11 REASONS WHY ATIKU WILL LOSE IN 2019
1. PORT HARCOURT DOLLARS:
He overspent on the PDP Primary in Port Harcourt, out of desperation.
Spending between $9,000 and $12,000 per delegate was too much, some of
that money should have been saved for the campaign proper. Also he
entered into too many deals and political concessions in PH, in order to
get the ticket, those deals are now coming back to haunt him.
2.
PETER OBI: He made a big mistake in the way he chose Peter Obi as
running mate. He didn’t consult widely, no wonder the Southeast
Governors are not happy with him, and will very likely betray him. Even
if he was still going to choose Obi, he should have at least made an
effort to carry stakeholders along.
3. NO ABUJA MONEY: This is
the first time the PDP is running a presidential campaign without access
to Federal Funds. PDP campaigns in the past have always been done with
Abuja money, not personal resources. A lot of people haven’t realised
this yet, but when find out in January 2019 that money is not flowing
like they thought, they will have second thoughts about Atiku.
4.
CLOWNS: The Atiku campaign is being fronted by many of the same
characters who led Goodluck Jonathan astray. Characters like Reno, FFK,
Ben Bruce and Osita Chidoka. These are people who everything they touch
goes bad.
5. TOO MANY LIES: The Lies are getting too much,
another big sign of desperation. They lied that Peter Obi’s account was
frozen, lied that Atiku called Lt Col Sakaba’s widow, lied that Nigeria
has only 2 million cars, lied that Atiku employs 100,000 staff, lied
that Atiku will pay his staff the new minimum wage. It’s like Atiku and
Obi are now in a big competition to see who is the bigger liar. Soon
they will tell us LYING is not CORRUPTION.
6. SOUTH WEST: The
South West is not happy at all with PDP. The PDP has not treated the SW
very well at all. The zone has been deprived of the party chairmanship
which was originally zoned to it. It has also been deprived of Campaign
DG and Party Spokesman. The previous holders of these two positions were
from SW, but they were kicked aside. The highest ranking SW person in
the Atiku campaign is Fayose, that’s how seriously Atiku rates Yoruba
people.
7. NORTH: Atiku is not as popular as he would like you
to believe in the North. His 8 years as VP did not convince anyone he
had the interests of the masses of the North at heart. All he was
interested in was amassing personal wealth, to expand a business empire
that mostly benefits him alone. You can see that many PDP aspirants in
the North are using PMB’s photo to campaign, instead of Atiku’s own.
Many aspirants are ashamed of identifying with a candidate with such a
strong local and international reputation of corruption.
8.
CONFUSION: Out of desperation the Atiku campaign has appointed EIGHT
spokespersons. This is a recipe for confusion, and the confusion has
already started. You can already see the nonsense statements all the
spokesmen are issuing, including the one that claims Buhari owns
Keystone Bank, when in actual fact it is Atiku and his in-laws who own
it.
9. NO UNITY: There are too many strange bedfellows in the
Atiku Campaign, and there is nothing central to unite all of them. At
least you can say APC is united by the belief in PMB and his vision for
Nigeria. Nothing like that to unite people behind Atiku, apart from the
belief in quick money and access to public resources. And everyone knows
that money is not a good binding agent; it will divide more than it can
unite.
10. FAILED PLAN: The Atiku Plan was an instant flop. It
showed that all the time they went to spend in Dubai writing it was a
waste. They must have been focused on other things in Dubai, maybe the
lies and fake news strategy they have been trying to roll out. The only
thing people can remember from the Atiku Plan is that Atiku wants to
sell NNPC to his cronies (the same way he sold things when he was VP),
and that all his plans are 6-year plans, there is nothing he intends to
achieve in 4 years.
11. SOUTH EAST: Atiku is seriously banking
on the Southeast to win the 2019 election. Another sign of the bad
judgement that Obasanjo has talked about in the past. Yet his (Atiku’s)
base in the region is smaller than GEJ’s base in 2015. A lot of Igbos
have had their eyes opened, and are seeing all the infrastructure work
PMB is doing in the SE. PMB will get more votes from the region in 2019
than he did in 2015.
