Nigeria is my country and my most favorite real estate on earth. Even if, I never again in my life time step a foot on Nigeria’s soil. Was Nigeria some other country? I would have been amused at the traitorious and treacherous statements credited to the king of vice, Abubakar Atiku!

This man Atiku, is clearly lacking in good logic, good sense and sound judgment. How else does anyone explain his incredulous suggestion to the effect that President Obasanjo resigns? It just does not make any sense. President Obasanjo is the head of Atiku’s ticket!

Nigeria practices a presidential system of federal government. The People Democratic Party or PDP is the party in power in Nigeria, as it was the PDP that produced President Obasanjo and the king of vice, Mr. Atiku. This also clearly means that the president is at top and heads the ticket, while the king of vice, Atiku is at the bottom.

If the king of vice is unable to be supportive of the head of his ticket, he should pretend that he has some dignity and honor left in him and resign. If the king of vice no longer have faith in President Obasanjo’s administration, of which the vice is supposed to be part, the king of vice should quit immediately! In fact, some have, on several occasions in the past, demanded for the king of vice’s resignation.  

President Obasanjo is not answerable to Mr. Atiku the king of vice but, instead, the vice is answerable to the president of our republic!

When and if President Obasanjo commits a breach of Nigerian laws, or offends the Constitution of Nigeria, and if President Obasanjo engages in any improper, inappropriate or outright illegal behavior, the Constitution of Nigeria prescribes procedures for tackling errant presidents. Mr. Atiku is like a substitute teacher in a classroom where the substantive teacher is engaged in actual teaching, while the idle substitute teacher demands the resignation of the substantive teacher or even the principal

The substitute teacher should search for employment outside of this classroom and outside of this particular school. Mr. Substitute teacher should in fact be ejected from the school premises forthwith. Mr. Substitute teacher has engaged in rowdy and disruptive behavior. He cannot make policies for the substantive teacher or worse, for the principal, the oga patapata of the particular school. He is a misfit.

All things considered, Mr. Atiku has been a great disservice to President Obasanjo. Mr. Atiku has been a great disservice to the PDP and what is much worse? Mr. Atiku has been bane of Nigeria. Mr. Atiku is said to have egregiously caused the derailment of Nigeria’s privatization and deregulation efforts. He is said to have hijacked the BPE activities for his personal profits and benefits. Mr. Atiku’s umpteenth wife, Jennifer Iwejiora Douglas E Atiku of the multiple millions dollar mansion in Maryland infamy was subject of mind boggling controversy and scandal last year. As she is said to operate a non-profit organization and with her income at approximately $200 a week, which is less than the minimum wage for unskilled workers in America. Jennifer Iwejiora Douglas E Atiku bought a mansion worth multiple millions of dollars! Atiku claim this mansion as his and the mansion was acquired after Atiku became part of President Obasanjo’s administration.

Atiku’s behavior as such, which he has since acknowledged, is illegal. Upon this discovery, Atiku’s engagement in improper and impeachable conduct that is, Atiku should have resigned or should have been impeached forthwith. Atiku’s call for the resignation of his boss, his chief executive officer or CEO is tantamount to monumental and colossal display and demonstration of utter disloyalty, betrayal of trust, and utmost treachery!

President Obasanjo is the CEO or Managing Director of Nigeria’s affairs. President Obasanjo does not take orders from his subordinate. Would Vice President Cheney as President Bush to resign? Of course not! Should a manager in a company order the managing director of the company to resign? But of course not!

President Obasanjo has done nothing illegal or impeachable. Even if he has, the consequences are carefully and clearly enunciated by our constitution.

If Atiku’s feigned concerns are in connections with the so-called third term agenda, Mr. Atiku can resign now in protests or wait until May 29, 2007 when his term expires. Atiku is full of contradictions and self-serving shenanigans. He should resign and just go.

In the alternative, Mr. Atiku could in fact announce his lack of interests in being part of any third term ticket or arrangements. He should quit as part of President Obasanjo’s government, just so, Mr. Atiku can concentrate on the currently nocturnal and clandestine activities of The Turaki Vanguard.

Atiku must resign, instead of acting as a major distraction and blab-mouth.

Mr. Atiku is stabbing his boss, his PDP political party and Nigeria in the back.

Atiku’s disloyalty to President Obasanjo is legendary and it is exemplified by Atiku’s public hostility to his PDP political party of which President Obasanjo is head and leader of government in Nigeria, at the federal level.

Atiku has engaged in the most egregious anti-party activities and he should resign immediately or he should be impeached forthwith!

# 2 I be damned. Mr. ILN, you must be losing it. Atiku was attacked ILLEGALLY by the mad dogs of Obasanjo. Obasanjo bribed many members of the House and Senate, simply to change the constitution for personal gains. Obasanjo was involved the murder of the attorney general of Nigeria and the wife of Rimi. Therefore, Obasanjo is a criminal and Atiku is doing Nigeria a patriotic favor by speaking against a criminal president. Atiku should be awarded a patriotic citizen’s award and prices and OBJ should be prosecuted for treason and criminal abuse of the House member by SSS. Atiku must not resign. He must not be murdered either. I do not worry about any of these things happening to Atiku because OBJ and his supporters have no guts to face the war that would result from such illegalities.

# 4 Atty. Adujie, Your resume and cover letter for employment in Obasanjo "government" is very impressive. Very soon, you will be called to help Obasanjo perpetuate himself in power, and smoothen his way through a lot more illegalities at Aso Rock. As an Attorney, I would think you should be concerned about Obasanjo's unconstitutional acts like doctoring the electoral bill, meddling with the affairs of the National Assembly, governments of Anambra, Bayelsa, Oyo, Plateau, and Abia. His refusal to obey numerous court orders, and above all, his lack of respect for the very foundation of democratic societies: The Rule of Law. There is one thing I was told in Law School that I will never forget. It is that "Law Students must never forget that thay are fitting themselves to be ministers of justice." In essence, we are supposed to fight societal wrong anywhere we see it. Does this make sense to you? I will be surprised if it does not. Thanks and God Bless. Posted by pukpabi| 07.04.2006 07:47

# 5 I am no fan of Atiku at all, but it's clear from this article and the past posture of the writer that he has taken it upon himself to see the faults in Atiku, Kalu and whoever seems to be against his boss, Obj, while turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the many vices of his master and lord. Atiku hijacked the BPE according to him and therefore qualifies to be condemned but he forgets that you cannot alot blames to people on account of privitisation misdeeds without mentioning Rufai, a strong worshipper of his boss. Atiku, with his family, has been associated with controversial deals yet this holy writer did not bother to talk about the Ikoyi housing scandal, ministry of defence and other national scandals that were linked to family members and relatives of Obj He suddenly goes blind when police men working for the president teargasses innocent mothers on a peaceful protest, when security operatives pulls down an honourable member of parliament and drags him on the ground, when a labour leader is pulled down and dragged on the tarmac of an international airport. He does not smell the stench of corruption and nepotism associated with the third term madness but knows how to demand that critics of the agenda provide an alternative to his anointed king. At least he should be given kudos for remaining faithful and consistent. I am waiting for brother Uche to come and ask us again if someone is interested in running Paul out.

# 6 Dear Saul adujie(as some pple suggested you be adressed)....why art thine articles so myopic and narrow minded..??yes you have clearly failed to mention all the scams..the "managing director" has been involved in..?Maybe thats why the "Headteacher" is so scared to "sack" or impeach the assistant teacher..?just to remind you of a few....The odi killings, the Coja games Scandal, the indirect accusation of Gbenga obasanjo towards his father on harbouring corrupt officials(i.e el rufai et al)..,The anenih scandal,The Ikoyi-gate scandal,outright disobedience of the rule of law,Withholding of lagos state government funds....>and the listt goes on and on..... Now i am in no way an atiku supporter i actually believe both men are Corrupt.... and Corruption is the bane of the nigerian society. So next time when writing your article try to be more neutral....being neutral in no way affects a critical writer.(i.e maybe your article would have been more credible if you started thus..... "Both men might be corrupt but what earns atiku the right to tell his boss to resign" Its interesting you put your picture beside your article i dont know how old you are but i assume you are clocking 40. I am only 20( i wasnt born in 1999) and very appalled with your mode of writing of the above article. We all need to be plain in order to move nigeria forward and nurture our "semi democracy" into a much stable democracy as practiced in an ideal world. Apologies in hindsight if i was a little bit harsh on you..... I was replicating my thought into text.... cheerio...... Posted by One register.| 07.04.2006 07:55

# 7 Hi, folks! Please disregard this laughable rant from Mr. I Love Nigeria (pass everybody) , the General Over-Praise-singer, Sycophant-General, Eye Service Specialist, Chief Arsehole Licking Officer, Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, Mr. Paul Adujie (Esquire). If Aso Rock Villa wants to auto-ignite, so be it. If General (Chief) Olusegun (Baba) Aremu Okikiolakan Mathew Obasanjo (GCFR), and Customs Comptroller-General (Alhaji) Atiku (Turaki) Abubakar (GCON) feel like chopping off each other’s throat, na dem palabar! After all we are in a democracy. (Abi I lie?) I hereby sincerely wish Mr. Paul Adujie (Esq.), and his fellow gang members of the inner caucus of the official Patriotic OBJ Nyash-Smellers’ Association of Nigeria in the Diaspora, and in cyberspace, a couple of bloody merry karate chops, and a bleeding mutually assured destruction in their ego battles and boringly never-ending rọfọrọfọ fights, at least for the sake of the peace, unity, progress, stability, tranquility, indivisibility, federality, and continued corporate existence of Nigeria, in hot pursuit of their various personal agenda, under the guise of practicing their very funny strain of NASCENT democracy! Mr. Paul Adujie (ILN), Mr. Taslim Anibaba, Nosa, Omovudu, et al, please blow yourselves up well, well! I wish you all well. May your in-fighting never end, Amen! Muchas gracias.

# 8 Mr Egunje sorry Adujie, Let me start by saying that I do not support either OBJ or Atiku, that the only interest I support is a stable and progressive Nigeria. Pls can you provide questions/comments to the following: 1. If Atiku had been in support of the 3rd term would u still hold on to your views about him as expressed in this article? 2. Are u aware that in the Uk Brown and Blair also have differences ranging from tenure to economy? 3. That Blair has never used state machinery to hound brown's supporters. 4. What happens (God forbid) if OBJ drops dead, are we to pray for his resurrection so that he can continue his good works? 5. Do you know that economic reforms minus political stability is equal to Nigeria jaga jaga which is tantamount to scatter scatter. Sometimes I think u engage in these inflamatory articles of yours because u have no plans of going back home so cant be bothered! Listen to your opening statement: Some of us have no other place to go except Nigeria, so if u cant contribute positively then leave us alone! Posted by Zhul- qarnain| 07.04.2006 08:13

# 9 Adujie has clearly lost it. Paul, do step back for a second and ask yourself how your fellow lawyers and other Nigerians will see you after you've made this much mess of yourself. Can even you respect yourself after all of these recent mad rantings? Is the money you're hoping they give you really worth it? Mind you, the administration you're rooting for at your credibility's expense is on its last legs. Who would want to publicly associate with you after these? People had low opinion of NIDO before these but your affiliation might devolve to leperous. Stop making a spectacle of yourself! Free Publius Posted by Free Publius| 07.04.2006 09:18

# 10 Hi, folks! NEWSFLASH!! EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT ...Gaddafi wants African MPs to expunge term limits for presidents! While Nigerians are busy criticising their president, General Olusegun (Baba) Obasanjo, for trying to tamper with Nigeria’s constitution just for the sake of elongating his tenure, the Libyan sit-tight leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, has urged parliamentarians across Africa to amend the constitutions of their respective countries to remove the presidential term limits. Addressing the Senegalese parliament as guest of honour at the country's 46th independence anniversary on Tuesday, 4 April 2006, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi described constitutional term limits as "an obstacle to the development and good functioning of States on the continent". His audience included seasoned tyrants, and sit-tight civilian dictators like Presidents Joao Bernardo Vieira of Guinea-Bissau, Omar Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, Pedro Pires of Cape Verde and the African Union (AU) chairman, Mr. Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo. … SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: This is a special announcement, calling all registered and duly accredited sycophants, praise-singers, and OBJ Nyash-Lickers for an extra-ordinary meeting at Abuja, for a solidarity visit to Aso Rock Villa, en-route to Tripoli, Libya, for a special “Thank You� courtesy call on the Great African Visionary statesman and Democrat, His Excellency Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, for his contribution to democracy in Africa in general, and in Nigeria particularly. Please collect your air tickets, chop money, and the usual WELFARE, compliments of Baba, from Mr. Paul I. Adujie (Esq.) who will be in Room 4/19 (PDP Wing), at the Presidential Guest House, Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, as from 1800 hrs, Saturday 7 April 2006. TYRANTS OF AFRICA, UNITE! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR SLAVES! Muchas gracias. Don Juan Carlos (ABRAXAS (III) Source: http://www.guardiannewsngr.... Posted by Abraxas| 07.04.2006 09:33
