I trust my people. Na money dem go dey ask for.

Atiku has been in government since 1992 with absolutely nothing to show for it.

A man whose kitchen cabinet comprises of characters like Dino Melaye, Lauretta Onochie, Rauf Agbesola, David Mark, etc

What exactly does he want Nigerians to ask him?

I would rather vote Obi, Sowore or even a stone if I had no better choice.

Questions for Atiku Abubakar:

1. The 2006 EFCC Administrative Report

I. Why has the EFCC recently received a formal petition to reopen the September 2006 administrative report into your alleged abuse of office?

II. How do you respond to the 2006 findings that accused you of mismanaging public funds during your tenure as Vice President?

I. How do you explain the 2010 U.S. Senate report alleging that your former wife helped you funnel over $40 million in suspect funds into America?

3. The Halliburton Bribery Scandal

I. Why did the Mike Okiro panel explicitly name you in the investigation into how the $74 million local portion of the Halliburton bribe was distributed?

III. If you had no involvement in the Halliburton scandal, why did several of your close associates face intense international legal scrutiny over the contracts?

I. Why did an international tribunal flag a $500,000 payment from Sunrise Power’s promoter to your ex-wife's account right before the Mambilla bid?

II. Why did you and your ex-wife decline to provide witness statements or bank documents to the ICC tribunal to prove the $500,000 payment was legitimate?

I. How do you respond to the leaked audio recordings from your former aide Michael Achimugu detailing the use of Special Purpose Vehicles?

7. The 2003 NITEL-Pentascope Privatisation Controversy

I. Why did the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) under your leadership award a major national contract to Pentascope, a firm later exposed as a "handbag company" lacking the required capital and technical capacity?

II. How do you respond to the Senate investigation findings that blamed the NCP's lack of oversight for the subsequent ₦19 billion debt and the ultimate collapse of NITEL?

III. Is it true that the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) hid the true status of Pentascope from your office, or did political pressure override the standard vetting and due diligence processes

Atiku - Old, frail and tired
Tinubu - Old, weak, frail, sick and incapacitated
Obi - old, incompetent , incompetent, incompetent

Sadly, one of these three "baban bola" will be the winner.

No doubt his team seems to be right thinking.

Something I would have expected of Ibis team.

Still not voting Atiku though, I'd rather vote Tinubu.

Obis team needs to wake up, campaign has started and y'all looking lacklustre. Pick up please.

Someone should ask what happened to the 16B spent on power during his time..

Make AA give Obi chance now.

saintkel:
he's not our incoming mmmit is still not d turn of d north to become president

How is it not the turn of the north in our tribalistic turn by turn rotation and zoning of political office to share the national cake of corruption?

By next year, northerners would only have been president for 11 years compared to 17 years for southerners.

Moreover, Ekwueme and Ojukwu contested 2003 elections just like Rimi and others, when Atiku resisted northerners pressure on Obasanjo to honour his promises of doing one term like Mandela.

aieromon:
According to sources available to us that time, Obasanjo said he will do a single term but after that, he decided to go for second term. I was physically present at Rivers state Governor’s Lodge when the heat became too much and Obasanjo in the presence of all of us knelt down in front of Atiku begging him to allow him do a second term. I think that was how Atiku missed the opportunity by agreeing to Obasanjo’s plea. His thought was that at least, if Obasanjo completes his second term, he will hand over to him but you all know the story of Third Term Agenda and that was how they fell apart. Atiku had the best opportunity to become president in 2003 and lost it. He had the support of PDP governors then.

@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Around November 2002, 15 of the 21 Governors from the PDP including me, had an ad hoc meeting at my lodge in Abuja to decide who should be nominated by the Governors Committee for election by PDP as the presidential nominee for the 2003 Election.

The Governors Committee decided almost unanimously to get a new candidate instead of President Obasanjo as the Committee was of the view that because of his military background, he was intolerant of dissent and had displayed very dictatorial and vindictive tendencies against those he perceived to be independent-minded and disloyal to him.

Immediately after the Governors meeting, I led the delegation of Governors to meet the then PDP Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at his residence around 2 am.

As the leader of the delegation, I spoke and communicated the views of the Governors to the Chairman, which was that the Governors had decided not to support President Obasanjo as PDPs nominee for the 2003 General Election.

The party chairman tried to persuade us to review our decision but when he saw our resolve, he told us that he would inform the President. I was later informed by Chief Audu Ogbeh that after we left his house he put an urgent call to the President and informed him of our decision.

What then followed were intense consultations before the PDP annual convention which took place in January 2003. Two days before the party convention, the Governors had a breakfast meeting with President Obasanjo.

I recall that at that meeting, the then Vice President Alhaji Abubakar Atiku told the President in the presence of the Governors that he was known to be very dictatorial, vindictive and unforgiving. The President appealed to the Governors to support him and assured both the Governors and the party leadership that if he was allowed to continue for the second term, he would adopt a more democratic approach.

On the basis of the President's assurance, given at that breakfast meeting, I led the move for the Governors to support his presidential nomination for the second term. However, notwithstanding my support for President Obasanjo's nomination for a second term, the President after the nomination, acted very shabbily towards me.

When I met him soon after the convention, he told me that he had learned that I had put forward the view that he was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable. He then vowed that he was going to make sure that I was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable.

Atiku Camp - Visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DID VP ATIKU OUTFOX BABANGIDA AND OBASANJO DURING THE PDP CONVENTION?

According to Adesanya, Atiku met the governors the first day of the convention; they urged him to leave Obasanjo and seek the nomination himself. Atiku demurred; he also deflected the suggestion that he join Ekwueme. Finally, Atiku arranged a meeting between Obasanjo and the now irate governors. The governors railed that Obasanjo was hypocritically pursuing them for corruption, while turning a blind eye to corrupt politicians within his own Administration. Atiku supported the governor's position, telling Obasanjo that significant corruption was not the exclusive ambit of the governors and that serious transgressions occurred in the executive branch: he said it would be unjust to focus exclusively on gubernatorial excesses. Assuming the role of mediator, Atiku then asked both sides to affirm their mutual support and cease the antagonism being fueled by elements that wanted to destroy the PDP. The governors agreed to bury the hatchet, if Obasanjo would shelve the dossiers. Having demonstrated his influence with the governors, Atiku continued to play coy with Obasanjo.

In the end, Atiku extracted an extraordinary concession from the President. Obasanjo agreed to relinquish the entire domestic agenda to Atiku, including the appointment of key economic policy-makers. Since Obasanjo focused on the world arena during his first term and aspired for recognition as an international statesman, Atiku said that is where he would like Obasanjo's attentions to remain. Obasanjo would serve the role of a "super Foreign Minister" and ceremonial Head of State. As Adesanya understood the agreement, Atiku would be allowed to direct domestic economic policy while Obasanjo busied himself with debt relief, NEPAD, conflict resolution and other measures to shore up Nigeria's image abroad.

OBJ camp - visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DIFFERENT INSIDER VIEWS ON THE PDP CONVENTION

The President was dazed, Abayomi recalled. Jarred by the unexpected possibility of defeat, the usually know-it-all Obasanjo eagerly solicited counsel on how to escape the closing vise. Early that day, the dominant theme was to seek a court injunction postponing the convention. Proponents suggested the delay to afford Obasanjo time to marshal support and undermine Ekwueme's momentum. However, this idea was ultimately discarded, partially because of apprehension over the public's reaction. More importantly, the push for an injunction became less urgent when the President's advisors began to sense their man was regaining ground by the hour.

The President owed much of his recovery to his own tenacity and, at times, shamelessness. He pulled out virtually all the stops to clinch the nomination, according to Abayomi. For most of that day, the President's diet consisted of liberal portions of humble pie. The President pleaded and cajoled; on at least two occasions his eyes welled with emotion as he pursued fence-sitting delegates and governors. However, Obasanjo saved his best to keep Vice President Atiku from defecting.

With rumor swirling that Atiku would opt to run with Ekwueme, Obasanjo wasted no time visiting the Vice President's residence. Obasanjo begged, declaring he would not leave Atiku's home unless the Vice President accompanied him to win back the delegates and governors. The performance had the desired effect. Atiku joined Obasanjo in publicly lobbying the conventioneers. While it might not have been Obasanjo's finest hour it was the defining moment of the convention. What had been a suspenseful contest would now turn into a rout.

Can someone tell our former VP the truth? Stop wasting your resources.

Hahahaha. Nigerians have already decided and concluded that they are voting for PETER OBI come 2027

Let me go and ask him about the disastrous privatization of government companies that he headed during Obasanjo presidency, and Obasanjo's legendary conclusions about him & his strong bond with corruption and blatant thievery in government

Only Tinubu is the one that the cabals are shielding from campaign because of his incoherence.
Someone that doesnt even know he is a president. Nawa ooo...

On election day it's just you and your vote, you can't control what happens in Ogbomoso, Katsina, or Damaturu where your candidate may not even have party agents at polling units

LordIsaac:

It’s 19 years since he left office with Obasanjo.

It’s 11 years since Tinubu made Buhari APC change messiah president to fight corruption.

Has Atiku been prosecuted and convicted for corruption in this case or in any other case, unlike Tinubu who was prosecuted by CCT in 2011

5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’

5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors

Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book.

Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.

Nigeria: Corruption - Kalu, Tinubu Can't Escape -Ribadu

19 FEBRUARY 2007

Daily Champion (Lagos)

Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.

APC, ADC, NDC. None of them will get my votes

The tale of 2 presidential candidates...

One is dodging the masses because he has dangerously impoverished them with clueless policies. He recently claimed his governors asked him not to worry about the rigours of campaign as he is seriously tasked with the issues of nation building... THIS IS THE MOST FUNNY comment I have seen all my life

The other is proffering practical solutions, committing to reduce the hardship in the land caused by another. He has now opened a portal to engage the masses directly and sort out their issues

Kachalla himself
Wertin person wan ask am wey person no know about am before......
Go read OBASANJO book
You go know who Atiku be........
Atiku na extremist
Him own pass El Rufai own
He just dey pretend, if power touch him hand lasan.
Una go see real brutality for this country....

Something Obi has been doing right from 2023 till date is what you are applauding atiku's team for doing which is for the first time.

Obi has been the most available presidential candidate on social media platforms and most recently tik tock.

Simply say you are voting for Tinubu and end it there.

Teanubu must go. Otoge . Ll

In addition, I'll just leave this here:

Nigerian politicians. Always accessible before election.
After winning the election, it will be difficult to access them.

Nigerians need something more concrete, learn from the winning party.
