Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by AnonPoet(op): 6:09am On Jul 04, 2025
This is a pattern! Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has never stayed in a party past two election cycles.

He was a founding member of PDP and became Vice President of Nigeria in 1999. He won reelection in 2003, and that was it. He bolted after the second election cycle.

He joined Action Congress in 2006, clinched its presidential candidacy, but lost in the 2007 election. After that election cycle Atiku ditched AC and returned to PDP in 2010 after President Umaru Yaradua’s death. He spent just one election cycle in AC.

Back in PDP Atiku competed for the 2011 presidential ticket but fell to President Goodluck Jonathan. He grew distant in PDP and ultimately jumped to the newly formed APC merger in 2014. He spent only one election cycle in PDP.

In APC he entered the presidential primary but placed third behind first runner up Rabiu Kwankwaso and the eventual winner General Muhammadu Buhari. He abandoned APC in 2018 for a third spell in PDP. He spent just one election cycle in APC.

He secured PDPs presidential candidacy for the 2019 election but lost. He deserted the party yet returned in 2021. In 2022 he grabbed the partys ticket again for the 2023 election but lost to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Just like in 2007 Atiku has now forsaken PDP for his newest venture ADC. He spent only one election cycle in PDP.

Ironically each time he exits PDP he stirs factions and hypes his departure with media spectacles but always ends up on the losing side.

Should he lose the 2027 presidential election it would hardly shock anyone to see him abandon ADC.

Tonye long time no hear...Is this your official reaction to the coalition or should I expect another?

His native doctor\marabout is the cause of all these wahala. According to Obj, his marabout told him he will be president, as a result of that "profalsy", any party that doesn't offer him their presidential ticket is a byebye to them cheesy grin . He has become a desperado just to make the "profalcy" come to pass cheesy. You can never trust such a person sad
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by madridguy(m):
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar lacks political ideology. To me, Alhaji is with this ideology that believes too much in his money. Imagine someone who have been contesting election for over 30 years if I am not mistaken couldn't boost of a movement of his own.

No organic Pro Atiku senate group, no Rep not to talk of governors, all he does is throwing money around during election. Alhaji didn't plan his political journey very well and this is the reason he is always running around like a ball.
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by adioolayi(m):
I agree 💯 with Tonye on this..


There is no two ways about it...if it didn't dey, it didn't dey..

Judging by his actions on party activities, Atiku Abubakar will make a terrible President!!!

Oga, leave Atiku alone.
Go and rescue PDP, your darling party, from that tout with a cracked voice first.
Maybe, afterwards, people would start taking that party seriously.

Atiku Abubakar is the political equivalent of a rolling stone — not only does he gather no moss, he scatters principles like confetti at a roadside rally. From PDP to AC to APC and back to PDP and now to ADC, his party loyalty changes more often than NEPA light. If ambition were rainfall, Atiku would be a thunderstorm in every political season — loud, dramatic, and mostly inconvenient.

who no know that one... atiku is jus one rich Mogul, with no means of leading n organising others.

how would you be in a party that gave U it's highest honours n then stay in there while it disintegrated...

Atiku Abubakar has been offside since 1999....you know if you're a striker and you always stay offside.... You'll never score a goal... His best chance would have been negotiating with Jonathan
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by dahmie2013: 6:55am On Jul 04, 2025
He is a political nuisance. He can't even man up, & try to solve the problems in PDP. Always looking for the easy way out.

Atiku Abubakar and his girlfriend Peter Obi are the same thing.

It's shameful we even consider someone like Atiku to run for presidency.
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by benuejosh:
Glad to see Obi.dients are now in support of Atiku and El-rufai. The same people they insulted and called all manner of corrupt names. What a beautiful time to be alive.
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by ElevationD:
What about Tinubu himself? Is he not the master of making coalitions and switching parties?

If you do not have information, why continue the Atiku story as if others are saints? While they remain in one party, they sponsor candidates from other parties. Where did the word “placeholder” originate from?

Tinubu was in the AD party when he joined forces with the then APP to support Olu Falae in 1999.
In 2003, the odds were heavy against AD’s control in the SW. PDP was like a tsunami that swept AD away. Tinubu agreed with Obasanjo’s second term to secure his own seat as the state governor. He joined the coalition with Obasanjo for his own survival. His party -AD- agreed to support Obasanjo, a fellow Yoruba man to remain in power. He was very lucky, as it backfired against AD in the SW. They did not reckon that OBJ and Atiku had targeted to sweep AD out of power in the entire SW. I remember vividly how on election day, BAT was on the streets moving to secure polling booths. He was the only AD governor who escaped the political tsunami. Bisi Onabanjo, Niyi Adebayo, etc were naive and swept out of power. I recall Atiku saying the he simply allowed Tinubu to remain as governor in 2003, out of friendship. He nearly removed Tinubu!

Crisis between BAT and others in AD on one hand and Tinubu and Afenifere on the other hand, caused Tinubu to move on from AD to form AC, another party. It meant that Tinubu decamped from AD. Those of you who say he never decamped from a party live in illusion. Atiku was having issues with OBJ over his ambition. Tinubu teamed up with the same Atiku in 2006 to give Atiku the Presidential ticket. BAT needed a platform to project himself on the national level, as AD was known as a regional party. Atiku contested in 2007 on the platform of AC and lost to Yaradua. AC transformed to ACN. The next elections came up in 2011. ACN brought up Nuhu Ribadu as the candidate. While Ribadu was the candidate of his own party, the same BAT supported GEJ against his own party’s candidate. Recently, Jonathan’s wife told us how BAT supported her husband in 2011 against Ribadu and Buhari. The same master planner finally teamed up against GEJ in 2014. He formed a coalition with elements of PDP, chief among them was the same Rotimi Amaechi, El Rufai, etc. They all including Atiku were members of PDP at some points. He brought others from APGA, ANPP and baba go slow. They all formed the coalition to remove the then sitting GEJ.

Can we not see that everyone who joined forces against GEJ are getting the same measure of issues that they set up. BAT set up a coalition to remove him. Now a coalition has been set up to remove BAT himself. Just as GEJ was not allowed to serve out his second term, the coalition now is set up to stop BAT from having his second term.

What goes around, comes around everyone!
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by Slytiger: 7:00am On Jul 04, 2025
Atiku has a way out for himself already..infact all the the ADC guys dont trust themselves.

If coalition does not give him the ticket, he has ADA to fall back on. He would likely clinch the ADC ticket anyway.

If Obi does not get the coalition ticket, obidiemts have already registered about 3 parties for him tk fall back on.

I am sure Amaechi also has another party he or his goons must have registered.
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by Tjra: 7:01am On Jul 04, 2025
Like Atiku, like Obi.

No ideology, no personal philosophy and no leadership skills whatsoever.

Just same inordinate thirst to grab power however possible.

In 2031 and 2035, both will still run to another party.
Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Leader - TonyeBarcanista by allanphash7(m): 7:01am On Jul 04, 2025
Rebels who worked against Tinubu in 2023 have all left the APC and those who jetisdioned the zoning formula of North-South in the PDP have also left PDP. ADC now represents a body fairweather power hungry selfish losers. Mathematics calls it COLLECT THE LIKE TERMS.

Chief Awolowo predicted this in 1985 when he said "in the future, there will be no UPN or NPN but two groups of people. The good people from the UPN and NPN will come together as one, the bad people from both parties will come together but darkness will always be subdued by the power of LIGHT. I may not be there with you, it may not be now, it may be now or later, but it will happen...."

IT HAS HAPPENED IN MY LIFETIME. TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

We shall meet on the field in 2027!
