Why I’m Not Visible In Buhari Campaigns – Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has stated he is not fully visible in the campaign rallies and programmes of the presidential candidate of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari, because the campaign secretariat has refused to invite or consult with him in its programmes.

In an interview with the Hausa service of the BBC monitored Friday morning, the former VP said he has paid his dues as far as politics is concerned in the country because he has participated in many presidential campaigns in the past.
“I campaigned for late Shehu Yar’Adua twice successfully,” he said. “We did that of Abiola, Obasanjo and for myself.
“I am not a light weight politician, whoever needs my presence should contact and extend invitation to me.”
Atiku said he has already made his feelings known to the Director General of the Buhari campaign organisation, Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
“They need to check the strategy they are adopting and I made that clear to the campaign DG, Rotimi Amaechi and I told him that if you don’t consult or invite me, you will not see me,” he said.
Asked whether his remarks meant there was crisis in the APC, Atiku said the situation has not degenerated to that extent.
Atiku, however, said although he had “issues and reservations” with the way the campaign was being run, he expressed the view that it was not too late to make amends.
The former vice president also said he was confident the APC will win the elections.
“APC will win because everyone is tired with the current administration,” he said. “So, despite the challenges in APC, change will surely come.”

I was surprise whenever I read many of our people comment here concerning Jonathan about coming election, why many Nigerian like suffering and smiling. We are not after party or tribe matter on this coming election, all we want is better changes for our dear country Nigeria. Let's forget about tribalism or religion matter for now, lets fight for better Nigeria. We are all tired of dumb and corrupt leader, nothing to write about for 6 Years Jona has ruled us. Most of our people has sold their future because of peanut money they gave them, that's why we see many negative comments here about Buhari. Nigerian ! Nigerian !! Nigerian !!!, let's wake up from our slumber and fight for the future of our dear country. Many European countries were always ask us, what are we doing in their country with all the minerals resources we have in Nigeria. There is no single day I woke up and happy about the situation in my country Nigeria, because of greedy, wicked and selfish leaders we have. May God intervene and deliver Nigeria from wicked and blood sucker Jona on this coming election.

It's  so disheartening and surprise to see  why some jobless people post rubbish comment on this site after collecting bribes from Jonathan campaing group to distabilise the peace and progress of our country then the next thing is that they will start dancing like headless chicken. While million of Nigerians are living in poverty and dying every day. I think it time we should give other party a chance to see what difference they will make.  Remember Nigeria belong to all of us and not meant for some certain greedy and corrupt set of people so please if you don't know what to post just pray for God intervention in our beloved country enough is enough.
