OBJ has already expunged it by ing him in 2019.
Atiku is known not to have had a smooth run on the t ticket with him.
That certainly was enough animus for Baba to write the way he wrote about him.
A rethink has apparently been made and Atiku got his and will get it again.

After Baba made a rethink, Atiku wo 97% of Southern States.

Don't stand alone my friend. Loneliness is a political sin.

OBJ reiterated that all he wrote about Atiku is true. And OBJ (another thief) ing Atikuloot (a big thief) should not surprise anyone. Na dem dem. They just want to continue where they left off with more stealing.

Atiku won 97% of SE and SS states (not SW), and with heavy rigging. Let's see how he will perform in 2023. I trust my aboki brothers. They will never vote for a thief like him.

VULCAN:
Even though you are a liar

Must you also be daft.

It was clearly mentioned in the very first paragraph.

BMCs like you are the dregs of our society.

Mtscheww!

Those words in the first paragraph were not his exact words, it was the publisher (gazette) summarising his interview with a sensationalised intro. Read his exact words further down.

FarahAideed:


He didn't bulge but somehow he refused to publish unemployment Statistics for 2 years leading to the 2019 election..keep fooling yourself sir

Do you know what is involved in researching and analysing unemployment figures across the hole country? Its better being late than being false.

I Stand Firm By Those Things That I Have Said About Atiku. They are true - Obasanjo

Farotimi72:
NO OTHER THAN ATIKU.

You can vote for him as your regional President. But Nigerians will reject him. We don't want another Fulani.

kelly72:
If PDP fails to give Atiku the ticket, they stand no chance of winning. Among all, he is the one in the list with more loyalists that can work in the grassroots across the country.

Second, he is a household name and is mentioned mainly for his friendly disposition across tribal and religious divides, so his campaigners don't need to sell too hard to break through.

[b]Many of the allegations thrown at him in the past turned out being trash as all those turned out to be the handiwork of politicians frightened by his political reach in the country and therefore wanted to cut him back in order to win elections. [/b]His last visit to USA totally disarmed his accs as they went silent ever since.

Within the North, Atiku can match any other Northern politician vote for vote, cash for cash, propaganda for propaganda, influence for influence etc, and I will be astonished if any Southern opponent is able to poll even 15% of the votes Atiku could get from the North East and Central alone.

In the South, the results of the 2019 presidential election says it all. In spite if the huge rigging deployed to give APC the upper hand, Atiku defeated Buhari in 13 of the 17 States of the South taking 2 States from the APC dominated Southwest, a clear indication that he is very popular in the zone.

Age only slows a person down and only slightly affects productivity, but depending on several variables. A man who is sound educationally, economically and a wealth creator, 74 but healthy, can be as productive as any of his counterpart at age 50. Besides, I never heard before that Atiku spent one month in hospital.

More importantly, Nigeria is currently bleeding from religious and tribal strife as well as invasion by foreign criminal elements. There is a huge feeling of State sponsored hate crimes everywhere and the indications for the next two years are that violence will continue. Nigeria at this point needs a leader whose ears are not blocked, who has no ethno-religious agenda and who is gifted in dialogue and has the credibility to persuade people to forgive and hands. Atiku is that bridge builder, his friendship with various parts of the country dates back decades.

So if PDP and all its aspirants really want to return to power, they should all resolve to Atiku Abubakar. He will assemble Nigeria's best brains, not its worst terror sympathisers, to help Nigeria back to growth.

I not unmindful of the legitimate demand of the Southeast that the presidential tickets be zoned to them. That is the right thing to do as they have many qualified leaders who have the above listed qualities as well. But in the present circumstances, there are just too many land mines on the way of an Igbo person winning a presidential election in 2023. There is a need for a conscientious Northerner to clean the sullied table so we can lay the white cloth on it. Patience is the word.

This is just an attempt to rebrand ESN and save Nnamdi Kanu’s neck. It won’t work.

vedaxcool:
PDP southern slaves begging their Northern masters to govern them. I have done more for a Southern presidency than all the PDP southern wailers and bigots.

They want to continue fulanization ... You see herdsidiots have alway been about politics than the actual problem.

The media campaign of a perceived Fulanisation will backfire if the same opposition and agitators decide to go for another Fulani. That would be playing into the hands of the APC candidate.

Rolings:


Misleading headline

How can the headline say forced to publish false statistics but in the story he said he never bulged from all the pressure

Gazette Nigeria have their audience. Agenda must agend.

FarahAideed:
When I said this man was being forced to publish false data many zombies insulted me and now I have been vindicated ..the Day Yemi Kale was replaced within 12 hours the new Clown at the NBS released a hoax of statistics which he termed 5 percent Growth

But he said he didn’t bulge and continued to publish the truth. Or you missed that bit of information?

What’s his name?

Angeltjazz2017:
See this people as if dem go see anyone to come and watch willingly. If you see anyone in stadium watching Nigeria match no be from south maybe they are from north or paid watchers.

Who Nigeria help OGUN LOMA BAYE NIGERIA JE

Another ignorant one. The stadium had about 5,000 ers the last time the SE played at the same stadium a few months ago and many more fans were outside trying to get in.

psucc:
They are using the COVID-19 stuff to cover up something.

1. How many Nigerians will waste their hard earned money to watch Nigeria match?

2. How many Nigerians will risk their lives for such a match?

3. Even the stadium itself may not be good enough.

Speak for yourself.

The last time they played at the stadium, there were thousands of fans outside the stadium trying to get in, while there were 5,000 inside who had tickets.

Do you live in Lagos? What do you mean risk their lives for such a match?

Prophet777:
This govt is not serious at all. After 8 years, you are still strugling to complete this road. Mowe/ Ibafo residents as well as others millions of travellers has been suffering on this same road for almost a decade.

Shame on you all and I know all these delays is just to campaign with the road in 2023.

The delays are primarily due to funding. Don't forget the government earnings have gone down due to drop in oil prices (from 2016) and COVID.

autolearner:
Decisions get made in Abuja but absolutely no effectiveness in implementation.

The real question is, the mechanics that get displaced from the places, what are the other options that have been provided for them to continue with their business?

Almost the same way LASG is asking people to move away from flood-prone areas without providing an alternative

The mechanics can go and rent or buy land and use as their workshop. The same thing road hawkers and herdsmen should be doing. Buy or rent space within the ambits of the law for your business. Enough of all this illegality.

Rugaria:
I have seen this video. Looks like it happened. Not sure but it's circulating on WhatsApp. But my observations for the critical minded and not the mentally disabled likes of ipobmalema are as follows:

1) Throughout the operation in the video, the insurgents kept shouting about Biafra. That to me is a red flag! I don't understand the desperation on the part of the "hype man" to ensure that anybody watching, notes that it's "Biafra warriors" at work, especially when the ESN has come out countless times to reject any involvement in extra judicial killings, except when confronted by marauding fulani herdsmen!

2) They refused to show their faces and have their camera down most times. Yet
the hype man went as far as naming the unit and location of the group that ostensibly unleashed the attack.

3) The IPOB authorities have made several statements available, where they stipulated that IPOB-ESN should not attack security forces unless in self defence and also should stop unecessary video press releases for obvious reasons.

4) The Umuleri-Aguleri axis mentioned in the clip is saturated with military and paramilitary forces of the Nigerian state. Anambra airport is in that axis, the governor is from that axis. Orient petroleum has her operational facilities in that axis, Ditto cosharis farms and others. The place might look lonely sometimes, but is well secured.

5) The most dangerously sinister angle to the whole scenerio is the fact that just last night, tens of trailers importing military hardwares into the Eastern heartland, were revealed here and in other platforms. Buhari thinks he can cow the igbos. .. Boko Haram ISWAP and fulani herdsmen are on rampage in the North, but it's starting to look like Buhari is preparing himself for a genocidal inquest in the East!?

Calling a dog a bad name just to hang it? Buhari will fail in Biafra land..

Its really shocking seeing how some of you are denying the obvious and defending IPOB/ESN.

Whether Boko Haram/ISWAP or Fulani Herdsmen are on rampage in the North, it does not mean you should replicate the same madness in your region. Those you listed have a different agenda to your favourite IPOB. And they are rightly despised by majority of Nigerians. But it appears IPOB with all the evil they have committed over the last few months are somehow liked and ed by your ilk. How many more igbos have to die at the ands of this evil organisation before you call evil by its name? Very sad.

buckeyemedia:
Tell your people to urbanize your state, build rail racks, bridges, ICT infrastructure, industrialize the rural area, there will be nowhere for your so called enemies to hide, instead you scope low like the animals you are purportedly complaining about?

Na dem dem. All because of 2023.

November1857:
Parasitic Aboki'll always wail and cry on anything about IPOB, cos their entire life and generations are being threatened by IPOB activities due to the parasitic nature..

I hope you know this isn't an IPOBian forum? If you don't want Abokis to comment on IPOB activities, then don't post them here. You need clout hence why you come here to post your sit-at-home (else you die) nonsense.

Again, if you don't want to become another statistics of unknown gunmen aka ESN, biko stay indoors. They are not joking. The sit-at-home must be enforced with extreme violence until Mazi Kanu is released in 2023.

November1857:
According to Pained Aboki

The only one who is pained is you going by your reply. If you love yourself, just stay at home and don't get killed by unknown gunmen aka ESN. Are you hearing me?

Isn't this old news from 2013?

I don't blame them for staying indoors. Nobody wants to be killed by unknown gunmen aka ESN.

Playing to the gallery. Nobody knows this guy but he keeps on trying to get into the news, First he decamps to APC and then this story. He better go and find a proper job before it is too late.

obehi247:


it is inevitable with the seed the current buhari govt has planted

No war would happen in Nigeria. Most of the agitation is a fight for positioning for 2023. Once Buhari leaves the throne, most of the agitation will take the form of constitutional changes demands. So, we should be praying for a peaceful change of government in 2023, not war.

obehi247:
Nigeria actually need civil war

Maybe in your village, not in mine.

There are two different Miyetti Allah associations with different agendas.

Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore on one hand does not the open grazing ban and are threatening to disobey any law. These are the militant group, always spewing incendiary rhetoric.

Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) on the hand hand s the ban. They are more reasonable and respect the sensitives of the other ethnic groups.

So not all herder associations are in disagreement with the new laws.

Let's not group all Fulanis or northerners under the same umbrella.

Its time their Patron talks sense into their head. Why is he quiet?

OkoAmarashy:
Ordering hits on security operatives is the biggest mistake this foolish Kanu made.

His lawyer said " "At least, he's still innocent before the law.".

Meanwhile, all those policemen, soldiers, prison guards et that were killed did not have their opportunity in court. His mental torture has just begun. The blood of those killed will never give him peace.

Aburada:
The fact that people vote Bubu ahead of this man in 2019 surprises me till date. How can you not vote an educated, smart and eloquent man and prefer a dullard who knows nothing about the economy.

The funny thing is that these are the set of people who believes all politicians are thieves. Like when you have a chance to vote between 2 thieves are you not suppose to vote a better between the 2

What suprises me most is the result of votes that came from Benue state, despite the fact that herdsmen almost finished them. Buhari was still dragging votes with Atiku.

That's why till date any killing news that comes from the state and the North in general don't move me as long that it does not extend to the south

You can’t have a thief in charge of your economy. It would be back to the days of stealing is not corruption.

Goldbw122:
it seems like there is no one fighting against the enemy, is like the north have share in the problem they are facing

Has it occurred to you that our military could be overstretched?

And 11 years of Boko Haram has deeply affected some Northern communities with children growing up under war conditions, not being able to get educated or learn a trade end up choosing crime as a way out of that hard life. As the saying goes, the chicken has come home to roost.

AsampeteNwaanyi:
tell us another story
how many kaduna nearby villages has been destroyed because of this?

now ponder if it was east

our redemption will start the moment we start telling ourselves the truth

You didn’t understand my post. The military goes after the perpetrators whether in the bush, homes or in the forests. They’ve been doing than in Kaduna including bombing raids. That’s a FACT!

Ponder on that for a minute.
