Mixed reactions have continued to trail former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar return to PDP on Sunday after dumping the party since 2014.

I think it was in 2002 that Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly released the prophecy about Nigeria’s messiah. I am not a close follower of Tunde Bakare’s ministry but recent happenings and the need to move our nation out of the depth of struggle, unemployment and misery warrant a lot of thinking these days. Only an unpatriotic Nigerian will say he is not bothered by the constant instability in many spheres of our national life.

President Muhammadu Buhari is not moved by the defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC, of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and will not take his bait to pre-empt the 2019 presidential campaign, high-level Presidency sources have affirmed.

Lauretta Onochie‏, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media has said that Nigeria’s former vice president, Atiku Abubakar who announced Sunday that he had rejoined the opposition party has lost touch with reality.

ON September 19, 2017, a prominent Nigerian and one-time member of the Nigerian senate asked me two questions via a whatsapp post. The questions were: “How do you see 2019?  What are your permutations in APC and PDP?”  I received the post at 9.31 am.  Initially, I wanted to answer the questions in one or two sentences, but by the time I decided to reply the post at 11.41 am after I was done with the task on my table, I ended up writing something close to a thesis.
