Do you know how many times Buhari contested before he eventually win? Do you know how many innocent people that lose their lives each time he was defeated at the polls. Now be the judge, between Buhari and Atiku who is more desperate.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hired Brian Ballard, a top US lobbyist, ahead of the 2019 elections.

The influential lobbyist has President Donald Trump as one of his clients. Politico Magazine, a top publication in the US, says Ballard is closer to the US president than perhaps any other lobbyist in town.

“He’s parlayed that relationship into a booming business helping clients get their way with the Trump administration — and his clients and even some of his rivals say his firm has a better grasp of what’s going on in the West Wing than almost anyone else,” the magazine said in a report.

“Ballard was one of the top fundraisers in the country for Trump’s campaign and continues to raise millions for his reelection campaign. Wiles, one of his top lieutenants, ran Trump’s campaign in Florida and delivered the nation’s biggest swing state to the president.”

Documents seen by TheCable showed that Nigeria’s main opposition party has agreed to pay $90,000 (N31.5m) to Ballard on a monthly basis throughout the duration of the contract.

TheCable understands that the contract which was signed on September 21, 2018 is for a year, meaning Ballard would rake in close to N400 million from the deal.


Ballard with Trump at a fundraising ceremony
“This contract is entered into between the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria (“the Client”), Plot l970 Michael Okpara Street, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, and Ballard Partners, Inc. (“the F irm”), 601 13th Street NW, Suite 450N, Washington, D. C. 20005,” the agreement read.

“This agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods on the anniversary of the effective date of the agreement unless either party terminates the agreement. Upon renewal this agreement may be terminated within thirty (30) days written notice by either party.

“Duties of the firm. It shall be the Firm’s duty to consult with the Client and advocate on its behalf those issues the client deems necessary and appropriate before the US Federal government. Issues and objectives may include, but not be limited to, enhancement of US Nigerian relations; strengthening and advancing democratic values and the rule of law in Nigeria, with a special focus in the coming months on maintaining political and security conditions free of intimidation and interference in order to ensure the success and fairness of Nigeria’s national election for president in 2019. It shall further be the Firm’s duty to inform the Client of developments in legislation and policy relevant to the Client’s issues and objectives.


The master strategist
“It shall be the Client’s duty to provide the Firm the information necessary to best represent the Client. It shall also be the Client’s duty to timely compensate the Firm for its services.

“Compensation. The Firm shall receive from the Client $90,000 a month, payable in quarterly installments for this agreement, plus the reasonable costs associated with the representation, including but not limited to, necessary registration fees; and travel expenses.”

Osita Chidoka, a former minister of aviation, signed the contract on behalf of the PDP.

This report comes two weeks after Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the party, led PDP stalwarts to Dubai for a strategy meeting.

you people are just one ignorant that's hard to sensitize. so in your small brain she will go against her husband reelection? well that's her and her husband problem


I'm sure have faulted the first person that quote me comparative analysis and I'm cool with that


Atiku will never become Nigeria president with their atrocities in Nigeria revenue. PDP as a party can never rule Nigeria as a party with many people and the escalation of bokoharam that happened under their watch


never again to PDP in Nigeria

You have just one vote, I doubt if you have a PVC, let's see how you can stop him, when he wins you are free to leave the country as your PMB had earlier said, because we can't stay with people of your mind set in the same country, that allow for so much injustice all in the name of fighting corruption.

If you want this country to move forward there should be fairness, if not you will invite so much animosity in the system like it is now , APC is stealing but you don't see anything wrong in it, you stay very far away from any thread that gives APC a bad name, but PDP you all flood the thread like bees after honey

having ambition is good. But how far one goes in achieving it come to mind.

elei ti Ku(Sorry Atiku)has official age of 72years old. Yet to verify if he ever participated in NYSC. He has contested for this position many times. Now the last chance !

Group of looters regrouping again dear Lord!

and gullible jobless Nigerians, perhaps the lazy youths, those with Ph.D in social Media continue with non existing word of : atikulation, obikulate, pdplate, abujalate, adamawalate et all

say no to return of looters
No to Atiku

I don't know how true is this report but news from "the cable" appears to be authentic most times.

Back to topic, I told someone that PMB is a colossal failure but Atiku is not only a serial loot but a hardened criminal. His desperation stinks and clearly shows what he aims to achieve by looting the nation's wealth to nothing.

In short, majority of these wicked politicians deserve to die. The poor masses are begging for paltry minimum wage of 30,000 but these idiots choose to settle for 20k when neighbouring countries earn up to 40k and to mention not being part of OPEC body should be a huge slap on our government.

The looting ongoing in APC/PDP can't be phantom. I wonder what will be left for future generation when oil becomes useless. I even read it somewhere that the current NNPC boss failed to remit 91 trillion not even billion to FG account since 2016. What a shame!

Imagine paying someone USD 90k per month for the wicked ATIKULOOT to manoeuvre his way to power and somehow get pardoned by the US team to clear his charges.

I really don't pity these politicians but the stvpid Nigerian youths and shameful elders shouting Sai Baba and Atikuobi. Am done telling people neither PMB/ATIKU can fix the economy but trust some people will say let's settle for the lesser evil. Na una sabi. I can't wait to leave this country. Am done believing there is hope here.

What? That means Patience Jonathan didn't steal any money since she was not elected into any position. Or is her case different from Aisha's own?

I don't see this as an act of desperation by Atiku. I see Atiku as a man of clear vision. He is employing the best hands to get the best result. Note that Nigeria needs the best at this trying times.

Unlike Buhari/APC who wanted power but had no plans for Nigeria. On getting power, Buhari/APC became confused because they had no solid reasons for coming to power, for 6 months, Nigeria was directionless and in was utter darkness.

I think PDP has learnt its lesson and APC is learning the hard way.
