ATIKU ABUBAKAR :THE MAN,HIS POLITICS AND SAGACITY
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.
ATIKU,BUHARI AT A POLITICAL RALLY OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS
Win or lose in 2019,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will forever be
remembered as the one who dared the Tiger by the tail when he confronted the
alleged plans to extend Chief OLusegun Obasanjo 's tenure in 2007 via the now
rested Third term agenda.
His opponents have always accused him of corruption even if
they are at a loss as to how to produce any forms of documentations..
However,one thing that strikes any analyst of the level of
political principles of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was when bombs were said to have
being planted in an aircraft for his boss:Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and he leaked
this to him despite the fact that if the Egba High chief and elder statesman
had died he should have been the direct beneficiary.
Another incident that stands Alhaji Abubabakar out as a
politician with a large heart was in 2003 ,when virtually all the Governors of
the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party [P.D.P]were rooting for his
candidature but he refused to contest
against Chief Obasanjo thus showing a high level of political maturity even in
the face of personal ambitions.
