Most comments so far support what he's saying ... to snatch or maintain power divide and conquer has been proven to be most effective. He is warning us about it ...but yet we remain blind. So many are against his message because he is not if their party ...tribe..or religion. They have not attached his message ....but attacked him.

When you can't attack the message ....attack the messenger Puppets everywhere.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has been in Nigeria's political space for a very long time; and I expect that he should understand what it means when people say the south still has four more years to complete the southern presidency, based on the principle of power rotation between northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria. Failure to recognize this is considered greedy on his part.

Therefore, the coalition should support a southern candidate in the person of Peter Obi. I still believe a Peter Obi/El-Rufai or Peter Obi/Kwankwaso ticket will dislodge Tinubu even before 5pm on election day.

My take
Two terms will be an issue of interest to the north, so, I prefer Jonathan/el-rufai ticket

What are you going to do differently that is the most important thing because the subsidy removal and floating of naira that Tinubu is implementing that brought present hardship is what you too promise to implement if voted for. Maybe the only difference is that you are going to sell off NNPC but nitel and NEPA you sold when you're VP,nitel has died while NEPA is on life support.

You are a bad leader who can't unite your party.

The problem which started before the election is still lingering on in 2025

If you can't unite ordinary your party, then drop the ambition of becoming Nigeria president as you would be terrible in conflict resolution
I must say this is probably the 1st statement by Atiku that actually sounds like a proper opposition leader….like someone who was actually a vice president of a country. Ofcourse he will say Tinubu has acheived nothing…that’s the job of an opposition leader. But. This is the 1st statement he has released that isn’t petty and unbecoming. It seems he has finally learnt how to talk like an opposition leader instead of releasing statements in order to keep up with Obi. Though not original, I also acknowledge how he is now framing the election as a battle between Tinubu and Nigerians. Maybe he has finally realizes copying Obi’s attention at all costs, gutter, brain dead, race to the bottom style will only lead him to the gutter and he must set the example for Obi not be led by Obi in his public statements. Uptill now it had seemed he just make statements because Obi made a statement and not to be forgotten.


That said, nothing for him! 2027 is a done deal!

Aptly said my bro. Beside Atiku is NOT a politician at all, he doesn't know the game of politics is just been fortunate to have climbed higher in shortest riding of political legacy of Yaradua and co.

The moment he failed to choose VP right and also allowing Peter Obi to leave PDP in last election , I knew that the man is da*t. Politics is about give and take and strategic calculation. This is completely lacking in him. He only believed in power of bribing the delegates to get ticket any other things is zero politically.

Someone on this forum said Tinubu should appoint Peter Obi as CBN Governor so that Obi can rest, I laughed.


Peter Obi that owns a majority share in a popular Nigerian bank legitimately with plenty other thriving businesses in and outside Nigeria is who you want to appoint as CBN Governor under a known corrupt man who was never elected President legitimately via the polling units?

Obi is richer than Bola Tinubu if you take away looted money or Lagos treasury.


Peter Obi is not contesting to become President of Nigeria to make money, whatever money that comes from it is just a jara.


As someone close to PO, let me divulge a secret to you guys here, Peter Obi is contesting to become President for three main reasons:


1.) To leave a legacy of being the President that changed the direction of Nigeria by transferring political power from corrupt old politicians to qualified youths from all regions of Nigeria including those living abroad. And refocusing Nigeria from being a consumption based nation to a production based Nigeria through massive human capital investment development of Nigeria's youth population, mechanized agriculture, technology and innovation.



2.) Peter Obi want to return peace to Southeast and stabilize Southeast, end the decades of political marginalization of Southeast so that agitation for secession by Igbos can stop, so that he can be remembered for good by Igbos.


3.) To make Northerners and other Nigerians understand that they made huge mistake sidelining Igbos in national politics and not allowing a credible Igbo person emerge Nigeria's President by being fair to all regions of Nigeria and making sure every region harness the best of the resources they are blessed with; massive investment in agriculture for North, etc, and massive investment in Tech with a focus on Lagos, Oyo, Edo, Enugu and Plateau.



Total revamping of Nigeria's health sector through investment in Nursing and medical colleges so they can produce more competent healthcare professionals that Nigeria can export abroad to earn forex.


4.) He wanted to end insecurity with a secret plan I will not share here.



Nigeria missed a lot sha, God will help una for there.



Meanwhile, if Atiku and El Rufai truly want to bury Bola Tinubu's 2027 Presidential ambition, they should hurry up and announce Peter Obi as their preferred Presidential candidate for the coalition, making it clear that Northern Nigerians will throw their support behind Obi in order to rescue Nigeria from poverty, insecurity and eventual collapse due to nepotism of the incumbent President.


Once they do this and start massive orientation of their people in the North, Tinubu will become a gunner, Tinubu and his allies will be thrown into confusion because no amount of rigging will make Tinubu win once this is done.


But if Atiku thinks he can be the Presidential candidate of the so called coalition, then they should be assured that Tinubu will win hands down even without rigging.



Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential election, if Atiku, El Rufai and the rest of the North back him in 2027, no matter the rigging, Tinubu will go nowhere cool
That is the problem I have with you obidients, you like to spew nonsense. How did obi won 2023 election, you cannot explain..something that is not possible both theorically and practically. OBI and Atiku messed up last election, instead of them merging they now split their votes into two.. Stop saying nonsense
Re: Atiku Speaks On Defections Of Some PDP Members by Jay1jay2: 6:48pm On Apr 25, 2025
They are more concerned about party and personal interest instead of what they will do for the general public .

I use to support Mr Atiku but now I think his time is up,leave the stage for younger ones. In life you can't have it all.

Nigeria is this way because there is no accountability, it is a wild habitat where everyone rolls the way they like. I pray that God will let me see a better Nigeria.

What we need is a better Nigeria which none of these known recycled politicians can build.

The day we realise this is the day we will make progress as a Nigeria. Nigeria does not need Tinubu, Obi, Atiku, Kwakwanso or any other politician. Nigeria needs somebody new outsides these politicians.

atiku may not be my favorite person but what he has said is nothing but the truth. What has tinubu done to improve the country since he assumed power?
And what has Atiku done for his 8 years as VP other than selling national assets to himself and his friends?

Or you think Obasanjo doesn't have evidences when he wrote in his book that Atiku was a big thief? Has Atiku sued Obasanjo for calling him thief? My guy, we're not children born in 2000+

Not only him, they are many. But he's no different from Tinubu who should have let someone else run and remain the godfather he claimed to be but godfather sef Wan hustle. They are all hustlers. It's all about their bellies not the nation. Have you forgotten when they revealed Tinubu wanted to be Buhari's vice and he objected because it was Muslim Muslim? Shey they said he is the Guardiola of political talents, he can select like Ferguson and mentor like Zidane. It's all packaged lies, thank God he is now President and we can see him for who he is. Those who knew him from Lagos know they are just packaging lies for national. The same man brought Buhari to us for his selfish ambitions, he and Atiku are not really different, one of them just gbajue pass the other one. Didn't they both work together in the past? Atiku has been on this since 1993, this is 32 years. Is he and Tinubu not telling us that in 30 years, they did not know how to build young people that will lead Nigeria? Atiku worked to destroy PDP from within so that he could get the AC ticket and be president. The only reason he is not in APC today is because Tinubu is there and he can't have his way with him there. Didn't they both have deals for PDP tsunami in 2007? All of them is about me, me, me, me, me. They just want to satisfy that desire to be called president even if age or their health will not allow them to do well. They are selfish and believe they can buy everyone with money. There's no much difference between Atiku and Tinubu, it's just friends in different parties and one of them got what the other wanted badly.

Most of the elders around 80 should be ashamed of themselves.

That will never happen. Atiku will rather lose than support Obi's presidency. Northern political Fulani elites will not support an Igbo presidency, the other ethnicity might give Obi part of thier votes but the fulanis will ultimately inflate thier own votes to make the votes from other ethnicity inconsequential.
