Well, Atiku and Obi are not orphans. Tinubu only became president with 5.6m Hausa-Fulani votes.

While it is important to note this about Atiku,it is also germane to avoid Tinubu at all cost.

He is someone we shouldn't have allowed to go close to the treasury at the onset.

Just imagine having leaders with past criminal records being Presidents and u are telling me that there is hope for this country.

Ooh no...what a country full of brilliant people being led by armless robbers.

Atiku worked under IBB. He was the Deputy Comptroller General of Customs when IBB was the president. When IBB saw the insane level of wealth that Atiku had corruptly acquired as a customs officer, he refused to appoint him as the Comptroller General of Customs despite all entreaties from traditional rulers in the north. Thereafter, IBB advised him to retire from service.

OBJ is the second person Atiku worked under. We have all read his opinion about Atiku in his well publicized book. If the people Atiku have worked under all feel that he should never be allowed to become the president of Nigeria, then we must listened to them. Both of them can't be wrong. In addition, we all saw how Atiku converted almost all Federal companies to his personal properties when he was put in charge of the privatization process. Again, we can't forget his desire to sell NNPC and NLNG to his family members and friends. Such a dubious character must never be allowed anywhere near Aso Rock again.
I don't think the Tinubu you are supporting is in anyway better, both of them are fantastically corrupt.

Atiku is not fit for the job, he has no credentials for the job.
Re: Babangida Warned Obasanjo About Atiku - Donald Duke by penta(m): 2:52pm On Aug 20
But Tinubu should be allowed in Aso Rock

Tinubu is the most con politician in Nigeria with the whole of Lagos in his pocket.. if you know, you know.

Are you talking about the same Tinubu who went to Osun and told the Ata Oja of Osogbo that he is richer than the state? Don't forget that his only known job before politics was as a "Mobil Accountant".

I don't think there are good leaders in Nigeria. It seems most Nigerians are corrupt even the followers. The only reason am supporting president Tinubu is because he is the only one among all of them who is bold enough to make audacious move for restructuring the country. I believe in asiwaju since he has begun with State Police, regional commissions, local government autonomy, tax reform, subsidy removal. What Nigeria needs now is state resource control. Let every region control what are in her domains. This kind of government, where every state government will go to Abuja for money sharing is retrogressive and it promotes laziness. Atiku will never give restructuring.

Tinubu must complete his eight years...
Stop deceiving yourself because Tinubu lacks the rectitude to hand over resources to states and have them pay taxes to the centre. Only a man with guts from the oil-bearing states of Nigeria can do that.

There's no restructuring without resource control.... everything else is secondary.

Who do you think is more corrupt between Tinubu and Atiku? Tinubu that own half of Lagos state, and has refused to remove his leprous fingers from the state's treasury. Only God knows how much he has looted from Nigeria since becoming the president. Truth is, Atiku, just like many Nigerians is corrupt. But Tinubu's family insatiable greed is out of this world.
Tinubu stole all of Lagos' money, but you and your entire lineage dey run to the same Lagos like you need Lagos air to breathe and stay alive.
You could have stayed in your jungle village where your Governor did not steal anything.

Over ambition killed Atiku, if he had supported Obj wholeheartedly, he would have forgeten, he ruled Nigeria now. Because Obasanjo would have handed over to him, believing he would continue reformed he made after 8 years.
Exactly bro but unfortunately he chooses the path of impatient that's consequences still hover around his head till now. HIs over ambitiousness even lack tact and political sagacity. He believe so much in buying his way up without proper planning, diligence and thoughtfulness that is required of a leader.

I don't know how he thought he could win an election with ADC and can't unite opposition to fight a unify battle with Tinubu with power of incumbency. He suppose to have be father of opposition by now but due to his over ambition and self centeredness he was unable to do that.

I don't know how a whole deputy will be the one fighting his oga for a third term you will enjoy together and automatic take over by you, even though that's unpopular decision. He supposed to be last person to oppose it if not he should have resign honourably. But the intention is not for the massess but for unholy agradisement of wealth.

If there is anything I learnt from Atiku is not to be impatient with any of our ambitions but work hard and smart with patient and tactfulness.

He will not by God's grace. Tinubu is a thief and an undemocratic element that needs to be quarantined. If he's doing well, yet Nigeria is bleeding on all fronts.

Politics and politicking shocked shocked
The most irrational and nonsensical submission of the century
Obj had Ribadu at EFCC. He had the icpc .Do you think if allegations of corruption against @AA are real and can be substantiated with the level of Obj hatred for @ AA he wouldn't have been charged to court. Does it sound rational that @ BAT will be so much at ease with @ AA without taking him to court if truely he has skeleton in his cupboard. If @ AA is not fit to rule Nigeria then certainly it isn't Donald Duke. Why did Obj went ahead with @ AA for his 2nd term in office grin grin??
Are you saying since 2007 that @ AA left office, your claims of him being corrupt just remains figment of your imagination. Charge him to court if your allegations are true
Talking about betrayal, IBB betrayed Nigeria by cancelling the acclaimed freest election in Nigeria history and refusing the winner be sworn in
Re: Babangida Warned Obasanjo About Atiku - Donald Duke by FSBoperator: 3:29pm On Aug 20
Take whatever Duke says with a boulder of salt.

Duke has been very bitter since Obasanjo selected GEJ over him as Yaradua's VP .

He was also very bitter when GEJ became acting President and later elected as substantive President to the point he traveled to the US to demand from Ngozi not to accept a ministerial slot from GEJ.

When Ngozi stated this in her book Fighting Corruption is Dangerous , Duke hit back at Ngozi for including that discussion he deemed private and went on to say she was overrated and not fit to be Minister of Finance.

Also, Duke is bitter towards Atiku for not picking him as his VP candidate on three occasions.

The man is the most entitled and most petty politician out there and yes, he is also very overrated.

Is it only Obj, what about Jonathan? He wasn't supposed to join forces to remove Jonathan, if he had supported Jonathan, his chances, might have brighten after 8 years of Jonathan.
The same goes to Obi in 2023, who knows if, Obi would have won, if he had backed him with his support base. Perhaps, Obi would have given him chance after 8 years of his reign.

always too ambition to go against trend that might latter favour him

You are just bereft of knowledge. Reforms are painful but necessary. It is just like a pregnant woman who has to undergo cesarean section for delivery. So just as cesarean section is painful but necessary for a pregnant woman who has difficulty in delivering so is reform iniatiated by Tinubu.

If you were supporting a politician that could be regarded as clean then I will take your comment serious. You cannot be supporting Tinubu and Wike then be coming up with this trash.

Am only advocating for someone that will give state police, state resource control, tax reform, regional commissions. None of our politicians is corruption free even many of the followers. I want someone that can hold the National Assembly to give Nigeria full restructuring. Atiku will never do that and obi is too timid too iniatiate state resource control. Niger-delta should be in control of there resources, North should be in control of there gold and lithium. Every region should be in control of there affairs.

Tinubu ruled Lagos over 20 years ago but is yet to take his hands off the state coffers. An old lady should be uneasy when dry bones are mentioned. Atiku has an open challenge asking anyone with any evidence of corruption against him to step forward. Atiku has never been indicted nor arraigned, whether within or outside the country. He has never forfeited cash or entered into a plea bargain. His businesses and sources of money are also well known by all Nigerians. Unlike "you know who". Tinubu has practically already sold Nigeria to his business partner, Chargoury, with over 20 trillion naira worth of projects and concessions handed over to him without proper procurement or accountability.
Tinubu ruled Lagos for over 20years, yes! He did and Lagosisns are seeing the effects of his leadership on the state everyday; even your brothers and sisters keep trooping to Tinubu’s Lagos on a daily basis in their thousands including the inept Peter Obi you promote here everyday that only recorded a barren brewery as an achievement for 8 good years!
