The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has read – with great amusement – the latest literary convulsion released by one Aare Amerijoye DOT.B, a man whose pen is clearly powered not by fact or logic but by recycled propaganda fumes.<\/p>\n
His write-up is not a rebuttal.
\nIt is a panic attack written in paragraphs, a political hallucination stitched together with buzzwords and bitterness.<\/p>\n
But because Nigerians deserve clarity, not clownery, we must respond.<\/p>\n
1. AARE\u2019S HYSTERICAL THEOLOGY OF NONSENSE<\/p>\n
The writer accuses Lagos APC of \u201cpolitical blasphemy.\u201d
\nBlasphemy against who?
\nAtiku Abubakar?<\/p>\n
Atiku is not a deity.
\nHe is not a prophet.
\nHe is not a moral compass.
\nHe is a perpetual presidential applicant whose political ambition has expired more times than Nigeria has conducted elections.<\/p>\n
The only religion here is the Church of Atiku\u2019s Permanent Candidature – with Aare serving as lead chorister.<\/p>\n
2. SINCE AARE WON\u2019T TALK ABOUT ATIKU\u2019S PUBLIC SERVICE RECORD, LET US HELP HIM<\/p>\n
Because while Aare was busy composing poetic tantrums, he conveniently skipped the one subject Atiku fears the most:<\/p>\n
His record.<\/p>\n
ATIKU IN CUSTOMS:<\/p>\n
A CAREER SHROUDED IN CONTROVERSIES<\/p>\n
Atiku \u201cretired\u201d as a \u201cDeputy Director\u201d – a rank that did not exist in the official Customs organogram at the time.<\/p>\n
His tenure was associated with:
\n\u2022 mysterious wealth accumulation,
\n\u2022 questionable import waivers,
\n\u2022 skyrocketing contraband influx,
\n\u2022 and persistent whispers about illicit enrichment.<\/p>\n
These are not inventions.
\nThey are shadows Atiku never managed to escape.<\/p>\n
ATIKU AS VICE PRESIDENT:<\/p>\n
THE ARCHITECT OF PRIVATISATION WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY<\/p>\n
As Chairman of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, Atiku presided over the worst economic transfer of national assets to private pockets in Nigeria\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
The damage remains irreparable:<\/p>\n
\u2022 NITEL – auctioned into the grave<\/p>\n
\u2022 Nigeria Airways – liquidated brutally<\/p>\n
\u2022 Ajaokuta – sabotaged<\/p>\n
\u2022 ALSCON – scandalised<\/p>\n
\u2022 Refineries – abandoned and ruined<\/p>\n
This was not privatisation.
\nIt was predatory concessioning.
\nA redistribution of national wealth to friends, fronts, and political financiers.<\/p>\n
Even the National Assembly shouted.
\nEven economists protested.
\nEven the international community questioned the anomalies.<\/p>\n
AND THEN OBASANJO\u2019S VERDICT – THE FINAL NAIL<\/p>\n
Atiku\u2019s own principal, President Obasanjo, described him as:
\n\u2022 \u201ccorrupt,\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cunfit for leadership,\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cdisloyal,\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cdangerous,\u201d
\n\u2022 and \u201cmorally compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n
In any serious nation, such a testimonial would end a political career permanently.
\nBut Atiku keeps pushing because his supporters keep bleaching his record with propaganda.<\/p>\n
3. LET US NOW ASK THE QUESTION AARE IS TOO FRIGHTENED TO TOUCH:<\/p>\n
WHAT HAS ATIKU DONE FOR ADAMAWA IN OVER 40 YEARS OF POLITICAL ACTIVITY?<\/p>\n
This is the question that burns the myth to ashes.<\/p>\n
Atiku claims he wants to \u201cfix Nigeria.\u201d
\nBut what exactly has he fixed in Adamawa, his home state?
\n\u2022 Has he lifted the state out of poverty, which remains among the lowest-ranked in Nigeria?
\n\u2022 Has he improved education, with Adamawa still scoring embarrassingly low in literacy metrics?
\n\u2022 Has he expanded infrastructure, when even rural roads around his political bases remain in prehistoric condition?
\n\u2022 Has he reduced unemployment, which remains sky-high in his senatorial axis?
\n\u2022 Has he created industries in Yola that employ people beyond his political loyalists?<\/p>\n
After decades as Customs strongman, Vice President, perennial presidential candidate and billionaire businessman, Adamawa remains:
\n\u2022 one of the poorest states in Nigeria,
\n\u2022 one of the least developed,
\n\u2022 one of the most underperforming in basic human indicators.<\/p>\n
If Atiku could not transform one state, how exactly does Aare think he will transform 36 states and the FCT?<\/p>\n
Charity begins at home.
\nBut Atiku\u2019s political charity never left the television studios.<\/p>\n
Adamawa is Atiku\u2019s mirror – and what stares back is failure, not leadership.<\/p>\n
4. AND FOR ANYONE STILL DREAMING OF A POLITICAL REBIRTH FOR ATIKU\u2026<\/p>\n
Let it be said clearly:<\/p>\n
Not even an experiment in political IVF can reinvent Atiku Abubakar\u2019s expiring political career.
\nThe cells are gone.
\nThe chromosomes have scattered.
\nThe ambition has reached menopause.
\nThe political DNA no longer divides.<\/p>\n
Yet his praise-singers are trying to resuscitate what history has already cremated.<\/p>\n
5. AARE\u2019S HISTORICAL REVISIONISM COLLAPSES UNDER FACTS<\/p>\n
All his noise about \u201cinstitution building\u201d is intellectual vandalism.
\nAtiku built nothing that outlived him.
\nHe simply harvested structures that others paid for and returned to claim credit after elections.<\/p>\n
Nigeria remembers.
\nNigeria is not fooled.<\/p>\n
6. TINUBU IS FIXING THE MESS ATIKU HELPED CREATE<\/p>\n
No amount of emotional essay-writing will change:
\n\u2022 PDP wrecked Nigeria\u2019s economy.
\n\u2022 PDP emptied Nigeria\u2019s reserves.
\n\u2022 PDP engineered the insecurity we battle today.
\n\u2022 PDP inflicted institutional rot.
\n\u2022 PDP supervised the decay of infrastructure.<\/p>\n
And Atiku was at the centre of that collapse.<\/p>\n
It is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is rebuilding, stabilising, and restructuring what Atiku and his party destroyed for sixteen straight years.<\/p>\n
*l7. FINAL ADVICE TO AARE:<\/p>\n
WHEN NEXT YOU ATTEMPT INTELLECTUAL WARFARE,
\nBRING AMMUNITION – NOT ADJECTIVES<\/p>\n
Your epistle was long, but empty.
\nLoud, but hollow.
\nDecorated, but delusional.<\/p>\n
The truth you fear is not just high voltage;
\nit is a national transformer,
\nand neither you nor your expired political oracle has the insulation to withstand it.<\/p>\n
