One cannot be sure what was on Mama Taraba’s mind when she decided to endorse Atiku for President. Did she not realize it was a “lights, camera, action!” moment, meaning her words were going to be heard throughout Nigeria? Did she not realize it came down to serving two masters, which is an impossible task.
Whatever she was thinking, she certainly set in motion the Atiku 2019 conversation on social media.
See below:
Atiku is unelectable in the morning, afternoon and evening into the midnight.
Asides his lootability, I have listened to him speak, dull— Souljah (@jeffphilips1) September 6, 2017
😂 U read Atiku's tweets, then go on YouTube to hear him speak.
Suddenly u remember Brain(+pinky) campaigning with Abraham Lincoln's statue.

Atiku this Atiku that, Someone who was Vice president for 8years and could not do anything remarkable.

They say Atiku is saying the right things. Lmaooooo. One of it includes his proposal to transfer federal Universities to States.
— TA 🍊 (@Tope_soft) September 7, 2017
How dumb can it get. To propose that Under his new favourite mantra Restructuring, Universities should be transferred to States.

So dull , no creative thinking, not sharp and has no charisma, he just wants his money back

Don't worry about Atiku, he will not win any national election in Nigeria. I'd rather merge forces with Nnamdi Kanu. 👍

Can't remember where I read it but apparently he was financier of the SDP alongside Shehu YA.

There's no way Atiku can be worse than the disaster presently occupying Aso Rock

Atiku deserves the ballot
They tell you NER is a excellent administrator but when you interrogate it, no substance.
But Atiku should not be an option for Nigeria.

I will not stand for deceitful people who want to lump Buhari and Atiku together. Both have nothing in common. If they do, please show me
— Her Fokken Majesty 🥰👑 (@cremechic11) September 7, 2017
Nobody should tell you that nonsense without you questioning it. Atiku has always had a plan which he's chased doggedly since 2003
— Her Fokken Majesty 🥰👑 (@cremechic11) September 7, 2017
Interrogate all options available and decide who to support for yourself.
That is the true beauty of democracy. Don't let them think for u
— Her Fokken Majesty 🥰👑 (@cremechic11) September 7, 2017
At least Atiku has the good sense to hire competent social media handlers, unlike the "Fulani loan repayment" guy & Aso Rock.
— Onye Nkuzi (@cchukudebelu) September 7, 2017
The concerted and sustained attacks on Atiku can only be explained by one thing – fear. I'd say the man is in with a shout in 2019.

Sounds about right.
