THough its hard to believe there can be smoke without fire. the general perception is that he was supposedly more corrupt than Baba Himself. He has not helped matters anyway with his different actions especially with the privatisations. Now he's strategising on coming back in 2011. Can't say anything about the chances of that happening. Anyway there's a mock poll we started on the subject <a href='http://www.naijafreetalk.com/topic.php?id=7' title='Who will you vote for in 2011' rel="nofollow">Who Will you vote for in 2011</a>.

What is bad is bad.They are both thief.Am not defending Atiku but this is a case of gross misconduct on both sides. If you ask a Primary six(6) student in public school of Nigeria what he or she wants to be,the answer is to be a Senator,Gov,President......(Politician) etc.Nigerians think of how to make money than to help the nation. Thes guys are all thief,if they have the chance,the will empty CBN. Baba,should keep quite.Atike should shut up.

It may sound good to his detractors yet I have not heard anybody tell Nigeria what he did as VP to merit such labelling. You bring- 10 Nigerians together and ask them at gun point, mention one or two actions that amount to corruption as the VP is labelled. the sad truth is that they may loose their lives because it does not exist. Sadly if a thief runs out of a house after stealing and starts shouting and pointing ahead of himself as he fleas the scene of the crime -catch am na thief- unfortunately people will be looking in the direction the thief was pointing at and not to him the thief. I am reminded of an old lady saying -My mind is made up dont confuse me with the facts-. I believe that is where most nigerians have found themselves. I keep hearing that Atiku is corrupt.

Both Abubakar and Obasanjo are both corrupt. come to think of it Atiku abubakar wants Nigerians to vote for him while he has enjoyed the bread and butter of the ruling party. Plus if he is a man, honesty like he claimed. he should just forget about his politcal career now and make sure the present goverment is exposed. he has the power to do that while he was abroad. But instead he was just crying for his political gain. Beleive it or not i will rather have Yardua there than to have selfish Atiku has next president of Nigeria. A word for him. Help Nigeria not your political gain Mr. VP. Honestly, yo all Nigerian.
