Atiku Abubakar has never been loyal to any PDP past president. He wasn't loyal to Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar'Adua or Goodluck Jonathan. He betrayed them all by decamping to another party just to fight against them in the subsequent elections.
Now he wants PDP governors to be loyal to him and support his own ambition? The PDP caucus knows that Atiku Abubakar wouldn't have been in PDP by now, if he had lost to Nyesom Wike in the presidential primaries. He wouldn't have supported Gov Wike as has always been his MO.
power in 2015. Now he has returned to PDP to contest for same office, without considering that it is the turn of south to succeed President Buhari. My question is this:
Has he lost that sense of justice and fairness he preached in 2015 to ensure that power shifted to the north?
Now mark this: Those people you are counting on as PDP members in the South East, South South and South West are not with Atiku, despite the fact they are still in PDP. You may think Gov Wike's fight against Atiku is between just the two of them. You must be mistaken.
Gov Wike is just the arrowhead in this fight. It's a fight against injustice and arbitrariness in PDP by a tiny group within the party. It's a fight against the blatant breach of the party's constitution and age-old conventions.
Check out his presidential electoral odyssey:
1992 Atiku contested & lost
1999 Atiku contested & lost
2003 Atiku contested & lost
2007 Atiku contested & lost
2011 Atiku contested & lost
2015 Atiku contested & lost
2019 Atiku contested & lost
2023 Atiku contesting again and will most certainly lose!
What kind of desperation is this???
This makes it 30 years since he started contesting for president in Nigeria.
Calculate the billions of dollars spent in primaries and general elections through out those years, and you think this individual will execute any single project as president if elected?
