Atiku can never forget 2019 election in a hurry.

Obi refused to drop money for the campaign yet still diverted the money given to him I to private business.

Atiku knew he would have won having Obi as his VP but his experience in 2019 won't just allow him to make such mistakes again
If Obi didn't leave the PDP, Atiku would have made him his vice again.

Smh. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar needs to stop fraternizing with betrayers. Peter Obi will go down the annals of history as the biggest betrayer of his benefactor in Nigeria's political history. Now, because of this betrayal the Igbos may not stand a realistic chance of becoming president of this country for another 50 years or more.

Had Peter Obi put selfishness aside and joined hands with his boss, he would have undoubtedly succeeded him after completing 4 to 8-yrs in office. I don't think there's a more selfish and myopic Igbo man than Peter.
Igbos voted shagari did it make north vote Igbo man ?
Igbos voted tofa did it make north vote an Igbo man ?

Igbos voted yaradua did it make north vote an Igbo man ?

Igbos voted Atiku even when north didn't vote him did it make north vote an Igbo man ?


Name one Igbo man that core north has given 25%

So whats the guarantee voting Atiku would change that

Lmfao really thought Obi was the reason Atiku lost 2019 ? Is it not the talk ?

Lmfao why didn't Atiku speak up when Anambra state PDP was taken from obi ?

Why didn't Atiku assure obi he would be vice ?

Why can't Atiku nominate vice for obi and back him ?

Podium reporters is the media propaganda arm of apc that produces fake news.

Atiku taught Peter Obi the ropes? What a babablu statement!

A good name is gold. Peter Obi's good reputation made him marketable.


Peter Obi is more powerful than Atiku. Obi defeated incumbent party in Anambra and went on to win 2nd tenure.

If Atiku went to an unkown party, him and Sowore would be on same figures.
you Igbos are funny

Obi is forever Atiku boy in politics, given the intricacies of the whole Christian turn I don't think 80% of non Igbo christians would have voted Obi

Let there be election going forward between Co christians let's see how Obi would fair

Obi is a disappointment, to have gotten the entire Christian block and still failed behind Atiku that was sharing just northern block with Tinubu

Atiku should have supported Jonathan for second term and after that stand the best chance to take over.. all these mess we saw ourselves in these past 8 yrs and counting would not have come.. Atiku is a good man and looks good to rule this country..but was too impatient..

One wonders what he was thinking supporting buhari against jona in 2015 if truly he wanted to rule.. he forgot supporting buhari will most likely mean his chance will only come after 16yrs ( 8 yrs bughari north and 8 yrs of a southern).
Atiku is just a lucky politician to rise through the rank and get to the level he is politically today.

He just had to throw his full weight behind OBJ for the 2003 Presidential Election, he choose to fight OBJ for the ticket and only stepped down after Baba Dobale for him.

Nah the GEJ own even shock me pass. The only thing he had to do was to fully throw his weight behind GEJ

What did he do in 2019?

Atiku saw how strong the ticket performed in 2019, he would have surely use the same format again.

He will surely choose Obi ahead of Okowa. Okowa was useless in the joint ticket just like Datti. Obi flogged Atiku and Okowa in Delta and Edo State, Okowa suppose stronghold

Nah your personal opinion b dz, not mine.

Absolute majority of IPOB members and does who support IPOB directly and indirectly will choose Obi becoming the President or Vice President rather than having Biafra that will be made up of the 5 South Eastern State.
Re: Apprentice Gone Rogue: Why Atiku Shunned, Humiliated Obi At Bayelsa Airport by Opeyemic01:
The Platform organized by Pastor Poju every first of May, gave PO the national acceptability. Even some igbos did not like him that much because he doesn't spend any how. It was from the platform that we got to know that you can be in government and not enrich yourself, which PO exemplified. This appeal was what Atiku leveraged in choosing him as VP candidate in 2019. Atiku's undoing was not supporting GEJ in 2015. 2019 would have been Atiku's year if he supported GEJ in 2015. Obi is never a betrayal, rather Atiku used Obi's image in 2019, to clean his own name. There is no one that doesn't believe Atiku is one very corrupt government official, even OBJ says so in his book. How can Atiku want to rule as a fulani man after Buhari? How does that make sense for fragile Nigeria unity? Truth be told 2023 should have been the turn of the igbos. For fairness and inclusion no other tribe or geo-political zone in the south should have contested with the igbos. People calling PO betrayal are not making sense

wat a talk...is Peter obi the first Igbo man to run for president?
Re: Apprentice Gone Rogue: Why Atiku Shunned, Humiliated Obi At Bayelsa Airport by thirdi(m): 1:19pm On May 07, 2023
what a foolish analysis ... why did Atiku not win the previous contest with the APC. the truth remains that Obi's inquest into the presidential race was the only reason the ruling party had to show any "interest" in the election. It would have been business as usual. though I know this is just political hogwash news.

Keep quite, the blame is not on OBI, the blame is on the PDP for failing to produce a southern presidential candidate. I supported Obi, but I am glad Tinubu won because I prefer a dead Tinubu than an alive Atiku who is another northerner.
While seeking the betterment of the country, it should be just and in equity. PDP blew their chance away by themselves solely due to Atiku's Greed

I wonder how Atiku taught obi national politics. If Obi hadn't contested, I wouldn't I have believed he could secure such a percentage, though Atiku was responsible for his defeat.
Re: Apprentice Gone Rogue: Why Atiku Shunned, Humiliated Obi At Bayelsa Airport by okoloto: 2:48pm On May 07, 2023
Atiku is not a good politician then.. How does he expect the presidency to go back to the north? Politics is all about interest for politicians and so if you loose, you try again just like he has been doing since 1993. All these old politicians that don't want to leave the stage for more vibrant candidates. Obi is a better candidate if not our tribalistic, rigging approach to elections.
However let's see how jagaban will disappoint his haters.

Keep quiet there, mumu man, and who says Atiku must be president?.. since 1994,why is that some of this politician even get common sense pass this so called leaders of tomorrow..

In a sane country, man of your age is already contesting for a public office, and you are here wailing someone didn't give way for his boss ..

Odé.

You can keep the presidency for 100yrs does it change the fact that Boko Haram have come to stay with your region forever

But you guys were saying he won't win one state or even a lg,some even said he won't get up to 1 million. Tell yourself the truth obi performed beyond expectations,I never expected him to win some states in the north with the party he was running on

Gataway there.

How old were you in 2002, when Atiku, as the VP, gathered 21 state governors and attempted to supplant Obasanjo, who was the President?

So to you Obi’s desire and attempt at the Presidency, just like BAT, amounted to a betrayal? To you it was right for Atiku to bypass the standing north/south arrangement to contest the Presidency.

Maybe you do not know that the greed of Atiku cost PDP dearly.
He gathered 21 governors yet he couido anything with them

In 2019 yes but in 2023 No.


Before PDP primaries,atiku already settled for okowa.
And okowa had to use delta state fund and more he used delta state to borrow from banks for the election as a support.

No one knows tomorrow so u really do not have to say a certain ppl will not be in power for so so so years .
Nothing lasts for ever.

Atiku should go and rest.
He betrayed PDP.
Destroyed PDP and Wike gave him same treatment he gave president Gej.
If atiku had supported Gej and remained in PDP,he may v been a president by now.
So shove ur blackmail and know that atiku is the one who did himself.

Obi betrayed nobody
