Atiku Abubakar, an irredentist, perennial presidential candidate has contested every presidential election primary or election proper since 1992. He has never stepped down for anyone or worked for the success of anyone else. He is the only candidate with that unenviable record.

At every point, to him it's always the turn of the north,and he must be the north. His supporters claimed he said if the PDP ticket was zoned to the SE he won't contest but he has never said such to the open, never supported a SE aspirant so knowing who he is, we know that's a lie. A man who is not fazed that in a multi cultural Nigeria with obvious fault lines, he is pushing as a northern Fulani Muslim to replace another northern Fulani Muslim after 8 yrs without considering the other 250 ethnic groups especially in the south. He must think those others are sons and daughters of lesser gods than his own god.

But the reality has dawned on Atiku that this is going to be the worst outing of PDP ever in the South East due to the Peter Obi phenomenom. In the south south like Edo which traditionally votes PDP in presidential, Obi has totally obliterated PDP support such that permutations now are that Atiku will come third behind Obi and Tinubu cos of the votes APC will get in Edo North, Oshiomhole being on the Senate balot. In Delta where his VP is from, only a strong structure backed up with the huge financial war chest of Delta State treasury would narrowly deliver him from Obi embarassment. Of course his fallout with the G5 governors means he would get far less votes from their states. Now in d vote-rich south west. Tinubu being on d balot virtually means nothing for him. He would come third in Lagos cos the Ibos that used to vote PDP would now vote Obi, a disaster for him. So how would he emerge president?

Only hope is in the north. But the north is a well knit political enclave whose voters follow a pattern as agreed by their leaders. He is not a populist like Aminu Kano or Buhari who engendered organic grassroots support and bypassed the structure. He is a status quo man who the masses have always known as a status quo man so unlike Buhari he cannot bypass the political structure. So he places his hopes on a cabal in Aso Rock. The cabal failed woefully to deliver their favourite as d APC candidate and up till now have failed to deliver anything politically. They first tried treachery to place Tinubu against Buhari and the northern govs by sponsoring all sort of divisive narratives but the govs stood resilient and when they realized that has failed, they have thrown their last card - cause chaos and revolt on the northern poor through naira scarcity and perhaps prolonged fuel shortages to cause a revolution that would incite the voters in favour of Atiku.

It is interesting to note that Atiku who initially pretended to support an extension changed to fight against such after El Rufai publicly blew the cover of the antics of the cabal. But Atiku does not mind that the people are hurting and that many in the north by this policy would be thrown into generational poverty after many years of hard work. He has chosen to side with the cabal against the people for his ambition, he has now owned the policy and henceforth Atiku Abubakar is the political face of the implementation of the naira redesign policy. It's his last hope for what he has coveted since 1992. But he is fighting against a very disciplined political structure in the northern APC governors who also have removed their gloves and gone for broke. The man on the APC ticket, a known fighter and winner has removed his gloves too. Kwankwaso, d man with huge support base in Kano also is not seeing eye to eye with Atiku on this. The only quiet man is the ever gentle Peter Obi, these kind of dirty fights are not his to fight after all na dem dem, or so he thinks. Time will tell, we have barely two weeks to go.

if you think Tinubu will win Atiku in the north then you must be joking

We concerns citizens will lunch a protest in support of the changes of Naira also

We will go to where they use transfer, if she won't upgrade then she should fold up

WannaHowzit:
You're back to shopping in poop filled open-air markets instead of air-conditioned malls with escalators like everyone else in the modern Africa the AU envisions.

did they remove the A.C from ShopRite when going because am still typing from the mall and we don't even notice ShopRite has left, so basically it's about us and not them

You haven't been to South South b4, so stop stressing urself, we south South will always vote along with the East

pquaver:

These days everyone feels like they are something worthy of an opinion. Like they truly have a voice.

Protest in France, UK due to inflation. Egg is scarce in UK, shortage of baby-food in US, Argentina inflation rate is nearing 100% , Germany, Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador are fighting pre-covid survival due to high cost of living.

Yet our Bunch of irrelevant political tools disguising as yeyebrities are using the country's situation to invoke cheap attention.

But they are never at fault. People like the OP that gives credence and attach importance to what clowns like this failed comedian Mr macaroni or forgotten musicians like Psquare brothers says, is the culprit here. People who lacks basic knowledge on how to run even the commonest POS business will always want to chase-clout by criticising those running one of the biggest country in Africa.

Nonsense and ingredient.

shut up, you just giving excuse even when things are clear to the blind, all these countries you mention, which one is suffering like Nigeria, if Egg shortage happens to be our major problem just like UK, then I will gladly be proud of Nigeria, all those countries you mention have few problem but Nigeria has all round problem

Okoroawusa:

Keep going into the North, u already have the South South and South East in the bag then add few middle belt state

We won't win here, from a reliable source, Atiku has Zamfara state but we can get our 25% here

25% sure for here

TheNiceGuy:
No be me and you dey queue to get the money, politician dey suffer?

Why always the west, most we always have issues around the west

Lubumbashi:
The CBN governor has calmed all nerves by saying banks will continue to accept old notes even after the deadline so no problem.

do you read at all ?

It's well

The 1st person to insult thiefnibu is a lagosain like me, urchins said Tinubu has 25% in Anambra, if he get 25% in all other state then except the west which he can get at least 60% will that make him president or you think about will vote for tinubu over Atiku ?

Honourable1901:
Masari don't let baba write letter again

Na only failure dey endorse failure

so a former president is a failure,in your Generation nobody will be closer to even in house help not even you

Then why are you worried about him supporting Obi, I thought you all said we are 4 Twitter people making noice, how come you guys are having sleepless nights about obi

They are questioning Adeleke certificate but keep mute when we talk about Tinubu certificate, Nigeria is funny

Them don threaten to open him case file

Ok

seunmsg:
This is a welcome development. The unending crisis in Akwa Ibom PDP should give APC the opportunity of winning the state. I just hope the APC governorship candidate in the state is popular and strong enough to use this opportunity to flip the state.

funny you, APC is not even in the equation

Ok

Unah don start oh

shiki:
INEC should extend the date for the PVCs collection

they have done that

Liar
