My dear, it is not magic. It is about the vision; Atiku Abubakar is on a well articulated mission to make Nigeria a better and rapidly developing economy. I will advice you to key into the movement for Atiku.

Atiku is only interested in "African Art" a.k.a bribe money.

Read the Policy Document slowly and gently, you will agree that this document is loaded to fastract our growth and development. It's a document that is all encompassing.

Atiku has everyone in mind and is passionate and ready to serve. You know he was the Vice President, his powers were limited to only delegated responsibilities as assigned to him by his principal but he still did his best during their time

Aren't you guys tired of this old and particular storyline. The article you referenced didn't mention Atiku but referred to an amount of money kept in a fridge with intent to bribe the Vice President of Nigeria.

Atiku was never tried on the matter by any competent court of law in Nigeria or the USA. In other words, he was never an accused or convict so I don't get the court you operate in your mind. You can keep accusing him as long as you are incompetent to try or convict him.

However, try to read, comprehend and meditate on the policy document. You will catch the feeling - get Atikulated.

@ Least Nigerians have seen all that the over-hyped Buhari-led APC government have to offer.So let's give Atiku a trial too.

The article didn't mention Atiku? Maybe, but the records of Jefferson's case are all over the internet.
You may go further to tell your gullible friends that the case never happened. That the congressman did not implicate Atiku in the bribery case.

The truth is that Atiku is corrupt and he would have been jailed in other well organized countries.

"Let's Get Nigeria work again". I hate this slogan. Has Nigeria ever worked? Please I need a candid answer to this question.

Atiku is well prepared for the job. Nigerians won't regret putting him in office in 2019

My dear, the answer to your question is yes! Nigeria was never the best but she worked some years in the past. Nigeria was an auspicious, dynamic and rapidly developing and growing economy in the past.

We lost the dynamism and progression and we have come a long way with experiences and lessons from the past. We can't afford to dwell in the past; we must move on to a better future especially because of the generations to come.

That is the reason we must keep fate with Atiku Abubakar and make it happen together. We can do it - Nigeria can be great again.

Leave that to the FBI. He needs to go to the US to clear himself.

He will be at the USA but we have a more serious matter to focus on going forward - we need to make Nigeria great again.

Atiku Abubakar is with us in Nigeria to achieve the dream, he can't be in America now.

What is jubril's policy statement?

People that have nothing to offer only wait for those who have tried to put something together just to attack and criticise it. If you were comparing it with the one that dullard had put together we would at least understand.

Did Atiku tell you he was a magician or a saint? I will rather take my chance with Atiku than with someone who claimed to have integrity and an anti corruption tsar only to become the worst thing that has happened to us in terms of integrity and fighting corruption, to now add bigotry, tribalism, nepotism and total disregard for the lives and property of the people he claims to lead. Nonsense!

There nothing more serious than keeping thieves away from our treasury forever. The cost is just too high on the society. The former British prime minister did not call Nigeria a "fantastically corrupt" country for no reason.

Let him go to the U.S first, not after the election when he can claim diplomatic immunity.

Unfortunately, he will disappoint you on this demand especially because you and I are not in a position to determine when he would travel to the USA.

My brother, don't hate a good man. He might just be your saviour tomorrow, give him a chance.

Everyone knows what the problems and probably solutions. All what Atiku stated are the same vague PowerPoint presentations we've had for ages (check NEEDS and the rest).
How will Atiku & PDP implement the plans, when they've already share the country resources before winning the election.
Saraki is already scheming the number of his associates that will head a parastatals and be signing N1m & N2m from there desk for doing nothing.
PDP has already engage Trump lobbyists that'll be earning $90k monthly (about N400m/yr), what else will remain by the time all these and many more are deducted from the treasury?

I'm waiting to be disappointed. Why must everything come down to accusations of hate! This man is asking to be made the president of Nigeria, that is my only concern about him. If he has allegations of corruption against him then he must address it.
I am not interested whether he is a good man or not, I just want to be sure he will not loot the treasury.

OK my dear brother, I apologize for assuming you were hating him. However, you heard this from me: Atiku Abubakar will not loot the treasury. He will confirm this position when you have the opportunity to engage him or better still, test him with the job for 4 years.

When we speak of a working economy, we are talking about good infrastructure ( road, rail, housing, etc), education, health, agriculture, technology and others. Since I'm born till date, no government's rating can boast of at least an E grade let alone C.

There is nothing progressive about this economy under the last and present one. If we compare price of commodities as against time, one will realise they are both the same.

I can't vouch for PMB or Atiku. Go ahead with your atikulation. Good luck

The period of progression was definitely not since 1999. It was in the days of our fathers. Do you remember the groundnut pyramid; the cocoa as major export product period; the period that a pound was exchanged for a natural.

We can improve this economy again. I must emphasize that some of us still believe there will be a great Nigeria, yet again.

Yes! I said Atiku Abubakar will not loot the treasury.
