Icheoku says if the big man from Adamawa has learnt anything from his years in politics, it does not include how to navigate the treacherous waters of politics. After severally denying that his splinter group did not have a fore-plan of breaking off from the PDP, the infamous Abubakar Atiku has finally come around to own up to an act of betrayal of a party which gave him pardon and readmitted him back into their fold. Icheoku says yet this renegade had lied previously that their staged walking-out in Abuja PDP's mini convention was spontaneous?
Anyway a fugitive from justice who was dared by Obasanjo to travel to the United States and be arrested can only open his mouth in a country where his ilks feel they are untouchable and above the law. Despite what he suffered in the hands of Obasanjo and the mercy showed him by Jonathan in readmitting him back to the PDP from which Obasanjo had expelled him, this mallam had the temerity to gang up against the man who showed him mercy as well as the audacity to own up to it.
What an ingrate, political bastard and prostitute this Abubakar Atiku is, that does not know what real politicking means and that loyalty counts and matters a lot in politics. But fortunately the wind has since blown uncovering his unbridled greed and penchant for disloyalty that it is safe to say categorically and unequivocally that he is finished politically in Nigeria. Icheoku says that Abubakar Atiku has now joined the ranks of those Nigerian politicians who are not nationally electable in Nigeria including Muhammed Buhari and Bola Tinubu. Icheoku says President Jonathan and Chairman Tukur should go ahead and formally fire these renegades led by those seven governors and Atiku from the PDP and make it official. Icheoku states that nothing cataclysmic will happen to the PDP with their expulsion as it is apparent since their attempted coup that their weight is paper-like and feather-lightweight as the grounds has not shifted in their favor. What a very foolish and tactless politician who has not learnt anything from his past experiences including how to bestow loyalty and reciprocate favors.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.

We planned for 4 months to split PDP –Atiku
ReplyDeleteSaturday, 02 November 2013
The crisis dogging the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have become more interesting with a remark by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that a plan to split the embattled party had remained in the works for four months.
In an interview in his Abuja home with a team of journalists from Rariya, a Hausa newspaper based in Abuja, Atiku also spoke on the situation of things in the ‘new PDP.’
Atiku, who had led a withdrawal of a number of governors from the venue of a recent PDP convention, claimed that “we have been planning for some time because we have spent almost four months planning how to split the PDP.”
The former number two man in the country said that he decided to join the plan because the reasons of the sponsors aligned with his long-standing grouse about the situation of things in the party.
“At first, I didn’t know the arrowhead, but they eventually came and met me and I joined them because their reasons are the same with the ones I have been fighting against within the party — lack of fairness, honesty and tyranny. If I can fight the military to restore democracy, why can’t I fight fellow politicians?” he said.
According to him, his faction of the party had appealed the decision of the courts declaring it illegal.
“We have appealed and we are planning seriously.You will see what will happen,” he said.
Responding to a question on the reason some chieftains of the party took offence to the purported ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan to seek re-election in 2015, especially since the president had not categorically expressed his interest in another term in office, Atiku said, “he did (say that he would run) since he said he had the right to run. What else is remaining?”
Atiku was, however, silent on whether or not he would run for the presidency in the next general election. “Why are you in a hurry? Don’t worry, it is not yet the time for you to know,” he said.
In the meantime, the Turakin Adamawa denied being in the know of any plans of the newly registered Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), declaring that “I am not a member.”
PDM is believed to belong to Atiku’s associates and those of the former Chief of General Staff, the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua
