I hope he will also write in Hausa dialect because majority of his followers only understand that language

Sometimes, I wonder how these gullible fellows from your side think, is he not a Nigeria, he is not qualified... Why the fear? He reserves the right.

I have D right to vote as well. Trust me, I will never give my vote to dat man.

Obasanjo ,Atiku and Buhari embezzled our money and using farming to deceive Nigerians

nextstep:
Abeg.. that is the kind of farming we need: wealthy individuals putting their resources into large scale mechanized farming, not all this kobo kobo subsistence farming that barely feeds one family. This guy's farms employ lots of people - farm labour, processing, transport, retail.

When you see a picture of a big shot laying 1 block for foundation, do we assume that he's the one that will lay all the blocks? Mtchewww.

Media stunt. Not interested....

lordkit400:
Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has been lambasted on Twitter as many people castigated him for posting a photo showing him nicely dressed while ‘pretending’ to farm.The politician had allegedly wanted to use the photo to create awareness on farming and its importance but many interpreted it as another gimmick for his presidential ambition. Nigerians tackled him for wearing a white kaftan and alleged Rolex watch to the farm. They called it pretence of the highest order and another way todeceive people.


Responding to the criticism, Atiku wrote:

“I have owned this farm since the mid-80s, and it employs a few hundred people. Does that make me an unreal farmer? #smile.” then added: “Rhetoric is an important part of leadership. If you are asking about my contributions to national unity, I would rather others speak for me.”

The truth is you dont look one bit like a farmer in this picture sir!

Alariwo2:
if Atiku should contest under pdp, the entire SE will rush to the polls to vote for him. They will abandon their biafra struggle and start rally for him. Whereas this same guy can't win half of the North

Igbos ronu.. stop committing political blunder all the time

stop talking thrash.. the same way Tinubu pushed his candidacy under ACN and Yoruba folks voted for him ...so they were gullible and committing political suicide as well..nonsense!

our mumu Don do
him eye go soon clear

is dat how to farm?

The attack is not warranted. He doesn't need to go there tattered. He doesn't have to do the work himself- all he needs to do is to put the investment down. And he is doing it well. He is one of the few elite politicians investing at home. No other politician matches him. AUN would probably have been more profitable if sited in Abuja but he decided to site it in his native Adamawa. And he employs more people than the Adamawa state government.

I admire Atiku for quite a number of reasons - his larger-than-life attitude, his sagacity and ability to get things done especially in his business. I reckon also that he's very organised.

If Atiku can bring these strengths to governance without a selfish attitude, I believe he has what it takes to solve, say the power problem.

He appears cosmopolitan too - not parochial at all and his team reflects he is comfortable working with anybody no matter where you're from.

Not exactly advocating an Atiku presidency, but I see some leadership lessons for myself especially in terms of his pragmatism.

I also think he may have been largely misjudged a lot no thanks to OBJ's efforts to malign him because he was a 'tough' Vice President.

He may not be innocent but no inquiry, not even the one set up by his former boss has found him guilty of any misdemeanour.

okay... atiku, the wise and spotless farmer. holiest amongst thieves.

trouble maker

THE OTHER TIME HE ARRANGED A GROUP OF ALMAJIRIS, SAT IN THEIR FRONT FACING THE CAMERA, SPOON TO MOUTH AND SNAPPED........... WHEN POLTICIANS ARE GEARING UP FOR A POST, THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHEN THEY START ACTING VERY STUPIDLY............!

Una go still go vote for one slowpoke, wey no get anything to offer like una Bubu (no waec, coupist, no known investments, no know initiative) or GEJ before him (lecturer wey nobody sabi, no publication or research to his name) or YarAdua (nothing is known before his katsina governorship).
Atiku is an accomplished man in almost any ramification outside of politics. Those are the kind of people who deserve to hold political office.

Highorbit:
I can't believe it is the Rolex watch that got your attention. If it is Rolex watch you want to see, google Rolex watch, you'll see different types.

What you believe is your kettle of fish and not mine..

I read through the comments and couldn't find even a single reference to his wristwatch yet some dimwitted simpleton chose that as his/her title.

Your hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens.. Or should I surmise that your comment was actually a reflection of your understanding of my simple comment? If that is the case then you need urgent help... Don't be shy to ask!

kayojosephy:
It should neva be an issue and I am not surprised, it is all for d pics... When u see a person that purposely went to farm for the real farming work no matter how rich, will not be dressed in that outfit... But wetin I sabi, I still dey struggle to make am like him.. Lol @irewole guy 'planting the seed of corruption'.. Savage

Bro, I get and understand you, but you have not taken pictures to show the world, in his case he is trying to win people to his side all for his own selfish interest.
