I agree he has political connections across the country; but remember 2007. Atiku had more national politics experience than Yar' Adua, but Yar' Adua won the election.

So it could happen again.

in 2007,obj was about to handover and he obj made sure that atiku was not even cleared until about 3 weeks to elections. At that time ,obj used all his presidential powers to frustrate atiku. Atiku is a very powerful politician and he is someone the northern elites feel very comfortable with. In 2007 ,it wasn't between atiku and yaradua ,it was more of atiku vs the president and yet despite all oobj powers then atiku was still able to pull some strings. Do you know that ,it was that atiku exit from pdp then ,that is still haunting pdp till today?

True, OBJ was particularly vindictive towards Atiku then. But can he win an election running against an incumbent at the Presidential level? It's difficult to predict.

Or just maybe GEJ, in trying to right the wrongs of the past, could have a secret agreement to handover to Atiku in 2019 if Atiku decamps back to PDP.

just like I said earlier ,atiku stands a very good chance of becoming a president in future but he can only achieve this in and with pdp. For now he can't win against gej ,but I have been trying to look at our politicians and especially those from the north and I think by 2019 ,atiku is likely to be among the top 3 strongest politicians in nigeria but like I said all this can only be possible if he is in pdp. He knows this,he has been around in the political circles for a long time and don't be decieved bro,all what atiku is doing now might be a dress rehearsal for 2019,which is just around the corner

Buhari is the only presidential candidate that APC party can features to convince poor masses that they are embodiment of progress and change. If they don't then we will sit right here to see how their bathroom water will metaphosis to an oceans. We all know that GMB is a man of integrity which his cabinet will certainly be a terror to cabals and those billion-pocketed. May God has Mercy on this sick Nation Amen.

I bet he has got the hint buhari will probe if he wins. The new guy might just be a cowardly criminal like him. A typical nigerian politician who will dare not probe criminals like himself.

After I read this,

I was disappointed they all want a puppet they can control

May tambuwal be as GEJ is to OBJ

Exactly.

The corrupt Nigerian elite, be they Hausa-Fulanis, Igbos, Yorubas, Kanuris, Tivs, Ijaws or whoever, can go to anything length in their desperate efforts to stop the emergence of Buhari as the next Nigerian president.

In fact the fear of Buhari is a singular unifying factor that binds all the thieving Nigerian elite, regardless of their party affliations, ethnic or religious differences. They are all equally worried and fearful of the unknown: what would be the fate of all the massive ill-gotten investments that they have been cornering all these years, for themselves and their families only, at the expense of the long-suffering Nigerian masses and their children?

This is how Dele Momodu succintly puts it:

"The Nigerian Mafioso is united in its pathological hatred and/or trepidation for Buhari. Despite the fact that Buhari would have to govern under a different democratic climate, those folks are still scared to their pants about what Buhari’s government portends for members of the privilegentsia. As a matter of fact, this is the veritable source of all smear campaign and fear-mongering against Buhari."

This is why I love the APC, they allow the speculation and propaganda of the PDP over who emerges their presidential candidate to serve as a means of getting public opinion. So far, public opinion has been gotten on age, region, religion, etc. This will give the APC a wider picture of what Nigerians really want.

But unfortunately, some cunning pro-JEG elements among the NL mods use their positions to surreptitiously and craftily stifle enlightened debate on the relevance or otherwise of age, region and religion in our collective yearning for a good, responsive and responsive government that would cater for the welfare of the majority, instead of the few privileged ones.

Although I do not easily subscribe to conspiracy theories (and I can recognize one, when I see it), yet I am becoming more and more convinced that the crafty pro-GEJ NL mods cunningly muzzle voices of opposition to the GEJ government, thereby defeating the whole essence of a forum like this. Or else, how can one explain the systematic killing of debate on two recent brilliant pieces by Dele Momodu and Sonala?

Are you surprised? I remember when the rejoinder of the PDP to Fashola's lecture made front page, whereas the thread on Fashola's speech didn't make front page. No more serious debate on this forum.

Chai na true. Oo.. This makes APC even Ammend some of their laws
If na pdp handiwork nd Tinubu fell for it APC might never taste Aso Rock

APC will have to wait for a very very very...long time to get to Aso Rock.
