Minna — A presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, had said that former military president, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has now assumed the leadership of the north and filled the vacuum left by late Saduana Ahmadu Bello.
Meanwhile, Babaginda yesterday emerged a national delegate to the party's special national convention that holds tomorrow at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
IBB was a presidential aspirant before the Northern Political Leaders Forum picked Atiku Abubakar as its consensus candidate for the PDP primaries.
However, it appears that the Niger State state government has not given Atiku its backing as the deputy Governor Ahmed Ibeto did not outrightly endorse him for the primary poll.
Ibeto, who received Atiku at Government House, Minna, said that there was nothing he could say, but to wait on the elders of the state to know whether to declare support for the vice president or not.
Atiku who was speaking when he paid a courtesy call on the Governor of Niger State, said Babangida was the leader of leaders and general of generals.
According to him, IBB was a symbol of unity for the north from the struggle to put down the third term attempt by former President Olusegun Obasanjop to the present struggle to entrench good governance.
According to him, what is now called Northern Political Forum was formed by G3 led by IBB to G15 also led by IBB. and now the Norttern Political Forum also led by IBB.
He said his determination to defeat president Goodluck Jonathan was borne out of the desire to clear the nation of third term fever adding that Goodluck ambition is an extension of third term agenda.
According to the Deputy Governor "elders are the people we hold to high esteem not only to guide us but to show us direction in the nation's affairs".
He stated further "we have discussed with our elders his Excellency (Atiku) will see the result" while saying that "I am really in short of words".

Is this guy, Atiku, on crack?

Hail the new Ahmadu Bello of the North

Does Atiku mean that the best of the North are the dust bins of the north?
I pity them.

This is Judas Iscariot's kind of "Hail Master"

How can Atiku say that IBB has entered the Sardauna's shoes?? Would this guy just open his mouth to say anything just to get votes? Was he on cheap drugs?

NORTHERNERS: Do you agree with this? IBB, not Buhari and some other unblemished personalities is your leader? I am waiting for your responses please.

Hmmmnnn,if IBB is all the north can offer as leader.
but of them(IBB n ATIKU) are both bad market.they have long overstay their shelve life.

It's not about Nigerians, it has never been about us, cast your votes wisely; not necessarily for the incumbent nor for this ex-vice, but for someone who is not a child (thinks not only about self).
Woe to the nation whose king is a child!

Is Atiku under the influence of shekpe or Kparaga? Have you watched Gen Buhari visiting any Northern town and the tumultuous crowd he pulls, all chorusing 'mai gaskiya, mai gaskiya' (a man of truth and credibility)?
IBB can go around the North unnoticed, so he is no gaddem leader of the North to be compared to Sadauna.
Haba! Kai, menini?

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, had said that former military president, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has now assumed the leadership of the north and filled the vacuum left by late Saduana Ahmadu Bello.

Nobody alive can fill the vaccuum left by the great Sadauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello.  This is a very disappointing statement from Atiku.  Neither Atiku nor IBB speaks for the North, these people speak more for their self interests than "Northern" interests.

"Politicians don't believe themselves and they are taken aback when (gullible) citizens believe them". . . Winston Churchill.  Atiku definitely does not believe he was telling d truth so i don't xpect northerners to believe him.

I dey laugh

This dunce can't keep from showing how clueless he is.

Maybe he meant to say that Babangida richly deserves the "Sarduanas treatment."

Atiku is suffering from Politically induced Dementia. He needs a doctor

Atiku can neva win this election

Same Atiku went to Beg OBJ.He wants public Sympathy by linking GEJ to OBJ.Ten OBJ is better than an Atiku.I know people who worked closed to him in his days at Customs.A Leopard never change his skin.Go and face disgrace tomorrow.

Is Adamu Ciroma no longer the leader of the north?
hehehehehehehe . . . I dey laugh

The guy that sponsored the first parcel bomb death in Nigeria is the leader of the north . . . no wonder . . .

desperation wan kill this guy called atiku why cant he just keep his mouth shut rather than ridiculing the true great pple of the north
