Truth is one of the most difficult pills to swallow but it’s indispensible anyway. Some Igbos have joined the bandwagon without asking some important questions. Here are reasons atiku can never win 2019 elections

He is not what some people think.

It is obvious from his recent history that he is just as integrity challenged as every other politician we have always complained about. From the PDP to AC, then to CAN. From ACN to PDP then again to APC and to PDP. Such talks about a detribalized man shouldn’t be taken seriously cos aside the fact that no Nigerian is detribalized, most of the reasons his supporters give to back up their claims are also true about Buhari and even more. An example is the claim that he had an Igbo running mate in 2007, but Buhari has had two Igbo running mates. Also people claim he has an Igbo wife but they forgot the claim that Buhari has an Igbo cook, an Igbo pilot and an Igbo daughter in-law, yet his administration has been the most anti Igbo since after the civil war. If we can accept him based on these then we could have accepted Buhari even more in 2015. Moreover, we know that he has never been a fan of restructuring unlike the likes of late Alex Ekwueme, Bola Tinubu etc. He only started flaunting the word lately without spelling out in details the forms it will take and the blueprint to achieve it. Yet, some of our people seem to be swallowing it. Most northerners and westerners believe they’ll lose in an event of restructuring. Some have even spoken against it openly. Why are our people behaving like they sighned a pact with him? Why then should some of our people believe a northerner can disfavor his people to please us? Do our people think he will not need the support of the north if he dares win, and will not do everything including retaining the status quo to pacify them?

Incumbency Factor

Buhari has contested election several times and rejected the results. It is diffult to believe that a man who instigated post election violence in 2011 and has rebuffed several advice not to contest will ‘allow’ himself to lose now that he has INEC, police, DSS, military, civil defence and religion to use. These institutions are all headed by his kinsmen, including INEC. Again, Most PDP governors need these institutions commanded by the president in order to secure their second term and will likely cut underhand deals with Buhari to support him secretly. The fact that jonathan’s loss was a first time occurrence is what our people seem to have forgotten. Lightening never strikes twice in the same place. Ekiti, Edo, and Osun election have proven that Buhari now has power and 2015 free and fair election ‘mistake’ won’t be repeated.

IPOB factor

Igbos have been voting since the the end of the war but things have only gotten worse and worse. No jobs, no power, no security, no roads and infrastructure in the east. In fact many people believe that the east is under a de-facto blockade by the Nigerian establishment which atiku that our people ignorantly support is part of. As a result most Igbos believe that pressing for a Biafran referendum through election boycott is the only way to eliminate suspicion among ethnic groups which hinders development and bring development to our people. South east and south south are supposed to be Atiku’s stronghold, but Ipob has called for election boycott. They have come to represent the aspiration of the people of our regions in the last three yrs. If you doubt it, at least accept that they command the majority public opinion in our region which they have demonstrated through sit-at-home and protests. The truth is that the Igbos are beginning to understand that Biafra is better and voting is useless in Nigeria. A vehicle like Nigeria which is broken beyond repair does not need a new driver, it needs dismemberment and only political jobbers think otherwise. Beside IPOB, facts on ground show that most Igbos were already fed up and were not too enthusiastic about the last election involving Jonathan which resulted in low turn-out, how much more atiku a northerner. In addition, this is the first time the election boycott will favor buhari’s immediate ambition and he is likely to support it subtlety, all to atiku’s disadvantage and Biafra’s gain.

Ethnicity

We all know Nigerian politics is ethnic politics. Most Igbos fail to realize that all these talks about development during campaigns is hogwash. This is even why Nigeria can never develop. Jonathan lost not because of anything bad but because the north and west felt he wasn’t part of the anti-Igbo establishment and the increasing suspicion that he will upturn things. Buhari still enjoys cult followership in the north west, north east and some parts of north central because of his ethnic group and religion. Only a little change occurred in the last three and half yrs. He is only likely to lose in plateau, benue and kwara and win in all other northern states. Most SW states are already in apc and will vote him with the hope of getting the presidency in 2023. As a result atiku will find himself in a dilemma in choosing vp. If he chooses an Igbo he is in trouble, if he chooses a Yoruba, he is in bigger trouble. Notherners know how to mobilize the rest of the country with anti Igbo sentiment. They’ll label him a Biafran supporter if he picks an Igbo and what happen in 2015 will repeat itself. Does it surprise you that arewa youths support an Igbo VP candidate for PDP but not For APC? If he pick Yoruba, the remaining moderate Igbos will dump him and obey boycott in protest.
If he has chosen Peter obi as being rumoured it is worse still for him. Remember the 2006 massob killings in Onitsha, the ezu river saga etc. Obi is neither a force to reckon with in PDP nor Anambra politics, not to talk of Igboland in general. He never won a senatorial seat in for Apga in 8yrs. Besides, All the PDP heavy weights like Chris Uba, Ulasi etc are against him, which was why he couldn’t win his ward for PDP during the 2017 election in Anambra. Again, Obi has been at loggerheads with Obiano his successor who now tacitly supports buhari. It’s difficult to see how Obiano will support him.

Foreign support

Both US and UK supported buhari’s candidacy in 2015. While it’s clear they US no longer supports him there is no evidence to suggest they are backing Atiku.

Igbos should open their eyes and follow Biafra whole-heartedly.you can’t want to win in Nigeria and still want to get Biafra. You can’t eat your cake and still have it. It’s called hypocrisy . leave election for Nigerias cos nothing will change whether you vote or not. It may appear like we are losing out in Nigeria but with focus we’ll win.

I hate this, because Buhari is a monumental failure.

Atiku will lose and badly. He will be massive beaten in the two biggest electoral sections (NW and SW).

Atiku gained nothing from Obi because SE would vote against Buhari no matter what. SW will now be tribalistic and vote against Atiku because they will say PDP has marginalized them.

It's Politics 101 and Atiku has failed massively.

Man I just feel for Nigeria because the closer elections come we will begin to see people lie to Atiku and take his money but not work for him because they know it's DOA.

Selecting the VP can't win you an election but it can LOSE you one!

It's painful seeing How atiku has been able to brainwash people without a blueprint for economic revival and restructuring the country.

I asked my friend today, if we vote atiku and he turns out to be another scam like buhari, how do we save face and demand referendum again?

There is no hope for Nigeria because the west needs Nigeria and Africa underdeveloped so that they can keep taking our resources.

We need to sit down with atiku and sign an agreement with him that he must restructure the country before we give him our votes.

Athiefkulooting indeed! Let them keep Athiefkulooting while we keep repairing and rebuilding what they destroyed with BuhariBuilder.

If you sign agreement will you implement it for him? can you restructure without referendum? can you retructure without passing through national assembly which is constitutionally fashioned to favour anti-restructuring elements. our youths are lost!

CilicMarin:
You can't accuse Buhari of Favouring the North, his constituency and expect the same people to abandon him for another person...Where has it happened?

Do you expect the South West to abandon Osinbajo, APC and Tinubu and Vote for Peter Obi of the South East? Do you know that the South West, having invested everything in APC will not abandon it when they are almost 1 leg to the presidency?

Do you really believe that an Atiku, despised in the north without support in the South West will defeat Buhari with Cult followership, State apparatus and all?

ponder on the above as you "Atikuloot".

Atiku despised in which North.?


Pls, go and sleep.

when campaigns starts you'll start to hear things like 'atiku president of Biafra' or we 'patriotic nigerians' against 'anti nigerian atiku'

Already they have started calling him a Biafran. It is only Igbos who have refused to learn that their destiny does not belong to nigeria. Every other group struggling in this election have something to gain from one nigeria exept the Igbos . tufiakwa!

No mind the jonzing manchi..
I dey sabo now..came in yesterday from abj..
Was at Central mosque today.. went to pick some materials at Central market..

Bros buhari popularity over here is based on almajiris level..
And some student fanatics..

Average business man c.market is tired if the whole government..they don't vote based on sentiments..they need money and dias hunger in the land.

Took my time to discuss with them on this Atiku matter..

All pdp have tondonis to make kwankwaso visible during campaigns..that's all

Majority have lost faith in the Dullard..even almajiris don't get it as they use to..

The elites have all abandon the Dullard..
Sabo is on lockdown for Atiku..


Actually did offered the man you mentioned a free flight today..

Told him to leave his enclave ..ans see things himself.
He sidon for oshogbo dey abuse me..

Atiku is getting enough vote from Kano if he works with kwankwasya..the believe him Wella.


Buh I can assure you bubu is not getting that 1,9 mill he got the last time

Is clear to all in Kano ..

Don't mistake APC tribalistic politicial agenda as that of everyone. That party is evil division filed waste. If you ibos decide not to get involved, you are just allowing them to rig themselves in using you.

The work of BMC must be really tough. They've been jittery since Atiku was chosen.

All this long epistle just to repeat the same propaganda trash they've been saying for long.

The only two things that's even worth worrying about is the ipob problem. Atiku should look into that and do something about them influencing a low turnout in ibo areas. The second is that evil party raping our democracy by trying every way thinkable to rig themselves in. That's one area PDP need to focus on.

Atiku has never been a grassroot politician (notice that no legit northerner on NL supports him) and he further shot himself in the foot when he chose an igbo man, igbos that have cursed Hausa and Yoruba people in every way imaginable. You also cant expect the Yorubas to eliminate their own as vp and go for a dispised ibo man.

The election is now igbo vs Nigerians. What of atiku dies now after winning? ibo becomes president? God forbid. Not after all their crimes.

Nobody is jittery about anything. Do you expect us to keep mute while you decieve yourselves? Can you tell me how atiku can possibly win with the support of the se alone?

Its on record that every candidate ibos support ends up losing in an election. That will not change come 2019

The only time south west supported a candidate and he won an election was in 2015 after supporting the losing side on 4 previous occasions.

What makes you think he isnt? dude you live in your SE apartment and have no idea what goes on here. From the NE to the NW, Atiku has always been hated in the north (Long before 2015). If you think otherwise then i challenge you to show me any proof that he is influential in the North like Buhari. I keep telling you people that its only Kwankwaso that can manage up to 40% of northern votes against Buhari. That is because he has a level of support unlike atiku

UgwuAghachi:

That was because we didn't cooperate with each other then. We also supported CPC but we couldnt win cos of anpp and Acn.

Well said, knw the system b4 commenting

The Hausa and Yoruba deserved every single curse for destabilizing Black people, not just the good Ijo, Igbo, Erik, Ibibio, Igala, Idoma, Ogoni, peoples.....

Don’t worry, a special power is already killing the leaders from Arewa from Abacha to Yar Adua to nearly Buhari, but when it saw Osinbanjo, Buhari was spared...

Buhari leading the polls

Going through this thread, I felt like crying for Nigeria.... Damn who did we offend....

Even in 1966 the same and by 2019 the same because you actually have 3 different nations pretending to be one because they can go to Lagos or speak pidgin....lol

My brother u know lie..... I just confirmed that this country will only move from bad to worst, until we realize going our separate ways is the solution

Ojukwu had the right idea but came up with a wrong process to achieving it ......

What have we actually benefited since we are deciving our self with one Nigeria

Alright, since the likes of modath are criticizing me i will take down this comment but next time avoid trying to mock someone especially when you know that you have an even greater weak point

abduljabbar4:


lol. The funny thing is that only the igbps are doing the cursing and they remain at the greatest disadvantage. We destablized the igbos alone and we are the reason why you are not that much in number. We killed 3 million of your brothers. If they had lived and married, you would have been up to 12 million more but the good people of hausa and Yoruba massacred you down. You brought namdi kanu and he was massacred together with his useless pigs yet again so i wonder how dumb that special power is.

Common now..This is undesirable & sickening!!!
