EX NIGERIA VICE PRESIDENT TO BUHARI,” YOU ARE POWER DRUNK” AM SCARED!

Nigeria’s former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar, has said he has “fears” for the country’s election next year as he attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for intransigence and wanting to cling on to power.


Abubakar, 71, was vice-president under president Olusegun Obasanjo between 1999, when civilian rule was restored in Nigeria, and 2007. Since then, he has been a presidential candidate three times for three different parties but failed to make it through the primaries. 

He left the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the last elections in 2015 that saw Buhari become the first opposition candidate to unseat an incumbent president. Atiku, as he is referred to across Nigeria, praised Buhari at the time but has since dumped the APC and rejoined the PDP, accusing it of failing to deliver on promises.

Abubakar on Monday described Jonathan, who was lauded for conceding defeat to Buhari, as “much more level-headed” and a “peaceful, very patriotic Nigerian”. “We are dealing now with a retired general (Buhari), very uncompromising, also power-drunk who will not be ready to leave power without a fight — or at least those are some of my fears for the current elections,” he said. Buhari, 75, is a no-nonsense former army general who headed a military government in the 1980s but ran a campaign four years ago calling himself a “converted democrat”.
