A vote for him is for the consolidation of Nepotism and all the accompanying ills that are humbling our unity and cohesion as a nation-state.
A vote for him is a vote for bigotry, sectionalism, and ethnic chauvinism.
I rooted for him in 2015; however, he turned out not to be the man we knew in 1984. He did not only place the mastermind of his victory under the bus, he turned a progressive mandate into an ethnic affair.
A vote for him is a vote for displacement, homelessness, joblessness, and ethnic cleansing.
A vote for him is for the culture of "crumbs falling down from the Table" for some fortunate few (the Second-Class Citizens) he could tolerate.
A vote for him is a vote for the escalations of the culture of the "Third-Class Citizenship Status" that you ignorantly hold and enjoy.
A vote for him is a vote for the bloodshed and insecurity that are eating away our fertile landscape.
A vote for him is a vote for the selective persecution that defines his administration.
A vote for him is a vote for the polarisation and debasement of the culture of esprit de corps ruining the Nigerian Armed Forces.
And why would you trust him with your vote if he couldn't trust you or your brothers and sisters in uniform with a space at the High Table?
Granted, he has done exceedingly well in the transportation sector. But, remember, dead men don't walk, don't drive. The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the victims of marauding herdsmen have no need for mobility.
Where is thy sting? The Boko Haram sect is gaining more territories in the Northeast. Communities in Zamfara State and Sokoto State are paying taxes and pledging allegiance to foreign forces alien to our culture and flag.
It's about your future. It's about your peace of mind. Your security. The education of your children. A sustainable income. Your inalienable rights over your land. And respect for one another in the way we live and the way we want to worship.
It's about a father figure, the one who feels your pain, your anguish. The one who gives you cause to dream again. A dream of our founding fathers, of true Federalism, and of a better tomorrow where equal rights and Justice are no longer an illusion but vested and celebrated.
It is about the values we share in common. Of a happy people, once celebrated by the international press as the happiest people on earth. Let's do it again, Nigerians. Let's rekindle that loud flame by Voting for Atiku/Obi Ticket to Aso Villa on Saturday.
Long live Nigeria, and long live the good people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
