See uppercut and knockout at this crucial time.Atiku had a great chance of becoming the president of this country in 2019 presidential election but he was robbed of his hard-earned victory by Buhari and his cohorts.

They have a penchant for kneeling down to beg and then moving against you as soon as they get what they want. Like Obasanjo and Atiku, like Tinubu and Elrufai. Circa 2003, all the governors were in support of Atiku and were ready to support him as president. It was said that Obasanjo had to beg Atiku to allow him to go for a second term which Atiku obliged. The rest is history. Atiku is not a small politician. He stepped down for MKO Abiola in 1991. He funded Obasanjo's campaign in 1999 and gave him the Yar'adua structure that he inherited. He has paid his dues and he should cease all form of respect for Obasanjo and also roll in the mud with him.
What is Atiku's business for him to be able to sponsored a presidential election as a retired customs officer if he is not a criminal? Obasanjo is also a criminal as we are all a living witness to his administration

Atiku has challenged anyone who has any evidence of corruption against him to step forward. Neither yourself, Tinubu, or Obasanjo have done so. Obasanjo is only mad that Atiku stopped him from getting a third term. If Tinubu attempts the same (God forbid he wins re-election), Shettima will also oppose him. Northerners are not cowards, and they don't go through corners. When will Obasanjo write one of those famous letters he's known for to Tinubu? Where is Wole Soyinka?
But if AA hands was clean then that damning remarks by Obasanjo in his book "Under My Watch" on Alhaji Atiku shouldn't have gone unchallenged.

Oga go and ask Atiku that or present your corruption case against him and take him to court.

Obasanjo should move on and stop talking about this every eke market day.

He already wrote it in his book he should rest.

Exactly, nobody should accuse Tinubu of any offence because he has never being convicted. grin
He has never being convicted because he took a plea bargain and forfeited hundreds of thousands of dollars. Atiku has never even being arraigned.

Atiku is not a coward yet he crawls to obasanjo every election season to beg for endorsement

Obasanjo knows atiku better than you do and that's why baba called him a thief .
Tinubu also crawled before Elrufai and begged him publicly to help make him president, before proceeding to betray Elrufai. Does that make him a coward? Atiku, being the "gentleman without any grudge" that he always is, only sought to make peace with Obasanjo and move on.

So Atiku is good to have attempted to impeach OBJ three years into his regime? Unmindful of what that would have thrown the country into after the events of June 12. All because of inordinate ambition?

Impeachment is a democratic exercise. Obasanjo himself engineered the Impeachment of several governors while serving as president. What is undemocratic is unilaterally declaring state of emergency in a state, suspending a sitting governor and denying him a return ticket simply because he refused to play ball.

Stop crying 😢 if it was a criminal offense and he actually committed it pleas bargain will only reduce his sentence not complete freedom.
Like I said until he's a convict you got nothing on him . grin
You can't exonerate a Nigeria politician without shooting yourself on the foot grin.
Call me when you find a case strong enough to convict him or forever hold your peace and support your "SIN" In peace .

Re: Picking Atiku As Vice President Greatest Mistake Of My Life – Obasanjo by epainos: 10:27am On Aug 01
Go read my posts. I keep telling people that OBJ regretted it. But Baba killed Atiku.

OBJ himself knew that he could achieve far more of Atiku was not his running mate. That was where he missed his blossom friend Yaradua. OBJ wont forgive Abacha.

Yaradua could have given him a loyal VP or perhaps become his VP. It was whybhe gave it to Yaradua's brother cos he was tired of the whole thing. But Yaradua's bro isnt the Yaradua Sr na.

I feel OBJ. He knows he could have done better. Atiku was a big mistake indeed. Its why I pity people followijg that man.

Did you ever see OBj lament about Jonathan? He doesnt even know Jonatha. It was Yaradua who picked him. And he juat felt that OK...lets give this one a chance. But Jonathan pretended to be loyal, and as soon as he got what he wanted, his Ijaw allies poisoned him. Lol. A man who can be enought poisoned. Thats not who we need now. OBJ could be so possessive, but you need wisdom to operate with Baba. You have Baba, trust me...you have Nigeria. But you go against him, you are a dead meat.

The only person who has so far faced Baba and not broken is Tinubu. The same man faced Atiku and beat him 3 times. So, that should tell you that OBJ and Tinubu are of the same rank. Lol.

Have you ever hear Wole Soyinka criticised Tinubu? Start adding one plus one na.

Good luck to you all!!!
