2027: Atiku vs others

Atiku, whose long-standing membership and influence within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) further underscore his deep entrenchment in the nation’s political establishment, has never held any number-one electoral position in Nigeria.

As the country prepares for another round of 5050 dalliance with native hegemons whose plans are never known until unveiled, as rival interests collude with pseudo-spiritualists to purvey misguided advice to the contestant most probable to carry the ace, as citizen scientists begin to journey to heaven and back simply to argue the electorate away from doing science at such a time, as Atiku Abubakar (GCON), Wazirin Adamawa and Nigeria’s 11th vice president, possibly finally awaits his day of destiny, and as the whole world watches and awaits consequences of an exercise that may decide the very survival of our troubled enclave, one can only trust such message, as here modestly declaimed, shall offer Nigerians the beacon to navigate the labyrinths of critical decisions as they are confronted.
