My Presidency Would’ve Heralded Prosperity, Atiku Replies Bode George

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar says his presidency would have heralded prosperity, driven by competent persons.

Atiku spoke in response to Chief Bode George who earlier said had Atiku won the 2023 election, his presidency would have failed.

The former vice president added that his leadership would have safeguarded Nigeria’s interests, steering clear of the bigotry and nepotism and brigandage that he said characterises the present administration.

In a statement released by his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku replied: “Contrary to Chief Bode George’s imprudent talk, an @atiku presidency would have heralded an era of prosperity, driven by a cabinet brimming with seasoned and adept individuals, chosen solely on merit regardless of their background or beliefs.

“Such leadership would have safeguarded Nigeria’s interests, steering clear of the bigotry and nepotism and brigandage that characterizes this administration. Instead of the current state of disarray, driven by haphazard policies, Nigeria would have thrived under Atiku’s guidance.

“In contrast, we see Bode George, who once threatened exile, should Tinubu ascend to power, now oddly silent about the present administration. Is Bode’s reticence because Atiku is not from his region? It is prudent to consider Bode’s opinions with caution.

“Furthermore, Bode’s conduct is a disservice to the military, an institution esteemed for its unity. Here is a Commodore who, paradoxically, embraces tribalism and undermines the very principles of the military. It is a source of shame for the armed forces to have such a figure in their ranks.”
