APC sympathizers, well wishers, fanatics and apologists alike are afraid, but they hate to admit it.
They follow the affairs of PDP bumper to bumper.

Continue living in self deceit.

Publicity matters, do you know nobody believes Buhari integrity propaganda again after gandoje endorsement by him?.

Atiku will win this election because he's addressing what the people want.

Stop hunger.

That's all, if he like let him loot, 80% don't care

Re: Atiku Abubakar Ranked Nigeria’s Top Trending Politician On Google Search In 2018 by martolux(m):
Atiku can't win in 2019.....maybe 2023. Wininng an incubent gov't is going to be a tough nut, cause this Buhari is not a weakling like the prev president, beside Atiku himself is of questionable character and d so called PDP is also full of members with qtnabu characters... so how are they better than this present gov't? ..... voting for PDP or APC in 2019 is like voting against my conciense , I would rather vote Hashim or Durotoye

And will still rank top by 2019 election.

Top most Corrupt Presidential Candidate ever
Re: Atiku Abubakar Ranked Nigeria’s Top Trending Politician On Google Search In 2018 by Rilwayne001: 3:43pm On Dec 12, 2018
Most definitely because he's not known nationwide enough. Most people are hearing his name for the first time and hence trying to search who the hell he is. Atiku is only known among the elites. The common men don't know and don't wish to know him.

And as well, I think most of those searches were in a bid to ascertain his fraud case in the United States. And I think he made it even more obvious when he couldn't make the visa work out.
