2019: Why I Am Now Supporting Atiku – IBB by Limitednow(op): 4:13pm On Oct 07, 2018

Ibrahim Babangida, former military ruler, has stated why he is now supporting the candidature of Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

Mr Babangida, fondly called IBB, declared his support for Mr Abubakar after the latter emerged victorious at the elective presidential primary of the PDP in Port Harcourt on Sunday.

Abubakar, popularly known as Atiku, defeated 11 aspirants of the party to clinch the ticket. He will then have to slug it out with incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari who is seeking a second term in office in the 2019 general elections.

Babangida who had earlier declared his support for Bukola Saraki, President of the 8th Senate, backed down when his preferred aspirant could not clinch the party’s ticket.

The former military ruler reacting to the victory of the former vice president at the primary, congratulated Atiku and has now declared his support for the PDP candidate.

He stated his reason for doing so.

“One of the few reasons I admire Atiku is because he is one of the very few politicians who has a lot of investments in Nigeria; for some of these reasons, he has my blessings,” Mr Babangida said in a statement on Sunday.

“We shall Atikulate together in 2019, my congratulations to him,” he added.

Already, Mr Saraki has congratulated the former number two citizen of the country.

“I congratulate our Presidential Candidate, Your Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for your victory,” Mr Saraki said in a statement on Sunday.

“You have stayed on course over the years and truly, you deserve this victory.

“We always knew from Day 1 that only one candidate would emerge.

“On behalf of all the aspirants, I want to assure Alhaji Atiku Abubakar that we will work with you to ensure that come 2019, you emerge as Nigeria’s next President,” the top lawmaker added.

This is the opportunity for all right-thinking and truly progressive Nigerians to lend a hand in this divine project to "Uninstall The Lifeless Buhari" from the sacred chambers in Aso Rock which is being desecrated by Buhari's occupancy.

Enough of the bloodletting of fellow Nigerians in the Middle Belt and Southern parts of the country by Buhari's herdsmen terrorists without the security agencies' doing anything to bring them to justice.

Rather than do their jobs by going all out to arrest and prosecute the Terrorists, the Nigerian Army became the mouthpiece of the killers, taking orders and instructions from Miyetti Allah terrorists and giving flimsy excuses for their deliberate refusal to declare an operation against killers. We must send the Cow President and his compromised Army back to his gay cows in Daura.

Patriotism demands the sacrifices of each and everyone of us to ensure that the Tribalistic, Barbaric, Nepotistic, Illiterate and Herdsman Terrorist and his Terrorist group are sent out of the Hallowed Chambers of Aso Rock.

#BackToDaura issa goal!!!
