Can Atiku Ever Become President? by garfield1: 2:31pm On Apr 06
Atiku wasted 4 chances because of miscalculation.in 1992 sdp primaries,he stepped down when he could have forged more alliances to win the ticket..as vice president,all he needed doing was remain loyal to obj without any form of betrayal,backstabbing or dissent or ambitious moves and the ticket was his in 2007.in 2003 when majority of the pdp governors sided with him,he should have taken the ticket having in mind the vengeful and unforgiving nature of obi who now dealt him an eternal political blow.

In 2011 after gej had an understanding with the north to handover power in ,2011,he should have made a pact to support gej in exchange for 2015 ticket.even in 2014 when gej begged him,he should have remained in pdp on the condition that he gets pdp ticket in 2019 and then ask gej to drop sambo for another VP.supoorting buhari was a foolish miscalculation as buhari was going two terms and handing over power to the south.supporting gej was his surest bet.after he lost the APC primaries,he still had the chance to align with buhari..
In 2022,he could still have made obi his running mate or prevented him from decamping or contesting.but he still has slim chances in 2027 that's if obi doesn't contest and in 2031 when the ticket is back to the north...

His best chances are over...

Atiku made a lot of political miscalculations that came back to bite his butt.

Age is also no longer his best friend.

If I were in his shoe... Dubai straight. And I won't be thinking of coming back... At least not to contest elections.

He had a better and much clearer template and plans than most of the other candidates though... Including Obi and Tinubu.

Maybe "OBJ's curse" was his pitfall!

Lemme cause small trouble 😁


If Atiku contests for the next election

Well
He would lose as usual

If Peter Obi contests for the next election
With precisely calculated strategy and the right alliances and network all over the country he would have very high chance of coming second

That's with hardwork and strategy oo

BAT will win as usual
By a great distance.

Peter Obi would need serious influence to take second position from Atiku



















Now
Before you open your brain waaa and start typing all the Tinubu curses you know
I am in no way a supporter of BAT

I'm just trying to buttress how useless Elections have been made to become.
With the voting under the sun and rain all over the country.
The INEC chairman will still simply declare Tinubu as the Winner.
It happened this last election. Nobody could do any single thing about it.
The election is supposed to be the citizens power but with BAT
Y'all are powerless

Atiku has absolutely no path to Aso Rock in 2027 in as much as the desperate Peter Obi is on the ballot. With Peter Obi’s recent food and water for vote strategy, it is very clear he will contest for president again in 2027.

If the above is the case, the outcome will be exactly like 2023. Just that APC will do better in SS than it did in 2027. The north will still be divided with APC using federal might and incumbency in most northern states to win.

Atiku always has the best collection of brains working for him. His major problem is that he relies more on marabouts than he relies on political strategists.

Elections are hardly won by chance or accidents.

The only part of nigeria where votes hardly count is the niger delta. Up north, elections are a fairer reflection of the peoples will. In the southwest we have a lot of voter participation and voters are more militant about protecting the decisions. Even in the southeast, election rigging has significantly reduced.

In a nut shell, if election reaults dont count, you wont find even incumbents campaigning vigorously, and in marathons before elections.

Obi has taken his place sadly. As long as Obi is in thesame race Atiku should forget about being president. These are my reasons:

1. South East and South South which use to be his stronghold is locked down for Obi.

2. North Central is likely to be splited with Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa for Obi, though APC will do very well in Benue if the governor remains in APC till then. APC will hold down Niger, Kwara and Kogi as usual.

3. North East is likely to be splited 50/50 between APC and PDP.

4. North West to is likely to split between APC and PDP.

5. South west might be locked down totally for APC.

No. The names you mentioned now are among his nemesis. I am even referring to strategists.

I think, eventually, he abandoned them for marabouts. They were some he inherited from shehu musa yaradua, like Yomi edu. There was them Ben Ndi Obi, Dozie Ikedife, dapo sarunmi, tanko yakassai, and so on. But he allowed those other rats who were even stealing from him to displace those other ones i mentioned. Even James Ibori was once loyal to atiku. He was among the champions of the cult of pdp govs who wanted him to shove obj aside in 2003.

You are right.atiku had some of the best brains from 199-2007 but he abandoned them after 2007 and never bothered to keep touch or build his following like tinubu,buhari or kwankwaso.he believes that money is everything and with money,he can buy his way to power forgetting that loyalty is key

Going by the result of the last election, it’s wrong to claim that Peter Obi has SS on lockdown. Of the 6 SS states, he won in 3, Atiku won 2 and Tinubu won 1.

There is a strong possibility that the governors of Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa may move to APC before 2027. If that happens and with the influence of the Senate president, APC may win Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa.

Again, there is no way APC is losing Benue in 2027. The anti-Christian toga and Islamization agenda that was used to deceive North central Christians in 2023 won’t work in 2027. A lot of Christians have seen clearly that Tinubu has no Islamization again. With Akume as SGF, nothing can stop APC from winning Benue.

I agree with your other permutations.

Yes northwest and NE should be split but tinubu should win sokoto,kebbi,katsina, Kano(kwankwaso doesn't contest) in addition to jigawa.zamfara will be tight since dare is pro atiku.tinubu will still lose kaduna.

For ne,tinubu will win yobe this time.bauchi and gombe will be tighter.
Tinubu will extend his lead in NC and SW

Don't sugarcoat it with adjectives like federal might and incumbency.
Just say that the APC, in collaboration with INEC, will not just rig massively; results will be written before the election is even conducted, and Tinubu will be announced the winner in the dead of night.

You believe OBJ will have backed Atiku to be President in 2007.... Lai Lai

OBJ will never try that and Atiku got the memo early, tbh his better times are gone.

Many tend to blame Atiku for 2022 but this is wrong, the powerful PDP Govs Forum insisted that they will get the VP role otherwise they won't support Turaki.

He has no choice, within the SE PDP not even everyone was for Obi, they had their reasons.
