This man to me despite all the controversies and allegations against him is the best presidential candidate from the north, he has a well articulated plan of what exactly he wants to do but nigeria is already cursed and populated with evil people who don't like good things. I really doubt if he will be elected given the history of nigerians of always going for the worst presidential candidates.

It seems like since both major parties have zoned their candidature to the north, it would be in the interest of the south for buhari to win coz i dont think any of the pdp candidates would just do 4 years and leave. they would want their 8 years...esp atiku that has been seeking the position for a looong time
yes they have zoned it to the north and idealistically atiku is right , because the arrangement is supposed to be 8 years to the north and 8 years to the south .so if buhari had performed well , it will be in the best interest of the south to let him have the 4 years and take power back in 2023. But goodluck altered that arrangement when he contested in 2011with the support of the north and with the agreement that he will only do one term , because he reneged on that agreement was the major reason why the north voted against him and why Southerner politicians who know the importance of keeping the nation as one and having friends in other regions of the nation worked against him and pdp. if pdp had presented a northerner in 2015 , they would have won easily.
now if another northerner should win the election , it will be 8 years plus buhari 4 years , this is still within limits , considering the fact that obj used 8 years and gej used 4 years .
the problem that may happen will be if the new president meeses up and the north wants to change him again for another new northerner in 2023.

that a person is still moved by articulate words still baffles me. pdp came and spoke well where are we today? apc came and shouted change. where has that taken us? you'd better wisen up my guy. forget about whether they are rich or have done one small thing or the other in the past. these politicians are all thieves.

Desperado!
Whoever take Politicians word for it is living in perilous time. I like Atiku but Buhari is a force.
ATIKU would make a good president.doubt it at your own peril. Reasons:He has a blue print for his administration.I could remember when i vied for SUG DOF in school & CDS PRESIDENT during NYSC,I told the electorates to build her confidence in me and equally make MY WORDS MY BOND,but they believed in me and gave me their mandate, to be sincere they never regreted electing me. Atleast we have known PRESIDENT BUHARI'S WORTH upon his too many promises from 2003-2015.let's give ATIKU a trial to prove himself.but remember he was just a VP and didn't command much or no power.Also remember DONALD TRUMP promised to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,American trusted him and gave AMERICA, believe me today,he has fulfilled 90% of of his campaign PROMISES. Please let's not give NIGERIA to BUHARI the second time, if not we would live to reget altogether.This isn't APC or PDP

The man is intellectually sound. Add that to a little dose of good intention. That's all we need for progress for now.
I once said it here that poor education or lack of it is the major cause of insecurity and that governments spend on education not only because they want you to do well in life and contribute to the economy, but also as security a measure.
That's actually an economic theory that has proven to be true (economics students that studied public policies can relate) and I'm happy a presidential aspirant is echoing the same thing.
The man is miles ahead than Buhari in intelligence and knowledge of how things are run.

mehn after reading all of this,I really doff my heart for atiku,he really has stuff up there and very sure of what he's saying and very practical too. l wish we could've debates where each candidate running for president can be pitted together to really know what they have for the country. With the quality of answers atiku gave here,am really tempted to look him up in a different way,he isn't such a bad choice after all,yes he may have soiled his hands somewhat but who better to keep something with than someone who knows that you know he's a thief,your stuff is safe. let's consider other alternatives in 2019,this present administration of president buhari has shown himself as a person that can't articulate his policies to even his subordinates who rely on his body language for direction,the reason for the lack of coordination within his government which has rubbed off on governance generally,we deserve better as a country and that's the bitter truth we must tell ourselves,enough of this tokenism we are getting right now,we need thinkers in power!

atiku is a million times better than buhari mentally ,academically and intellectually. but this is politics and it isnt all the time that the best man wins but the man that holds the interests of the political class , both the elite political class and the masses . honestly if i am a pdp power broker and i have my way . i wont give or support atiku ,i will rather look for a man that needs support and who will agree to do my bidding anytime.
if atiku becomes the president , he will become too powerful to tame ,manipulate or control, he wont take shit from anyone because he knows how the drill is done , but anything can happen , i wont be surprised if the ticket tussle goes to markafi and dankwambo . i think eventually power brokers will have to line up behind these tow men and choose the pdp candidate

How Atiku allowed himself to be deceived by you pipo is really something I don't understand. Well, when someone is too ambitious, he loses his sense of reason
I will even take him seriously if there was a provision for independent candidates. That way he could carry his cross and move into the sunset.

As far as I am concerned, At ik u is an independent candidate. He has no party. He is deceivng himself if he thinks PDP will give him the ticket. Even in APC Kwankwaso floored him. LA mi do, Makarfi, Donald Duke, Dankwambo and co will be there in the night of long knives.

Except if there is anything called joint candidacy.....which I doubt.

I am afraid PDP may not be able to manage the fall out of that primary and it is not good for the polity.

Kwankwaso is more acceptable in the north, although increasingly a lot of southerners are beginning to seriously support him

Atiku is more acceptable in the south than the north.

Let PDP figure out how to utilize the best qualities of these candidates to defeat Buhari. A candidate who can sweep southern votes with landslide victories and can defeat Buhari in key northern states.

Kwankwaso was governor of a great northwest state- Kano. But i fear he might not get the massive support he would need from the south to win unless he is able to get key southern politicians now to begin campaigning for him. Also he seems to have some incorruptible character and being able to be his own man, than be pushed around.


Atiku also has more experience at the Federal level about how to unite Nigerians again, and will likely get the needed block votes from the south, but might not do very well in the north in defeating Buhari in at least northeast states. So he also needs key northern politicians now to begin campaigning for him in the north.

Bottom-line, we need a Nigerian President who is sensitive about the diversity of Nigeria and has courage to unite Nigerians. We are tired of a President of Nigeria who thinks he is only a Daura President.

Outside selling our national assets to himself,what else did he do as Vice President?

He is so desperate and could change his name to anything just to become president.

Given his desperation, it can never really be about service.

His ONLY chance was 2003 when the PDP governors asked him to run against Obj and Audu Ogbeh was loyal to him. He blew it.

Asiwaju gave him the platform of AC in 2007,he messed up and ran back to the PDP instead of remaining to build it for 2011.

Atiku,history will remember you as the most desperate presidential aspirant in our nation.

My people, my people, (talking to my igbo brothers and sisters) follow the light. The light is buhari. Light and darkness has no relationship. How long are we to be foolish. We went to war and we lost for no just cause. We supported pdp since 1999,we gained nothing. We supported Goodluck and badluck followed us. We called buhari all sorts of unprinted names even when he picked one of us as a running mate. He chose us twice. Even going for litigation to actualize his mandate, he chose an igbo man. He has been showing us love. We have been wise and our wisdom did not take us anywhere. Let us be foolish once by accepting his hand of friendship. Where is Nnamdi Kalu whom we call messiah because he was attacking buhari all angles and foolish miscreants were beaten drums for him. He has made his money and left you in the wood. Embrace the wind of change before it is too late. Our mumu Don do.
eziokwu by ndu my brother,ndigbo think they are wiser than all other tribes that is not true,me think we are just been proud and stupid at the same time emotionalism has made us a laughing stock and that really bothers me.

What a great and wonderful idea. Such an intelligent and articulate ideas.

People, I am voting for Atiku for the singular reason that he's a successful business man and he's the highest job creator after the Federal Government. He's a very successful business man.

He's also the only candidate that talks about restructuring.

He can divide votes in the North and get votes down south.

He's very liberal and has acceptance and popularity down South.

He also has the money to match the FG and isn't necessary going there for the monetary gains but for making Nigeria great and for making a name for himself and proving his critics wrong.

He's the only candidate that OBJ doesn't support, and ll be a fool again to vote for someone that OBJ supports.

Let us give me this man benefit of the doubt. Forget about what APC agents are saying. Make a research about Atiku and you ll be shocked how successful and accomplished he's.

Buhari coming back to power ll be the end of Nigeria as we know it, because the impunity, nepotism, killings, job losses, greed avarice and suffering ll be unprecedented.

Forget about all these APC paid agents commenting here, they know that this man emergence as PDP candidate ll mean doom for them. Do not be deceived by propaganda!

To save Nigeria for yourself and your children unborn vote for Atiku.
just another hate filled Igbo emotional analyst,you have just succeeded in saying nothing.

Atiku Abubakar, WWW, the online sensation and choice president of the misguided ones has come again..

The mistake he, kwankwaso and others alike have made is that they allowed themselves to be fooled by praises from the other side. They should have waited patiently for Buhari to finish his second term before seeking election into his office..

A northerner contesting against Buhari is not better than a fool testing the depth of an ocean with both feet.



Cc: tomakint
am not an Atiku fan but Yar'Adua contested against buhari and won, he is a northerner.
