Of Atiku and 2019 elections

Published by

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar A has finally dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Atiku has been a prominent figure in Nigerian politics for a long time. For me, I can’t blame him for leaving the ruling party.

We all know that age is not on his side. He is 71 years old and if he doesn’t  contest in 2019, there may not be another opportunity for him.

The Waziri Adamawa is a consummate politician. He understands the politics of Nigeria.

Atiku’s return to PDP should serve as a great lesson to the ruling party.What made Atiku to join APC was the desire to realise his presidential ambition.

Since developments in the party had shown that he wouldn’t get the APC ticket, he didn’ t want to waste time.

The 2019 general election is around. Allah gives power to whoever He wishes and I want to use this medium to call on our politicians to play politics in a decent manner.

The era of do-or-die politics is over. The international community will continue to recognise former President Goodluck Jonathan for accepting  defeat in good faith.Dr. Jonathan has laid an example for other politicians to follow.

Now that the election is drawing nearer, I want to advise our politicians to give peace a chance.

If you don’t win today, you can still win at another other time.
