Buhari bye bye

olawalepopoola:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is certainly not a fan of Atiku Abubakar, his former vice-president, who is now the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party. His various testimonials about his former deputy are trending online.
The 72 year-old former customs officer, emerged on Sunday as the opposition’s standard bearer for the 2019 election, to face incumbent Muhammadu Buhari.
Nigeria’s Twitterati have been dredging out Atiku’s testimonial as given by Obasanjo, who said in a BBC TV interview why he will never support Atiku for Nigeria’s highest office. He even stated the reason in his book, about his eight-year presidency. Watch the video
“God will never forgive me “

Here is Obasanjo’s testimonial in the book, My Watch:

“From the day I nominated Atiku to be my vice, he set his mind not for any good, benefit or service of the country, but on furiously planning to upstage, supplant or remove me at all cost and to take my place.

“That was what I brought him for, but he was impatient and over-ambitious. He was not ready to learn and to wait. His marabout, who predicted that despite being elected as governor, he would not be sworn in as a governor, which happened, also assured him that he would take over from me in a matter of months rather than years.

“All his plans, appointments of people and his actions were towards the actualisation of his marabout’s prediction. Once I realised his intention and programme, I watched him like a hawk without giving any indication of what I knew and letting down my guard. I could not succumb to the distraction, diversion and malevolence of an ambitious but unwise deputy.

“The work in hand was more important than a confrontational relationship with my deputy, a man over whom I knew I had far more experience and outreach in all matters. To alert him of what I knew he was up to, would only lead to lying, denial, more mischievous plans and more duplicity on his part.

“He was better managed that way. What was important was not allowing myself to be surprised or outmanoeuvred by him. I must always seize the initiative and know what was going on if not in his mind, but at least in his camp. That I did very effectively.

“Sometime in the fourth quarter of 2004, an associate of Atiku came to my residence at the Aso Villa from Atiku’s official residence. He felt uncomfortable and I tried to make him feel at ease. Then, he settled to tell me the story of what had just transpired in Atiku’s residence. I listened with rapt attention.

“He went on to say that Atiku told him that for him to become the President of Nigeria, the 2007 elections were only a formality.

“The seven ingredients he needed for his enthronement were already in his hands. He controlled the National Assembly because both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives were in his pocket. He controlled twenty-eight out of thirty-six governors. He had control of the media. His influence over the judiciary was overwhelming.

“What he needed was foreign endorsement and for that he had employed two lobby groups in the US and one in the UK. And finally, the money for the elections was in his purse.

“When the man finished, I thanked him without passing any comment. The man was surprised at my reaction and asked, ‘You have nothing to say to these?’ I said that I had nothing to say and I immediately called my ADC, Chris Jemitola, to play a game of squash with me.

“On our way to the squash court with my ADC, I said, ‘People at times make plans and leave God out of their plans.’ My casual remark struck Chris and he said, ‘Sir, that was a profound statement.’ I said that I made the statement because of what I had just heard of Atiku’s plan. I was not convinced he had put God in his plans.

“Atiku was confident and God was laughing. Most of Atiku’s ingredients soon started to fall out of place one by one. The first was the party, PDP.

“He thought I was powerless and had no clue about the execution of his plan with his group; part of his attack on me was for national chairman of the party to give the first salvo, then other things would follow as his grip on the party would be firm and consolidated.

“That salvo came in the form of a letter to me from the chairman of the party, Audu Ogbeh, who had fully defected with (Iyorchia) Ayu to Atiku.

“The letter, which was not the product of any issue or matter discussed with or at any party meeting, came suddenly. When I received it, I could read the sinister intention behind it.

“I spent that night writing my reply and I sent it in the morning. My reply was clear. I wondered why Atiku and his group did not realise that with my reply, the battle line was clear or maybe they thought that the seven ingredients would remain intact to the end.

“My assistants had moles within the Atiku group. Anything that they planned would be reported. That was the case after Ogbeh’s letter. They decided that Ogbeh should appear remorseful and come with the National Working Committee to apologise to me. It was not from their hearts, but to lure me to a ‘killing ground’.

“All pieces of information that were reported were verified because it would not come from only one informant.

“Timely information is a very important principle of war and also of politics. In politics, just as in war, what matters is not just your plan, but knowledge of your opponent’s plan. Knowing their plan, I had the choice of playing along with them or being firm, I chose the latter.

“I told Ogbeh that my relationship with him as national chairman and me as national leader of the party was based on mutual confidence and trust. But with his letter, my reply and what I knew of him then, I could no longer work with him in confidence and trust.

“There were only two choices left for both of us in our best interest and that of the party – he, leaves as chairman or I leave as leader of the party.

“The following Sunday, I called at his house, which I had done on several occasions in the past when there was an important party matter to discuss. This time, I asked him to give me an undated letter of resignation as the national chairman.

“I waited, he gave me but it was wrongly addressed to me rather than to the national secretary of the party as stipulated in the party’s constitution.

“Ogbeh reported to his group and it was decided by them to play on and to wait for my disgrace whenever I presented a letter of resignation not addressed to the national secretary.

“The informants did their job and I, once again, paid another visit to Ogbeh at his residence. He entertained me to a meal and drink, and changed the addressee on his letter of resignation.”

The Testimonial given in August 2018 in an interview with PremiumTimes:

“How can I be on the same side with Atiku?” Mr Obasanjo asked. “To do what?”

“If I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me. If I do not know, yes. But once I know, Atiku can never enjoy my support,” he added.

“I do not have personal grudges with anyone,” Mr Obasanjo said. “If you do not do well for Nigeria, you do not do well for all of us.”

“It is not a question of working with or not working with an individual,” he said. “If you are working for the good of Nigeria, I am working with you. If you are not working for the good of Nigeria it does not matter who you are I am not working with you.”

“Most of you do not understand the way I operate,” Mr Obasanjo said. “And I thought your own paper will understand better.”

“I know Atiku very well. And I have mentioned my position with Atiku. My position has not changed,” he said.

“If my children are getting married, he has sent representatives. If his children are getting married, I have sent representatives. That is social. That is not political”.

Nwaforj44:
Youth leaders from the South-South geo-political zone, under the auspices of Niger Delta Coalition for Peace and Progress (NDCPP), has congratulated Atiku Abubakar over his victory at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential primaries.



The group, in a statement on Sunday signed by Charles Kalada Dan-Jumbo, however, urged the presidential hopeful to consider apologising to the geo-political zone over events leading to the 2015 polls.

“Atiku owes the zone and former President Goodluck Jonathan an apology for leaving the PDP in the build up to the 2015 elections, which denied the region a second term at the Presidency.

“Such apology is necessary, even though the zone has forgiven Atiku,” the statement read in part.
The group also noted that the exodus of Atiku and other PDP leaders to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was partly responsible for the loss of the 2015 presidential election.
“Suffice it to say that the geo-political zone has always played a pivotal role in the shaping of the character and content of the nation.

“The just-concluded primaries, adjudged the best so far, was midwifed by Niger Delta people and hosted in the zone.
“This can be displayed in the key roles great sons and daughters of the region have played in the history of the country.
“Painfully, we all pretend like yesterday never existed, especially those of us who were key actors in disposing of the previous government.
“Today, we must learn to apologise for our wrong deeds to rebuild trust, else everything we present now is on a fallacious foundation.
“Apart from Atiku, we also call on others, including the Senate President Bukola Saraki as well as Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Rabiu Kwankwaso, among others, to tender an apology to the region and former President Jonathan, for denying the region of a well deserved second tenure.
“Their action was due to impatience and misconstrued perceptions, especially since that same government took us from a weak economy to the number one economy in Africa.”

Faceless groups from APC

We go extend that MTN fine to DSTV too.

Their mumuu don too much

BabaRamota1980:
When Yoruba disagree with another Yoruba he will remain silent and not utter what you just said. We know how to tell each other apart from foreigners amongst us, who though speak fluent Yoruba but are not of our pedigree.

Find your level...

keep deceiving yourself.

Wiseandtrue:
Tinubu knows that Nigerians needs Atiku to make life colourful na him e carry power go give Buhari

He means one thing and does the other!

he's little vote from SW is needless now people are wiser and the terrorist in aso rock have lost the trust from so many middle belt states, from Kwara, Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Gombe obviously Adamawa atikus home town.we full ground for lagos to battle it out.

BabaRamota1980:
Political analysts are already outmatching one another in articles after articles, editorials after editorials, in a competition to present the Atiku campaign team with a step forward, a winning strategy that will end up with credits to the best contributor; possibly even an appointment as a Presidential Aide.

Each has a different style and approach but all without exception agree that no candidate, Buhari or Atiku, can win without SW influence. In other words, Yoruba can make or mar a candidate's march to victory.

This is significant!

In my own review it is hard for anyone not to notice what the Yorubas have systematically done in their region. In a sheer strategy of positioning for political strength against any party candidate they have thoroughly installed a unified and homogeneous political rulership in SW. All six states are under one party APC. This is dangerous for Buhari, even moreso for Atiku. Why do I say this?

SW is the only region in Nigeria histoically known to give a party a blanket victory at local and regional level but turn around and vote the opposition to victory at national level. So there is a danger to Buhari. He stepped on some toes in SW.

His lack of gratitude to Tinubu's role
The biased treatment Ife indigenes
The repeated invasion of Falae.

Yorubas are known to not frett an injustice, but wait patiently for the right time to strike and sink in their bottled up venom.

Buhari must not relax on the assurances of Tinubu to win SW, this is not 2015...he must correct his errors with Yoruba.

The biggest odd of winning the Presidency is with PDP's Atiku. Every field of consideration for him in SW is dimmed and voiceless. What this means is Atiku will need to sell himself as a Yoruba and raise appeal in SW.

In an unrelated discussion on the issue of restructuring someone with deep feet and knowledge in Nigerian history and politics told me that if Yoruba were to have a country for themselves they will end up directly impacting the political and geography of five West African countries and indirectly that of another one in the region. He shared that there is a co-joined destiny between Yoruba states and Hausa states that had its root in ancient times and that even in modernity that relationship had not been broken, to the extent Yorubas view those in the traditional Hausa states with a familiarity and acceptance not extended to anyone else. He said in Kano where he grew up there were Yorubas that had privilege above other Northerners in the native administration. For instance someone from Ibadan accorded more respect and treated muvh better than say another person from Yola or Zamfara.

That is evident here with Atiku. Where Yoruba views a person from Hausaland as an old ally, those from Adamawa had never been an ally historically, neither were they foes...our paths were just not in harmony. So for an Atiku from Adamawa to gain inroad in Yorubaland he will have to prove his Yorubaness. This is the bottomline why he must get a VP from SW and the hint is suggested uniformly by those busy analysing his next steps forward.

In whichever way it is viewed, Yoruba remain the Kingmaker in Nigeria.

speak for you and your family, when you mention yorubas don't generalize it, we're wiser now
