4 Reasons To Choose Atiku Instead Of Buhari

4 Reasons To Choose Atiku Instead Of Buhari

All Progressives Congress (APC) has two main aspirants who will contest to get 2015 presidential ticket. They are Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar. And NigerianBulletin has formed 4 criteria according to which Atiku should be the APC flagbearer.   

1. Contribution to community

The source states that “Atiku loves Nigeria and he shows it in his own little way”. It is explained by the policy of Atiku after his office. His policy includes mentoring of several youths, doling out scholarships, empowering widows and creating hundreds of jobs.

The source marks that Buhari loves Nigeria because he just says it and Gen. Buhari keeps hiding under his self-proclaimed “poverty “to do no community work .

2. Age

The percentage of presidential death in Africa is about 15%. In other words, 9 African leaders have died in the office since 2008.

That is why Nigeria can’t afford one more deadly presidential case. So, while Buhari’s supporters think that age of 72 is advance, actually it is shortage. No doubt, at 68 Atiku Abubakar has less chances to die in office.
