil sector deregulation that wicked APC politicians played politics with.
APC is filled with demonic leaders looters, who must be flushed out from Aso Rock, by every patriotic Nigerian next year.

LZAA: This teletubby and Umahi are from the same state incase you are wondering why their statements are similar It's the way nobody is even regarding Atiku as a candidate that's funny What God has destined shall be Obi will win This madness and ineptitude from the Agbado sifu must end 🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
It's funny that fraudulent Obi regarded Atiku highly in 2019 after the forever generous man rescued the naive politician from political wilderness where his former Fidelity Bank protege Obiano consigned him, after his failed attempt to be Anambra a-looter godfather like Tinubu is in Lagos.
The Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Peter Obi has advised Nigerians not to allow few politicians determine the future of the country but see themselves as stakeholders by being actively involved in the forthcoming general election.
Mr. Peter Obi stated this while addressing members of the Igbo Community in Benin on why Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should be elected as president.
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
kingjayzeelan07: Former Senate President and ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has said the presidency should move to the North after President Bola Tinubu’s second term and subsequently return to the South-East.
Why after 2nd term and not after 1st term?
By next year, southern presidents would have been on the job for 17 years unlike the north's 11 years. The discrepancy was caused by Atiku's foolish generosity and loyalty in 2003 to ingrate Obasanjo when those who made the bankrupt ex-convict president in 1999 asked him to honour his one term promise like Mandela.
There is no agreement, written or otherwise for power to rotate after two terms in our tribalistic zoning of public offices to share the national cake of corruption in local, state and federal governments.
aieromon: According to sources available to us that time, Obasanjo said he will do a single term but after that, he decided to go for second term. I was physically present at Rivers state Governor’s Lodge when the heat became too much and Obasanjo in the presence of all of us knelt down in front of Atiku begging him to allow him do a second term. I think that was how Atiku missed the opportunity by agreeing to Obasanjo’s plea. His thought was that at least, if Obasanjo completes his second term, he will hand over to him but you all know the story of Third Term Agenda and that was how they fell apart. Atiku had the best opportunity to become president in 2003 and lost it. He had the support of PDP governors then.
Around November 2002, 15 of the 21 Governors from the PDP including me, had an ad hoc meeting at my lodge in Abuja to decide who should be nominated by the Governors Committee for election by PDP as the presidential nominee for the 2003 Election.
The Governors Committee decided almost unanimously to get a new candidate instead of President Obasanjo as the Committee was of the view that because of his military background, he was intolerant of dissent and had displayed very dictatorial and vindictive tendencies against those he perceived to be independent-minded and disloyal to him.
Immediately after the Governors meeting, I led the delegation of Governors to meet the then PDP Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at his residence around 2 am.
As the leader of the delegation, I spoke and communicated the views of the Governors to the Chairman, which was that the Governors had decided not to support President Obasanjo as PDPs nominee for the 2003 General Election.
The party chairman tried to persuade us to review our decision but when he saw our resolve, he told us that he would inform the President. I was later informed by Chief Audu Ogbeh that after we left his house he put an urgent call to the President and informed him of our decision.
What then followed were intense consultations before the PDP annual convention which took place in January 2003. Two days before the party convention, the Governors had a breakfast meeting with President Obasanjo.
I recall that at that meeting, the then Vice President Alhaji Abubakar Atiku told the President in the presence of the Governors that he was known to be very dictatorial, vindictive and unforgiving. The President appealed to the Governors to support him and assured both the Governors and the party leadership that if he was allowed to continue for the second term, he would adopt a more democratic approach.
On the basis of the President's assurance, given at that breakfast meeting, I led the move for the Governors to support his presidential nomination for the second term. However, notwithstanding my support for President Obasanjo's nomination for a second term, the President after the nomination, acted very shabbily towards me.
When I met him soon after the convention, he told me that he had learned that I had put forward the view that he was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable. He then vowed that he was going to make sure that I was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable.

According to Adesanya, Atiku met the governors the first day of the convention; they urged him to leave Obasanjo and seek the nomination himself. Atiku demurred; he also deflected the suggestion that he join Ekwueme. Finally, Atiku arranged a meeting between Obasanjo and the now irate governors. The governors railed that Obasanjo was hypocritically pursuing them for corruption, while turning a blind eye to corrupt politicians within his own Administration. Atiku supported the governor's position, telling Obasanjo that significant corruption was not the exclusive ambit of the governors and that serious transgressions occurred in the executive branch: he said it would be unjust to focus exclusively on gubernatorial excesses. Assuming the role of mediator, Atiku then asked both sides to affirm their mutual support and cease the antagonism being fueled by elements that wanted to destroy the PDP. The governors agreed to bury the hatchet, if Obasanjo would shelve the dossiers. Having demonstrated his influence with the governors, Atiku continued to play coy with Obasanjo.
In the end, Atiku extracted an extraordinary concession from the President. Obasanjo agreed to relinquish the entire domestic agenda to Atiku, including the appointment of key economic policy-makers. Since Obasanjo focused on the world arena during his first term and aspired for recognition as an international statesman, Atiku said that is where he would like Obasanjo's attentions to remain. Obasanjo would serve the role of a "super Foreign Minister" and ceremonial Head of State. As Adesanya understood the agreement, Atiku would be allowed to direct domestic economic policy while Obasanjo busied himself with debt relief, NEPAD, conflict resolution and other measures to shore up Nigeria's image abroad.

The President was dazed, Abayomi recalled. Jarred by the unexpected possibility of defeat, the usually know-it-all Obasanjo eagerly solicited counsel on how to escape the closing vise. Early that day, the dominant theme was to seek a court injunction postponing the convention. Proponents suggested the delay to afford Obasanjo time to marshal support and undermine Ekwueme's momentum. However, this idea was ultimately discarded, partially because of apprehension over the public's reaction. More importantly, the push for an injunction became less urgent when the President's advisors began to sense their man was regaining ground by the hour.
The President owed much of his recovery to his own tenacity and, at times, shamelessness. He pulled out virtually all the stops to clinch the nomination, according to Abayomi. For most of that day, the President's diet consisted of liberal portions of humble pie. The President pleaded and cajoled; on at least two occasions his eyes welled with emotion as he pursued fence-sitting delegates and governors. However, Obasanjo saved his best to keep Vice President Atiku from defecting.
With rumor swirling that Atiku would opt to run with Ekwueme, Obasanjo wasted no time visiting the Vice President's residence. Obasanjo begged, declaring he would not leave Atiku's home unless the Vice President accompanied him to win back the delegates and governors. The performance had the desired effect. Atiku joined Obasanjo in publicly lobbying the conventioneers. While it might not have been Obasanjo's finest hour it was the defining moment of the convention. What had been a suspenseful contest would now turn into a rout.
