OBJ Was Right, Atiku Will Never Be President. by WickedAfonja(op): 9:41pm On Aug 25, 2025
Now I understand why OBJ said Atiku will never be President. It's not because OBJ has any spiritual powers, it's because he has studied Atiku and realized that the man lacks calculative reasoning.

Nobody has the power to see the future or determine another's destiny. It is impossible. If it were possible then OBJ will be the world's most powerful man with all the world's nuclear weapons at his disposal.

OBJ made that claim because from what he has seen about Atiku, he does not use his brain enough to know when to capitalize or restrain himself.

And I have seen it too...


Before I go into the main topic let me state 2 CLEAR FACTS:
1. Atiku cannot defeat Tinubu in 2027 no matter how much money he's willing to spend

2. Peter Obi is the only politician in Nigeria right now that can defeat Tinubu (& Tinubu knows it)



If Atiku contests the 2027 Presidential elections, he will NEVER be President again and I will explain why and also offer him an alternative.

There's a non-written consensus amongst the politicians in Nigeria that the South must do its 8 years so that North can do another 8 years. Northern politicians want to respect that agreement not because they are honourable men but because they do not want any excuses come 2031. A Peter Obi or any southern candidate in 2031 will be shut down and viciously attacked.

They want their 2031 free for them to decide.
This is why some of them are aligning with Tinubu at the moment. It's not that they love or want Tinubu but they feel that once his 8 years is over, they can have their unrestricted reign.

Tinubu's re-election guarantees that.

This is why some don't want Atiku for 2027 because if Atiku wins, it will disrupt the Northern 2031 guaranteed meal ticket and throws open the door to any southern politician (including Tinubu or Obi) to contest 2031 with them.

This scenario is unacceptable.


Now here is where it hurts Atiku...
If Atiku contests 2027, the North will not support him 100% which means he will lose to Tinubu thanks to Obi killing his southern votes. Come 2031, Atiku will be old news because Tinubu will use his incumbent powers to install whoever he agrees to succeed him from the North (just like OBJ-Yar'Adua).

Atiku will automatically lose 12 years straight as a result.
Scenario 2:
If Atiku sits out 2027 (and backs Obi), he immediately becomes the unofficial consensus 2031 Northern leader just like Buhari was in 2015. The northerners fake-supporting Tinubu right now, will not only abandon Tinubu openly by 2027 but they will also consolidate the entire Northern vote for Atiku in 2031.

No other northerner will be as powerful as Atiku in 2031 even if Kwankwaso agrees a deal with Tinubu today - and this is whether Obi wins or not.

If Obi loses to Tinubu then that's not Atiku's problem, Obi must support him in 2031. If Obi wins 2027 then he must also honour agreement and support Atiku in 2031.

In 2031, Obi will be forced to sit out and throw his weight behind Atiku which means Atiku will have 70-80% southern votes and split the northern votes 50-50 against anybody challenging him from the North.

This guarantees an Atiku win in 2031.

Atiku can agree to install a placeholder as Obi's 2027 vice as insurance just like how Tinubu installed Osinbajo for Buhari.

You might say Atiku will be almost 90 in 2031 but that is his best chance of becoming President.

If Tinubu or Obi decide to contest against Atiku in 2031, the North will remind them of the 8-8 years agreement and openly oppose them. Both won't win Atiku. No Northerner owes them anything.

On the flip side, if Atiku sheepishly decides to run in 2027 (and loses), then nobody can stop Obi or Tinubu or any other southerner for that matter from running in 2031. The North cannot handle that kind of risk.
In summary, contesting in 2027 does not favour Atiku while being patient and running in 2031 is an almost 100% guarantee for him.

As it stands, OBJ's proclamation are mere words until Atiku himself turns them into reality.

Abi na you sef no sabi calculate sef. What do you mean by 2031 will be 100% guarantee for him. Atiku Abubakar is presently 78 years old, by 2031 he will be 84 years old. As it stands, Atiku should wake up from his dreamy sleep and embrace reality.

President Atiku’s victory in 2031 is the shortest path to Igbo presidency in 2035.

Blame It on something else like Milli Vanilli, weed smokers are enlightened to the fact, that Gringory Obi an Igbo from south east Nigeria, can never defeat a sitting Yoruba president from the south west.
