Mohammed Santuraki: Atiku Is A Formidable Opponent, Whether We Admit It Or Not by ishiamu(op): 2:25pm On Oct 13, 2018
Dr mohammed Santuraki, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, has said whether the ruling party admits it or not, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is a "formidable opponent".

He also urged the APC to put its house in order to emerge victorious in the 2019 general election.

He stated this when he spoke with NAN in Suleja, Niger State on Saturday.

Santuraki also urged the party to address the issues related to the primaries to ensure that the APC remains united.

His words: "Whether we would like to admit or not, the presidential candidate that the main opposition party, the PDP, settled for is a formidable opponent, even if not a credible one.

“Within a week of emerging as the presidential flag bearer, he appointed his campaign team and named his running mate. This to me indicates a much needed sense of urgency. We, in APC must respond in like manner. The clock is ticking. We must push the button."

Speaking on the disagreements within the party, he highlighted the steps taken to address them and commended the party's leadership for its efforts.

He said: “I am happy to note that 10 long days after the October 2 primary elections in Niger, better judgement eventually prevailed. Agreed, it was a choice between a rock and a hard place, but it shouldn’t have been a difficult choice.

“While the election results were adjudged incomplete, flawed and inconclusive in Zone A, and the results also contested in the other zones, a greater level of injustice would have been perpetrated if the tickets were auto-awarded to the incumbents.

“It is commendable that the national chairman finally accepted a more logical reasoning by awarding the victory to the presumed winners of the elections.

“I congratulate and thank Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, the senatorial aspirants, the elders and other APC stakeholders for their resolute stand on the side of our people, for fairness throughout this process. I firmly believe that a flawed democratic process is better than outright dictatorship.”

We know.

Some of us have been saying this from day one. But some APC people believe that if they keep underestimating Atiku, he might just go away.

No. This Atiku is very much around and from all indications, he really means business.

The exact reason why I don't take a lot of Buharians serious on nairaland- Hypocrisy

Atiku was not corrupt when he decamped to APC before 2015. Atiku was not corrupt when they all popped bottles after Jonathan conceded in 2015. For the past three years, when Mr Integrity was making noise about corruption, Atiku was exonerated. But immediately Atiku decided to leave, he became the real definition of corruption.

Let the Buharians keep belittling him on nairaland, while Oshiomole keeps thinking in reality. 2019 will be another interesting year

this same Atiku wouldn't have been a threat if the APC delivered on their election promises.

it's a shame nigerians are now forced to chose between two losers.

Let the presidency/APC leadership/zombies keep wallowing in their self delusion of not losing sleep. Only if they know how they have damage Nigeria & psyche of the common man.Atiku will salvage this first then the nation decide how next restructuring will come.
