Atiku’s Presidential Ambition Has Long Expired

 By Mike Ikhariale

Barely 20 months into the present ad­ministration that is yet to find its feet in terms of purposeful gover­nance, some people who routinely profit from the nation’s political misfortune are already talking mischievously about 2027!

The premature cacophony apparent­ly started with some disgruntled northern federal legislators who have naively played themselves out of some powerful select-cau­cuses that surreptitiously run the National Assembly and are now seeking attention by resorting to the hackneyed regional politi­cal blackmailing cards that have unfairly served them materially for years but all at the expense of their own people.

Atiku Is A Scoundrel, A Bloody Nonentity...He Thinks He Will Become President By Insulting The North – Junaid Mohammed

*Atiku Abubakar 

Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has dismissed former vice president, Atiku Abubakar as “a scoundrel and a bloody nonentity” who is nursing the false hope that “by insulting the north,” he would finally actualize his ambition to become Nigeria’s president.

Junaid’s remarks came in response to Atiku’s interview published in the Daily SUN on Monday (September 25, 2017) where he said that those scared by the widespread calls for the restructuring of Nigeria “must be lazy” people.

“We fought the civil war with the Igbo. Today, the Igbo have been completely rebuilt, but we still find mud houses in the north. Is it the fault of the easterners that the north is like that?” the former vice president said.
