Someone that almost defeated Buhari in 2015 at APC primary election in Lagos.

And yet though, Atiku remains the only aspirant that can beat Tinubu in 2027.

Any other projection is just a waste of electoral funds

Rabiu kwakawoso came 2nd , atiku came 3rd .

Grandpa Atiku is the weapon fashioned against himself. He is neither patient nor strategic. He had his chances to become president in 2019 and again in 2023 but he blew it.

Tinubu will get the required 25% in most Northern states and with Atiku getting into the race, some % of Southerners will either abstain from the election or vote Tinubu (which is to the advantage of Tinubu either ways).

And 2031 is not even sure. By then, he will be up against the likes of Kwankwaso (who bested him in 2015 primary), plus the likes of El Rufai his current comrade have their eyes on 2031 as well.

When it comes to presidency, you don't get that many chances, so he should stop deluding himself. It's over!

atobs4real:
then if Atiku is still willing to contest, then TINUBU till 2031

I believe you are speaking for your Yoruba people. The rest of Nigeria will vote out Tinubu. Una lies and propaganda will not work this time around.

Atiku primary mission is to sell the collectuve wealth of Nigerians .The Refineries.

I used to be a fan of person u mentioned and not for now except i see positive impact to the grass root

Abraham Lincoln became President after like 3 or 4 attempts. But Atiku is now looking at about 7 attempts with no happy ending unless he can secure the 12 million Buhari voters.

Even if ADC produce a tree as the candidate.
SW president will never be considered as an option to us.
He is the worst president in the history of nigeria .
Nothing on this earth will make SW president come back in 2027

How come Obi and Atiku are not among anybody

Oga anybody can be anybody but only one body will win, not the one with popularity or much money but the one with strategy and political will and Brain

Britishpea:
I don’t think it’s greediness. It is within his right and the purview of of the constitution that he can contest as long as he wants.

There is no reason to attack any man with vision and dreams. People do business for decades yet continue the business even after they have made a lot of money in the same business.

It’s a great thing for everyone to have dreams.

BUT his arrogance has been the reason he has never been the president and I believe his time has passed. He is a rude politician who believes that after money nothing else is needed to achieve his dreams.
He had his best chance in 2023 having lost the can he in 2019.

His arrogance was the only reason Tinubu won him. He was ordinarily meant to win that election.

I agree with you on his arrogance being the obstacle to his presidential ambition.

However, his best chance was in 2003, when he graciously refused to make Obasanjo a one term president, in the way that ebilokan made Jonathan in 2015.

It was Atiku’s refusal that must have made Buhari contest and lose in 2003.

madridguy:
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is qualified to contest and I don't see reason why the disciples of the lying machine want him to step down for their yes daddy.

Yes daddy has already agreed to be his running mate.

All of them go still chop better beating for Asiwaju hand.

Why not focus on the government of your dollar distributor promise and fail engine , if only he can achieve 5% of his promises to common Nigerians , then all of you can start reducing the cost of dollar bribing for the coming election as 5% of the masses can stand for him but no , he doesn't need the masses, he already has his way and that's why the masses are suffering......

A sane clime knows that your likes won't be talking by now but hiding in shame if you were to be in their environment....but naija don cast nah., nothing is left....

He might not still be able to win OBJ being a powerful president but he could have easily won Tinubu who was yet to be a president and having a sympathetic Buhari at the saddle... He only needed to broker a peace deal with WIKE, make a solid path with him diplomatically and talk to OBI, OR DECIMATE his influence, if Obi refused to work with him he could still win looking at all the roadblocks the CPC/few APC stalwarts placed on Tinubus emergence and the numerous problems in the country at that time..

He left so many factors unchecked thinking the northern votes would give him the edge he needed and would get the remaining votes here and there then win...But Tinubu later won him in the so called North..
His arrogance even stopped him from campaigning vogorously

These are the areas Tinubu is way better than them..He will leave no box unchecked and try to bring everyone to his side as long as you can be brought..He has a powerful negotiation skill.

Atiku should back up a President from the South before he can become President of Nigeria , he is still obsessed by the fact that he is from the North and should rule whenever he wants but what happened to him in 2023 may repeat itself because the North has alliance with the South on where Tinubu is for 8 years tenure for South ...

How could he have contested for Presidential election in 2023??.....that's arrogancy after having a Northern President for good 8 years.....haba nah, is there nobody else from the SOUTH to be President

All he could have done was to back Peter Obi fully, flush away APC and know that the ship sailing is within his gains and powers and that he can't be left behind but thinking he can have his way as he likes is absolute waste of resources. ...

He should go and learn about strategies and human relationships, knowing when to stoop low even when he thinks he is a king, before he can wear the crown he must kneel down, no king is made standing up....

Even Tinubu had to sell the crown of the SOUTH to a trusted fulani before the crown could return back to him...
Atiku should have strategy......

He came third during the 2014 APC presidential primary election in Lagos. It was RABIU that came second.

someone who came third behind Kwankwaso is someone who nearly defeated Buhari. Though he's getting the ADC ticket no doubt but the record needs to be put straight.

Nigeria's politics is money politics. If you have brain and strategy and you don't have money, you're simply wasting your time. How do you think most govs usually end up installing their successors regardless of their performance?

Atiku didn't almost defeat buhari in APC 2015 primary election. He came distant 3rd after KWANKWASO.

Igbo people, LISTEN UP!!!

Below are the current president (PBAT) and the potential next president- if Igbo desist from bitter anti- Yoruba politics.

I suspect Atiku works for the rulling party as a a big mole. Atiku, the destroyer. Always causing confusion wherever he goes. He is not a strategist. His desperate ambition to be president never allows him to sit down and plan his moves, instead he jumps from one place to another causing confusion with his ill gotten wealth even when he knows the odds do not favour him and his region. Atiku knows he will still not win under the ADC ticket. He just wants to spoil show for others and still run to another party in 2031.

Which ‘almost’? Atiku had less than one-third of Buhari’s votes in the 2014 APC primaries and even came 3rd behind Kwankwaso. He didn’t come close to defeating Buhari at all. That said, in the ADC, he’s clearly the frontrunner since no other aspirant matches his political weight there — but against Tinubu, it’s a different ball game entirely

Obidient messiah is confused

Best Tinubu continue than an atiku's presidency. But why can't Atiku support a southern candidate instead of this greed for power

AK481:
Rabiu kwakawoso came 2nd , atiku came 3rd .

True..

Well its Atiku's right to run so one should fault him for wanting to exercise his rights.

🤣🤣😂😅😅😅😅😂

Dem think say
Atiku dey follow Dem joke.......
Atiku wan ambush all of Dem again.
He Sabi the game.
He has done the ambushing game over and over again.

Emeskhalifa:
Thought few days ago he said he isn't desperate? So what do we call this now?

Do you have any problem with simple comprehension? Read the piece again in case you're a slow learner.

Eriokanmi:
Its not about beating atiku but the man's stepping down and supporting obi..what's bad or so difficult about that?. Atiku may be working for tinubu cos I dont see how he will get upto 6m in 2027. Im obidient and still hope he steps down. Else, I'd vote tinubu like I said above. South must do 2 terms complete. If not for Obasanjo's dogged moves, the north would have stopped him in his 2nd terms with the ghali n'aaba's sponsored sharia and atiku's revolting against him.

Jonathan got there and was removed with the help of a southerner tinubu. That's the reason I dont like him but I'd not mind voting him to prevent north coming to shortchange south again.

Atiku should step down and support Obi? You people are too arrogant and delusional. If you care to know-Atiku bright Obi limelight from his sabbatical after his exit from APGA by making him his vice presidential candidate in 2019.

And with regards to your perverted claim of the south been shotchaged, it was the north that actually suffered the distortion when Jonathan chose to contest in 2011 and 2015 despite been the their turn.

Vote for whoever you like but Atiku WILL NEVER step down for Obi and anybody asking for such is chasing a wild goose.

Let me also tell you this for free: Obi can never defeat Tinubu in any presidential. So, stop chasing a hopeless situation.

Primaries is purely fraudulent, it is determined by criminal politicians you that. Your assertion is based solely on fraudulent practices and not that the elections would be 60% free and fair. If it's fraudulent then you are right but if it has up to 60 to 70% credibility then you are very wrong.

Thegoodone13:
. And you think there is no competent candidate in the south? The rotation is 8 years between southern and Northern. Northern need to wait till 2031.

There are many competent hands in the south but none of them, I repeat, none of them can defeat Tinubu in 2027 except they team up with someone like Atiku as vice presidential candidate to clinch the presidency. It's an incontrovertible fact.

He had his best chance for the second time in 2023 against Tinubu having missed it in 2019 against Buhari

His arrogance was the only reason Tinubu won him. He was ordinarily meant to win that election.

Stop these nonsensical allusions. Which arrogance were you referring to and which politician doesn't spend money in Nigerian politics? Contrary to your claims , Atiku is one of the most civil and tolerant politicians in our political space. He plays the political game by the rules.

Eriokanmi:
He is, of course but he can't win. Odds are against him

So, who can? Atiku is the only presidential candidate today aside Tinubu that boast of national spread (acceptance). Fact.

jaxxy:
If atiku loses in 2027 elections and Southerners still contest for president in 2031, Hope him and the Northerners supporting him won't be offended??

This is a very important question to ask ahead of 2027.

Even with the so-called zoning arrangement, was there a time only candidates from one zone contested for the presidency in Nigeria? Why can't you do a simple research before passing comments?
