Even the devil has his followers, likening Atiku to the devil?
Reasonable is ability to see he's a bad sell.
Some heads aren't destined for the crown.

Moses was called by God but Atiku called himself, not God.

He knows how to use dollars buy his way - hear animal talk

A true leader has a strong network and followers, when you touch people life especially in position of power, you are laying down a strong foundation for future reference.

When tanbuwal laid down his ambition for Atiku Abubakar in 2023, you think it was dollars that did it

If it was, wike would out spend him

Emancipate yourself from parochial thoughts
It's Atiku's right to ignore popular opinion and the chance to be an elder statesman and still run.
After the elections it will be well established how kept running and kept failing.

People see him as another version of Tinubu, part of the old order and will rather have Tinubu continue if Obi will be rigged out than have him.

Happy dreaming.

Did Atiku Abubakar said he's not supporting south for president?

He has ambition just has other southerners

They were all in ADC

And ADC has already said they're not zoning their own presidential ticket

Did a southerner win the ticket and Atiku refuse to support him?

You people should think upright now

The problem of nigeria isn't Atiku Abubakar, apc tinubu government has been suffocating Nigerians

That's the problem

If tinubu has done well opposition campaign might just be fruitless
Dude is a bad market, some call him spoiler.
He's not popular. Ignoring that is his biggest problem. He doesn't even the ability to guage the mood of the people.

Nothing more than the pure and unadulterated truth. It is as clear as daylight that the hinderance is Atiku. I maintained that since 2023 when Atiku claimed that zoning was improper. Atiku had no business then and still has no business now. Atiku agrees with zoning when it favours him. If not for zoning, he would not be the VP in 1999. The only reason that he colluded to chase GEJ away in 2016 was zoning. When he decamped to PDP and contested in 2019, it was because of zoning. Now to him, zoning is improper.

The greatest opportunity for him was as the VP to OBJ. Out of his carelessness, greed and wrong reading of the political barometer, he lost it completely. If only he did not try to play smart against OBJ. However, aside from his ways, it is crystal clear that he is not destined to be the President of the country, no matter the effort.

The same uncompromising stance that he put up in appointing Okowa, against popular opinion and proper political calculations in 2023, made him choose to choose the same error path this year with ADC. He has no business being on the ballot in 2027 as a northerner, aside from trying to divide the votes to favour BAT.

Atiku’s supporters now point accusing fingers at Peter Obi, as if he is the government in power. As it stands, ADC as a so called opposition party , now views NDC - another opposition party - as the government in power and in effect acts as the opposition to NDC, another opposition party. It is very obvious that the plan in ADC was to use Peter Obi, pin him down, with Atiku faking to be the candidate to oppose BAT, effectively concluding the agenda of allowing BAT have his way in 2027.

Rather than talk about ADC and its programs, the party officials focus on Obi who left the party, attacking him every moment. Now it is Obi this, Obi that every minute.

When Bolaji Abdullahi was asked about the manifesto of ADC, he could not give an answer. As of today, he has not shown any. If ADC is truly a serious opposition party, why not focus on projecting the image of the party and working for victory in 2027?

It is not to be doubted that Obi’s departure created chaos and confusion within ADC. The man that they tried to use moved faster than them and abandoned them.

Obi contested in 2023 on the platform of a relatively unknown Labour Party platform. Atiku only contests on established platforms. Atiku should test his so called popularity on an unestablished platform and let’s see. If Obi contested on the platform of PDP in 2023, it would be game over for BAT at 12 noon that day.
