Former Presidential Spokesman, Reno Omokri has given Nigerians a hint on some of the things former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential candidate for the 2023 polls, has achieved both in personal life and in past office held.
In a YouTube video included sighted by 2023.ng, titled “What has Atiku achieved?”, Reno Omokri said;
Atiku led the economic team that paid off Nigeria’s debt, privatized the telecom sector, and cement industries, that exploded our GDP and created jobs and brought in technocrats into Government. “He chaired the National Economic Council that introduced the GSM into Nigeria, while stabilizing Nigeria. He pushed for the creation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and gave that corruption fighting body their first grant, from his budget, because they were created in between budgets. He led the Obasanjo administration’s effort to restore peace and re-establish law and order during the Sharia crisis of 2000.”
Furthermore, Reno Omokri said Atiku “in his private life, co-founded one of the largest oil and gas, and ports logistics service firms in Africa in the 80s.”
He also said that “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar through that company and other companies in his Priam Group of Companies, personally employs more people than many State Governments.”
Reno Omokri told Nigerians of how Atiku is the proprietor of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola in Adamawa State; “which is one of the best private universities in Africa, as well as the first American-style university in Sub-Saharan Africa.” According to Reno Omokri, through American University of Nigeria (AUN), Atiku has given full scholarship to over hundred students including some of the #ChibokGirls.
“He (Atiku) loves education and he would fund ASUU,” Reno Omokri said.
PrinceOfLagos: Tinubu has been crying all over the place saying what is not about Buhari and the northern politicians because he feel they betrayed him .. This clearly shows that Tinubu has bitter ill feelings for the north but hide it because he needed the northern support he hated so much to actualize his long dream ambition.
I am happy that Tinubu has now showed his true hateful feelings about the north and so for this, I will whole heartedly support president Muhammadu Buhari on any punishment he melts out on Bola Tinubu for this recklessness.
Tinubu's selfishness was written all over his speech. He said presidency is not only for the north,and it's the turn of Yoruba as if he was fighting for justice and equity. Now when is the turn of the Igbos? Somebody should ask him.
Sammy07: Dapo fired the first shot by openly saying it there that he supported Osinbajo. Even if he's supporting him, he should have made it low key. Not openly where he is.
Or has he forgotten how Amosun/Amosun supporters humiliated both Him, Buhari and Tinubu at the stadium then?
Is a sin to openly support Osinbajo in tinubu's present, but when other support tinubu and even west his cap in present of Vic president Osinbajo you people will heal them. Shame unto you hypocrite
SenatePresdo: I'm Pro Russia, but Russia is performing Below what people expects of them.
After 100 days fight with Ukraine, they are only able to control 20 percent?
That's underperformance.
Lol. Russia is not fighting war with Ukraine, if they were they would not have to even step on Ukraine before blowing off kyiv,because it war. But what they are doing is military operations and to have occupied 20% in 3 months speak volume of their might. How many countries have US occupied? They went to Vietnam and lost,went to Afghanistan and lost,give kudos to Russia.
Diligent1: Tinubu created LAMATA, LASTMA,LAWMA,RRS etc. When I was in SS3 he was the governor of Lagos State, he paid for our exams through out Lagos State. When I was in higher institution there were some bad students that were disturbing the school, Tinubu was the governor then, we went to his office in Alausa, immediately he took action they rusticated the bad students everybody was happy even the lecturers.
He is not tribalistic, go to government offices in Lagos State you will see other tribes working there even in Lagos State House of Assembly. His wife is a Christian, this man is an International Chattered Accountant and a Business Guru. Tinubu has plans for the youth, he will create jobs for the youths, this is an opportunity for us youths. Tinubu will also appoint qualified people to work with him. He will reform our economy. This is an opportunity for us to give Tinubu a chance to reform our economy. I hope to meet him one day, I strongly believe in him. Let's vote wisely.
He also built the hospital that treat him in lagos whenever he is sick, you didn't add that brother.
I am surprised and almost moved to tears as I see intelligent celebrities endorsing Peter Obi and the surprising thing is they are not asking for his 1naira, they even going as far as campaigning for him with their hard earned money.
I have never seen this kind of love for a politician in Nigeria before.
As it stands now it's Peter Obi and well meaning Nigerians against corrupt few politicians.
The few celebrities that I have seen so far are.
Peter Okoye
Deacon famous
African china
ILL bliss
Bovi
And many other celebrities and well meaning Nigerians.
If only the Northerners can see beyond tribal and religious sentiments and join us in the quest to change the country for good.
The wind of Peter Obi is uncontrollable and unstoppable.

seunny4lif: Every day, 321 people are shot in the United States. Among those:
111 people are shot and killed 210 survive gunshot injuries 95 are intentionally shot by someone else and survive 42 are murdered 65 die from gun suicide 10 survive an attempted gun suicide 1 is killed unintentionally 90 are shot unintentionally and survive 1 is killed by legal intervention* 4 are shot by legal intervention and survive 1 died but the intent was unknown 12 are shot and survive but the intent was unknown From USA data
Funny thing is that in Every Swiss citizens owns at least 1 gun yet the only time a gun was fired in Swiss was in 2010, in front of the palace. Once you are 18 years then you automatically own a gun in Swiss. It’s only in Swiss, they have beer and gun culture. Shooting and drinking beers with children around not been afraid of getting hit
Wetin be swiss? If you wan mention Sweden mention an,and if you wan mention Swizaland mention am,non dey confuse us.
thesicilian: You see them looking all hot and glamorous on the outside, but when they remove their clothes, you'll almost want to puke. Why are women so unsatisfied with their natural bodies?
The mark from the surgery self is a turn off for me,I wonder why this girls takes delight in doing it.
Joezinho: And the troll called Ednut won't get insulted. Lol. Infact, he's gonna be knighted in Alaigbo Parish.. But let Olawale Ashimi aka Brymo who lyrically is the best vocalist, alongside Asa and happens to be one of naija's most talented artiste this decade with over 7 successful albums should endorse his choice candidate, some retardded rejects sharing the same single I.Q digits with Peruvian iguana would drag him...
A response to attention-craving gobshites would only occur after the second coming of Jesus..
Why should somebody want tinubu with questionable source of wealth to become president?

EfonAlaaye2023: only agbero people like Tinubu, Tinubu has eaten deep into the destinies of lagosians including me,but we have to like him because he gave me job as an agbero.
EfonAlaaye2023: Ambode almost send your kinsmen out of Lagos before Tinubu cut shot his excesses hence you igbo should turned Tinubu to idols than that idiot getting you cow killed in Killing East
If Ambode nearly cut igbos out of Lagos let igbos worry about that,why are you pushing it on them? Well,you're to myopic to see beyond tribe,that's why anybody that says anything you don't like about tinubu automatically become Igbo.
TechBIogger: [s]The notorious Canceller on politics section has finally been put to his place. After receiving numerous complaints of his cancelling activities on this forum, Seun finally removed the strike through feature from nairaland. Henceforth, no nairalander can strike through (cancel out) people's posts. It was necessary to tame that troll that lacks respect for people's political opinions but rather takes it personal and even goes as far as defaming and blackmailing his targets all because of political differences[/s].
Tinubu that y'all hate is a detrabilize leader than Osibanjo, While Tinubu give room for Igbo and other tribe political participant In Lagos political and civil service, Ambofe tried to cut that off, you know what? that Ambode was supported against Tinubu among others
Osibanjo is a sectionalized leaders, someone who dine with the elites, someone who want to build his own empire with the range of elites
Osibanjo is a very intelligent man and no doubt that he will performed but we always do the bidding of Northerners because of second term,
Tinubu on the other hand is like Obj, while but Obj was pursuing Third term hence doing the bidding of Northerners, Tinubu that I know we correct the abnormalities of Nigeria political space that favour Northerner than southerner
Peter Obi is also another example that can do that but the memory of 1966 coup could triggered Northerners to retreat
the fear of Northerner is how radical Tinubu can be, Tinubu second term might restructure Nigeria. all southerners must support this man, we can tend to handover our destiny in the hand of this aboki that only understand politics but lack good governance
This one go bring in Ambode from nowhere. Oga rest.
Themainboy22: Despite the fact they are both yoruba, Osibanjo being younger, healthier, more educated and would possibly do better than the former?.
How did you arrive at this? Don't mistake those APC members working for their stomach with Yoruba abeg. On a general election between tinubu and Osinbajo tinubu go collect wotowoto anyday,anytime.
Bragalane: Foolish igbos on NL keep opening endless thread on NL about tall Yoruba giant your fathers Azikwe Ekwueme Nzeribe Ojukwu etc couldn't stop their shine. Tinubu did not help Buhari yet he nominated the VP.
Nan them be this. Counter op argument with facts,insult is not needed here.
HardMirror: Tinubu supporters have always acclaimed the political genius Tinubu is. How without Tinubu, Buhari can never become president, How tinubu ensured Buhari won.
How True is this. To get the truth, we have to look at the facts, to get the facts we have to look at the records.
2007 In 2007 Tinubu and Atiku aligned against Obasanjo and Yaradua. They spent money, played all their cards but still lost to Yaradua. Not only did they lose, Atiku came a distant 3rd. Yaradua had 24.6 Million votes BUHARI HAD 6 million votes ATIKU WITH TINUBUS HELP ONLY HAD 2.6 million votes. Buhari had 4million votes more than tinubu and atiku could get without spending the money tinubu and atiku spent So tinubu proved to be a light weight in national politics in 2007.
2011 Tinubu regroup again in 2011 with his ACN party and presented Nuhu Ribadu. How well did they do? Jagaban was only able to get 2million votes where Buhari without the money and Media strategies of Mr. Tinubu got a whopping 12 million votes. JONATHAN WON WITH 22MILLION VOTES!
Again Tinubu failed woefully in 2011, he even got lesser votes than in 2007. But Buhari got double the votes he had in 2007. Showing that Buhari was getting more popular and stronger.
2015 2015 was finally the year that projected tinubu to the status he hold till date. It is believed that tinubu helped Buhari win. BUT DID HE? Let us look at the results again. LAGOS AND OSUN STATE ARE THE 2 STATES COMPLETELY UNDER TINUBU YET BUHARI ONLY WON NARROWLY BY ABOUT 100,000 VOTES IN BOTH STATES. TINUBU could not deliver massive votes for Buhari in the Entire SW. It was embarrassing. Buhari only managed to win GEJ thanks to KANO, KATSINA and KADUNA. Where he massively floored GEJ. If not for Buhari's popularity in the North, he would have lost as he only narrowly won GEJ.
Please note that TINUBU had zero influence in the states that gave Buhari massive votes in 2015.
GEJ HAD PDP CRISIS AT THAT TIME HEADED BY OBASANJO WHO LEFT PDP. not tinubu.
North felt Yaradua did not finish his tenure and a northerner must continue not GEJ.
CHIBOK GIRLS kidnap also was a big factor that tarnished Gej as incompetent.
In all this Tinubu had almost no positive contribution that helped Buhari win.
He paid media and people to go online and start spreading the news that he was the master mind behind Buhari winning. Buhari had always been bigger than tinubu in national politics and the results are there for all to see. Tinubu could not even deliver for Buhari in 2015
God bless you op. Question I have always been asking. They keep deceiving people, giving tinubu credit he does not deserve.
