THE singular reason why major politicians are afraid of atiku is because they know HE WILL BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE FOR THEM .

he doesn't need their financial support and without any party structure ,atiku himself has a well oiled political machinery , now given someone like that the PRESIDENTIAL POWER IN NIGERIA WILL MAKE HIM TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE FOR PPL LIKE TINUBU ,OBJ AND CO

buhari couldn't fund his campaign and had to rely on corrupt ppl to fund his campaign , that is the singular reason his government will fail because they have a hold on him. he cant arrest ppl who funded his elections to the tune of multi billions naira and they need to make the money back as wel as loot more in preparation for 2019 elections .
but atiku doesn't need them , he has his own funds already ,they know once he gets there , he will finish them off

chloedogie:
Let us see who can impose a candidate like he did again in the politics today. We can keep arguing this but, saying Obasanjo is a NOBODY is a fallacy even with him claiming an elder statesman. Have a good working day.

you still dont get me , look at tinubu, he will pick somebbody from the gutters and install him in a position of power . when he presents candidates to people , regardless of the person popularity or background , ppl will still listen to him
obj cannot do such , he waits to see who ppl are following or likely to vote for and then starts supporting the person .
OBJ IS AN OPPORTUNIST,HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT EVEN DURING HIS MILITARY YEARS

the problem with Atiku is just that everybody is now aware of whom he was and how he had used his positions in the past to his huge advantage at the detriment of the mother land Nigeria. I campaigned vividly for him in 2007 cause I thought OBJ was only persecuting him but now that I had realized how he had benefited largely from Nigeria through shady deals of covering up and using fronts, I am ready to come up against him via any little means I can. OBJ, El rufai and Co knows him better than all of us, remember El rufai was DG, BPE while Atiku as vice president was chairman of BPE then.

Replace Atiku's name with Tinubu in your write up and you will see no difference, yet you lot support Tinubu.

Pdp are in Doom

Obasanjo is no longer a PDP member so why would he kick?

If he like let him keg bucket! He is not even a member of the PDP.. So what is his biz with Atiku

Some people give too much credit to Obasanjo! He only became President through massive rigging. In a free and fair election, Obasanjo cannot win his ward.

onatisi:
it isnt his fault , but the fault of dumb politicians who keep trooping to him. he doesnt call anyone ,and the reason is very simple ,politicians trooping to him knows how stupid majority of Nigerian voters are and they know how cunning and intelligent obj is , so they always rush to him to seek opinions on how to deceive Nigerians . obj himself cannot contest a gubernatorial election and win without rigging .
Despite the fact that tinubu isnt liked much by many people , he is what i can call a grassroot power broker at least across his region . he is more relevant in naija politics than obj .

I agree with you.. The way obj have been running his mouth and giving advice, you begin to wonder what he was doing or thinking when he was in power.

Obasanjo is not a member of the PDP. He is a closet member of the failed APC. He does not have a large following and actually lost election in his ward in Ogun State. He should not have any input into who becomes the PDP flag bearer. As a matter of fact, all the Presidents he helped to foist on gullible Nigerians have been total failures: Shagari, Yaradua/Jonathan, and the worst President Nigeria have had so far, tribalist Buhari. So why would anyone still be looking up to Obasanjo to help pick the next President of Nigeria? Are Nigerians cursed?

If your business is not online in 2017, you would be swimming against the current.

With increasing need to tap from online opportunities, every businessman or woman is looking to have an online store where he or sell can sell their range of products and services.

According to PayPal, "Nigeria is the 3rd highest mobile shopper worldwide - only after China & India!"

That's massively huge because "Nigerian online shoppers have realized the world is their shopping mall and shop wherever and whenever using their mobile devices because they are generally sophisticated mobile users and this sophistication is aiding small businesses".

he conducted and oversee the most fraudulent elections in the history of Nigeria , Nigerians really have very short memories . they have forgotten how elections were rigged blatantly during the time of obj and how elections petitions and ruling were delayed for at times 3 years , how ppl were impeached in the middle of the night !!!!

yet that is the kind of person now telling ppl about corruption and good governance

obj started the ghana must go bags filled with money to bribe senators and house of reps , NIGERIANS HAVE FORGOTTEN

sometimes i weep for this brainless generation

OBASANJO........ Influencing Nigeria's politics since 1976.

This issue of generalized but unspecific accusations against Atiku should be stopped, those with concrete evidence of his misdeeds should just present it before Nigerians to consider n decide or else those accusations only amounts to hate,fear n desperate defensive strategies to protecting a criminally hidden agenda period.

GreatMahmud:
Nigerians make me laugh..Another grand father above 70yrs with glaring history of corruption already being supported by the masses to be d next predident..Atiku is a rogue ..

Plain truth my brother.

just imagine ,that is almost 41 years
infact when he talks now , youths of today should be telling him to keep quiet

Though I'm no fan of Atiku. But is Obasanjo God?
The earlier we begin to put these 'unstatesmanly' statesmen in their proper place the better for our country. Obasanjo campaigned against Jonathan in 2015 not because of his love for our nation, and not because he saw a better candidate in Buhari; but just because of his personal vendetta against Jonathan.

Blessing bro. U spoke well!

Atiku know them better

onatisi:
please kindly tell us one of the dirty deal atiku has done , since you now know more about him .

God bless you

Saintbonnie:
Is 2019 about obasanjo or about us as Nigerians? He doesn't need to kick, we'll kick ourselves

Honestly, that man just needs to take a back seat,his sanctimonous attitude is just so irritating,he has played his part and needs to stop acting like a dog in a manger...After all we know they re all crooks.

Obasanjo turned against Jonathan because Jonathan isn't a man of honour. Everyone knew 2015 was for the North and Jonathan had no business contesting in the first place. If Buhari leads till 2023 then it's the turn of Igbo and Obasanjo will support an Igbo man.

Listen to yourself, so it's about region and not about competency?

Really

You no why he is still around? Because the so called youths are not mentally prepared to take over. So, there is no youth shut him up.

Well Buhari is better than Jonathan but the truth is that Obasanjo left PDP and Jonathan for failing to put Nigerian 1st before their pockets.

I decided to let you be until I have a good info for you. Like I said if you are a top politician or you have followed politics objectively in Nigeria since 1998, then you won't say Obasanjo is a NOBODY. Listen to Goodluck Jonathan himself on Obasanjo as the grand master of politics in Nigeria.
