Because he knows he will use dollar rain to buy it
I thought Tinubu has prevented that by amending the electoral law to allow for direct primaries? How would he do that? By sending dollars into every ADC member's account?

ADC is a vehicle to advance Atiku’s presidential ambition; the other candidates are merely pawns on the political chessboard, especially Peter Obi. Any other thing is just to deceive the usual gullible Obidients and to give keyboard warriors something to console themselves with.

You people spread this fake news every week and Atiku debunks it every week.
Just a few days ago he debunked a similar news.
You lots think spreading fake news every day will make the news real?
He even said the same thing in the PDP primary knowing fully well that he would emerge

Tinubu has boxed himself into a corner. At this point, Nigerians will support whatever combination the opposition coalition presents. He has totally lost the North while Southern unity is dead. Tinubu's recent actions have also pitched undecided voters to the coalition and that's a huge plus. This is Nigeria. There are no Kings!
By the time you wake up from your slumber, Tinubu will be handing over to his successor in 2031!

That's what we want to hear. I hope ADC zones it to South
Why should anything be zoned anywhere, since we are not unevolved primates who use rotation to share their national cake, a pseudonym for corruption huh

Moreover, what happened last election cycle when Atiku agreed to step down if PDP micro-zoned its presidential candidate to the south east?

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
grin grin

He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.


This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

Oh, it is good to know that you are not like the self centered group like the Obidients who are only opportunits hoping to reap bountifully from where they did not sow. Their own mantra is that once Obi is not given the ticket they will move somewhere else. They are a bunch of desperate and undemocratic elements looking for presidential ticket anywhere they can get it. grin grin grin

If Tinubu wanted Obi to be "free", he shouldn't have destroyed the Labour party. The same way his attempts to lure Abba Kabir to APC made Kwankwaso to now align with Atiku and Obi, which was unprecedented. The so-called master strategist is tieing himself in a loop.
Politics is not a game of emotions.

Why should Obi not be smart enough to beware of legal issues?
Re: I’ll Back Whoever Emerges ADC Presidential Candidate – Atiku by samomoli: 9:33am On Apr 05
If ADC choose a candidate from north, they should forget it. A southern candidate should be the best shot. A southern candidate might not be obi . There are credible candidate from south that can do better than what we have presently

Not he has stepped aside.
Re: I’ll Back Whoever Emerges ADC Presidential Candidate – Atiku by ojuu4u(m): 9:42am On Apr 05
If you have done that in 2023, maybe your chance as president might still be high, but since you think, north must continue for 16 straight years, ......... you will carry the regret to the grave.
Re: I’ll Back Whoever Emerges ADC Presidential Candidate – Atiku by Larriekay: 9:47am On Apr 05
What other options do you think Kwankwaso has? He is sinking and he needed to run to ADC as APC didn't really care about him.

Punch reported it. It seems he actually made the comment. It's a major drive. If Obi gets that ticket, Tinubu may have to consider more than cornering state governors. ATK get loyal supporters and he can spend just the same as TNB. It will be a tight margin, but for some reason it seems he is just buttering the public up. With more than 10 candidate in PDP and he emerged, it's more like saying he is positioning himself with the South and wants Obi's bloc in the South East

Most Nigerians r not obsessed with either Tinubu and Obidients.
‎We just want a country that works and once this group makes their displeasures known, they r tagged obidients.
‎Only abt 14 milion or so combined voted for these 2. We have 250million Nigerians for God's sake. Stop compressing everyone into these 2 grps

Walahi di tin weak mi. It's not like Peter Obí has the gravitas to be a formidable presidential candidate even if Atiku decides to withdraw for him.

I will repeat, Obidients don't know who Atiku is if they think they can browbeat him into submission, it's that kind of stuff he thrives on.

Something that Obj tried to do by using all his contacts to successfully fence him from PDP presidency, any other person would have left the political arena by now, not Atiku. Shey It is vacuous and powerless Obidients that he will be worried about àbi?
