Rising from a closed-door meeting yesterday with the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, that lasted close to an hour, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubarka, has clarified that the transformation which the incoming Buhari istration seeks to bring into governance will not occur overnight but will be a gradual process.

The former Vice President, who was exchanging views with journalists on whether the party is well prepared to manage successes it recorded at the general election, especially making good on its campaign promises, asked: “Are we not managing it? We are managing it and I believe we will be successful.”

While assuring that positive changes will definitely come, he urged Nigerians against expecting quick- fix measures from the incoming government, stressing that, “The only thing is that changes will not occur overnight, it will be gradual but definitely there will be changes and positive changes for that matter”.


He denied that his meeting with the President-elect has anything to do with the issue of zoning of principal offices to be occupied by the party in the National Assembly which the APC leadership had been battling with in the last two weeks as various stakeholders are pushing for their interests. In this regard, he said, “No, we just discussed some private matters.”

When pressed further by the newsmen, Atiku said: “It is still too early and moreover, it is something that the party’s leadership is handling, but I believe it will be resolve before the National Assembly reconvenes.”


Speaking on the alleged last minute action being carried out by the outgoing federal government after the elections, particularly as regards the sacking of some of the President Jonathan’s aides, Atiku said: “Well, there is nothing unusual in what is going on, that is PDP for you, inefficiency, corruption, name it, that is PDP for you.”

Nigerian politicians, they can never be trusted

That we know very well too..Only that the TANoids are impatient set of pple buh the hell if we care..


Growing up is a gradual process..you start from crawling b4 u can walk..and then RUN... In the case of Nigeria, we shall FLY too in the end

Many PDP ers don't even want the change to happen. Very unpatriotic lot. Let's just pray time heals their bruised egos.

The reality is before positive changes can occur in Nigeria, we Nigerians have to change the condition of our ownselves.

What wil he say bfor

We knew it won't happen, we warned Nigerians they were being scammed by the "change" slogan.

The reality is staring us all in the face, Buhari would chew gworro for 4yrs and leave Nigeria much worse than he met it.

Atiku should not tell us the obvious especially now that GEJ is busy sacking and appointing his moles to bring down our distinguish general government. I advise GMB to sack all the moles as soon as he is sworn in as the next President . Shikena !!!
