Atiku the greedy. Imagine contesting for presidential election since 1993? Children born then are now grandpa and grandma.
But come to think of it. Sentiment apart. He has the constitutional right to contest. Why all the bullying?

Turaki Adamawa should play a Statesman and don't help Tinubu to win please.

Atiku, Obi contesting will split the votes again.

So Sad !!!
On the contrary, Obi should play a son's role by stepping down so that he would not help APC back to power the same way he did in 2023.

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.
No, it's Obi and his supporters who're indirectly working for the elongation of APC's presidency due to their arrogance, tribalism and shortsightedness.

We told them in 2019 that Obi will not win the election and he still does not have a pathway as far as 2027 is concerned but they won't listen.

Nobody in that ADC coalition can beat Atiku in a primary election. Even if they all come together, they still can't defeat him.

Someone that almost defeated Buhari in 2015 at APC primary election in Lagos.
Former Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari has won the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He polled 3,430 votes to get the ticket.

His votes outnumbered those of Kano State governor, Dr Rabiu Kwankwanso and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who got 974 and 954 votes respectively.

While Owelle Rochas Okorocha got 624, Sam Nda-Isaiah scored 10 votes as16 voided votes were recorded

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?
After Obasanjo finished his 2 terms Only Northerners were presented as candidates by both Pdp and Acn.



Go and do your own research.

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?
indeed Brain, money and strategy is needed

LoL.🤣🤣🤣🤣 I suggest Atiku should back down and relinquish his inordinate desire to be President by all means...He should lick his wounds and step back quietly into the dustbin of history...If he insist on challenging PBAT again , he will suffer a brutal defeat that will send him to Dubai for a very long time😁😁😁😁

If Atiku emerges as the presidential candidate of ADC and the AtikuObi ticket is repeated, we the Obidients will support the ticket because INEC and the judiciary are already compromised.

Tinubu going back to Iragbiji is non-negotiable

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

Any other projection is just a waste of electoral funds

If Atiku emerge ahead of Obi, as long as Obi remains in ADC, we will support whoever emerges.

We're dynamic and have the ability to respond to change

OBIDIENTS are the ones trying desperately to push Atiku out of contention. Some even went as far as claiming that Atiku declared he would support Obi in the next election

Stop all these naive talk.
Obi is an extremely desperate politician who will never support Atiku if Atiku emerges as the ADC flag bearer.

Obi did it before in PDP when he parachuted himself into LP just because Atiku became the PDP flag bearer. If he could abandon Atiku and the PDP in 2023, is it now he will be loyal?
Re: Atiku Reaffirms 2027 Presidential Ambition, Rejects Claims That He Might Opt Out by DMerciful(m): 9:49pm On Aug 25, 2025
Why are you lying? Peter Obi left PDP before the primaries!

Atiku is the desperate one however we will support whoever emerges in ADC as long as Obi is there

Obi left PDP because he was too desperate and scared of primaries and he saw that he would not win the primaries. Obi is the biggest reason PDP lost the presidential election because he was too desperate.

Even till this day, Obi is still very desperate and scared of primaries that he has been using his OBIDIENTS to pressure Atiku into not contesting for the primaries of the ADC.

Obi's desperation at presidency it is legendary which is why he will never be voted as president of Nigeria
Re: Atiku Reaffirms 2027 Presidential Ambition, Rejects Claims That He Might Opt Out by DMerciful(m): 10:38pm On Aug 25, 2025
If PDP lost because of Obi, ADC will do same if they play with Obi.

Yes na... ADC will lose because Obi can't win any presidential election in Nigeria. Obi is basically a spoiler

So, who can? Atiku is the only presidential candidate today aside Tinubu that boast of national spread (acceptance). Fact.
indeed. How many votes did he get from the SW in 2013 and how many states did he win? Obi penetrated north,won massively and gave him a tough time in his own state of adamawa. Don't tell me you never knew about this cos the facts are there. He's the only one who can defeat Tinubu as it is right now. A fulani or northerner can't hijack the power that his brother and another northener, late buhari dropped 2 years ago

OLADD:
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.
See this one grin. I guess you love this atiku so much that you looked the other way despite the obvious. I wish inec didn't manipulate the election in favour of tinubu. His loss in my state of lagos speaks volume. Elrufai and amaechi are coming out to confess already,on how tinubu won. Like I told you in my previous response, all odds are against atiku. Is it age, being a northerner, challenging a southerner who just got there after buhari just left? Let your atiku come and disgrace himself, for the last time. He's just gonna give tinubu free win. Only Obi can challenge tinubu and defeat him as it stands today. All odds are in his favour, including the people

Stop all these rethoric that lack commonsense. Obi was defeated when Tinubu was not president, how would he turn the table now that Tinubu is the incumbent with the same INEC structure? What's the benefit of 'winning' an election and not becoming president?
Atiku secured 6.9 million votes when the issue of rotation gained so much traction and Tinubu was the bride of the north, he's bound to harvest more votes in 2027 because of Tinubu's perceived sidelining of the region. Are these too complicated for you to understand?

How you and your folks reason like kindergartens is a misery. What magic is Obi performing in 2027 that would be different from the one of 2023? Is he contesting under a different electoral system vis-a-vis INEC?
If you claim he won the election in 2023 but was rigged out, how would he prevent a repeat in 2027, is it by your ramblings? Gosh!
