Atiku Under Fire For Telling Northerners Not To Support Yoruba Or Igbo Candidate As President.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has come under fire over his statement at a political event.
Naija News reports that Atiku, during an Interactive Session with Arewa Joint Committee held on Saturday in Kaduna State, said Northerners need to vote for him because he is a Pan-Nigerian with a northern extraction that has built bridges across the country.

The former Vice President said Northerners do not need any Yoruba or Igbo candidate as the next President of the country in 2023.

He had said: “What the average Northerner needs is somebody who’s from the north and also understands that part of the country and has been able to build bridges across the country.

This is what the Northerner needs, it doesn’t need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate, I stand before you as a Pan-Nigerian of northern origin.”

Following the development, some Nigerians took to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter to slam the former Vice President for propagating ethnicity at the event.

While his supporters and PDP members defended the statement, saying the PDP presidential candidate was misquoted.

Not they believe, no matter what Atiku or any northerner says about Southerners, South will still give Atiku more votes than what the core north will give to a Southerner percentage wise. Southerners are just too foolish. I don't know why

Empty brain as usual, zero knowledge about security, economy, technology and yet he wants to become the president by propagating tribalism and ethnicity.

Moribund human waste.

Too much stolen money in one man's hand is dangerous.........

I watched the interactive session and I was shocked beyond words....the things that were coming out of Atiku's mouth...I knew without doubt that he will be on fire this morning for such careless statements.

At this point Atiku should just kiss his Presidency goodbye and take a bow

Atiku will still get millions of votes from the south esp South-South. I can bet anything on this. I don't know why people in the South lick ass of northerners while northerners see them as trash.

Tribalism is a normal thing
If he can get 80% votes from north and get like 20% vote from south boom he becomes presido
And guess what North never like South
So to win the vote he went to wake the hate they have for South that way 80% vote is certain
Nice Move Baba

Atiku has more enemies among Nigeria's power elite than elsewhere.
As for every southerner and middlebelter, just keep in mind that RUGA is why you should fear Atiku.
Your land is at stake.
Atiku is Buhari pro-max.
Even if your hatred for your fellow southerner is driving you mad, think about your land and your children.
