You yourself know that you are just talking out of hate for Tinubu.
So why was Atiku contesting even when his chance is slim if he is not desperate.

Like you don't know the meaning of desperation!


Unholy alliance in politics?..okay,what is HOLY ALLIANCE? 😆

lapintoz:
Not true! With Buhari's cabal behind Atiku, he didn't need Wike. The 2023 election was 💯 Atiku. He was too naive to figure out Obi's negative impact. Else, he would have struck a deal with Obi and the rest would have been history.

But God has sympathy for Nigerians, because Atiku's Presidency would have been a Calamity. Far worse than Abacha!


I disagree. Obi was lured out of PDP just to divide PDP votes in the south, while Kwakwanso was used to divide the north votes.

In a recent interview, the former Vice President, Atiku had admitted that he had side-stepped the former Rivers helmsman, Wike for Arthur Okowa in the PDP's Vice Presidential race in 2022 because the latter placed first in the Committee's nomination process.

Contrary to Atiku's statement, Olayinka - an SSA to Wike posted what seem to be a Report of the Committee set up by the PDP then led by Iyorchia Ayu showing clearly that Wike occupied the first nomination.

I don’t expect any right thinking person to still support this government. The minimum wage was over $200 in 2014, today the minimum wage is about $43. And you still want some like me to support the same government? I have never seen an evil incarnate person like this.

Hope you are not atikulating and dropping Peter obi? because this your comment get as e be.

You and duro4chang should get a life.

The VP rejection really pained Wike like the Ministerial thing pained El-Rufai

Where is wike? I heard some news about him on X.

Did you read the post that it's not only about numbers?

U are getting me wrong....
Was he not desperate before he became president?

Atiku at 80 years is still a chronic liar, pointing to character after that sort of chronic lie, you said I pick Okowa because he was number one, that was obviously a very big lie.

lapintoz:
Where were you when Buhari printed over N50 trillion naira in ways and means? Cleaned out External Reserves to near zero. Using External Reserve USD to borrow and siphon the proceeds. Crude oil production was below 1m bpd. Massive petroleum subsidy fraud. FX Racketeering by Emiefele, Maman Daura and co. Massive crude oil theft.

Nigeria was a few months into declaring bankruptcy. Tinubu is no saints, but far better that the calamitous Atiku.

What happens when you spend what does not belong to you. . ...payback! We are paying back on Buhari's mess.

ProudBoy:
Lol. But Atiku lies a lot. That letter shows that Wike was actually number one but Atiku no just want am. He should be bold to say he doesn't think he could work with Wike and stop all these mind games. He should stop being petty.

I don’t care if you have to write this nonsense just to justify your N30k stipends but the fact remains that both Buhari and Tinubu (the devilish party called APC) ruined this country.

How do you defend a man that announces subsidies removal on the first day in office without reviewing the effects of such policies on the economy? How float the naira before setting up the economy team? Everyone except people with dead brains know that these policies caused the problem we are having today. Stop telling me Buhari did this, Buhari did that? I have never seen any president that act before thinking.

Saying that Buhari “Buhari” cleaned out external reserves to zero is just one of your beer parlor gossips. How come your president met about $38billion or thereabouts?

Let me even ask you, how old are you? Because you sounded like someone in secondary school, if not, how can you ever rate Atiku and Tinubu? Have you taken time to read about the achievements Atiku and OBJ recorded while in office? Despite meeting a near comatose country from the military, these two worked very hard to reposition the country for greatness. Is either some of you weren’t born or were still breastfeeding when they were in government. Or you were the types that believed the same lies and propaganda this delish party sold to gullible Nigerians like you.

lapintoz:
I like the way you stand logic on its head to justify your perfidious mumble jombo. My age is utterly irrelevant here.

1. The external reserve as the time your Emiefele left was down to barely $3billion when you back out the FX forwards to banks, trapped airline funds, and part of the external reserve already used as collateral with JP Morgan. So the unencumbered $38 billion foreign reserve is wishful thoughs.
2. The monumental fraud in petroleum subsidy and crude oil swap had to be stopped immediately. Divide $10 billion USD by 365 days to give you an idea of what the oil and gas parasites were pocketing. Add the petroleum products smuggled across the porous borders and we are talking over $15 billions of huge leakages in our fragile economy.
3. Yes Tinubu worked to bring Buhari to power, but we all know Buhari ran his government the way he deemed fit. Was Tinubu a member of his cabal? If anything, he was completely sidetracked by Abba Kyari and Maman Daura. Baring occasional push back, have you ever heard Tinubu complain? He is busy working to write the wrongs.
4. What was Atiku's role in OBJ'S government when OBJ made him a personal non grata in their 2nd term. Atiku used the 1st term to enrich himself....Intel is staring us in the face.
5. The gap between the official and autonomous foreign currency market was inimical to any economic development. Emiefele and the Buhari cabal were simply feeding fat on the free currency arbitrage. Only a mad man will keep that going. OBJ, YarAdua, Jonathan all bridged the gap between official and black market rate to a tiny fraction!

Tinubu could have continued and be sharing the rewards of these economic sabotage amongst his friends and cronies, but he chose not to.

I am sure your Obi would have been clueless on what to do while Atiku will have continued with the old shenanigans till the country files for bankruptcy. I tell you with all intent and purpose, amongst the choices we were left with, Tinubu is the king!

emkz:
For a veteran in presidential politics, Atiku talks too much.

They asked him about Wike, he didn't have to discuss Wike. They asked him about Akpabio. He also didn't have to.

Atiku, recall Tinubu's interview with BBC? When he was asked about supporting you or Obi, he arrogantly said he'd not support any of you because none of you was qualified.

Atiku, at the level you have attained, there are individuals you must not discuss. By doing so, you give them relevance. Instead of the president's men to be responding to you, Wike's men are using you to shine.

ibabz:
Ogbeni, I don’t buy all these your crab and bull story, it won’t change a thing that your so called president is a total failure. Looking at what OBJ met and what he was able to accomplish without imposing hash policies on the citizens then your Tinubu is a total disaster. You don’t need to applaud a failure just because he’s your kinsman. A failure is a failure qed.

Pls stop defending this nonsense. Did Tinubu meet $38b in external reserve, yes or no?

OBJ met less than $3b in the external reserve, a debt of about $60b, crude oil was less than $20b, plus other worst situations. He met Nigeria far worse than what Tinubu met, but he didn’t impose unnecessary burdens on the citizens. He didn’t increase tax, VAT, school fees, bank charges. He didn’t remove subsidies, he didn’t devalue the naira, etc.
