A former presidential hopeful, Adamu Garba, has said the moves made by expresidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are just series of activities that will end up without a strong movement, akin to political suicide.
This was after Obi announced his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which he joined a few months ago. Kwankwaso is also expected to make a similar move from the ADC, a party chosen by a coalitionof opposition figures.
Reacting, Garba stated that Obi did not resolve his fundamental issues with major stakeholders but is moving as one man show, while Kwankwaso is a person of particular interest by the United States Government.
He said all these will play out and may consume their energies and relationships with the foreign partner stakeholders of Nigeria.
He said Tinubu will be more comfortable facing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar than any of Obi or Kwankwaso, because there’s a passibility political understanding between the two. He also stated that Atiku will be more preferably to confront Tinubu, because of same level of mindset.
“International partners are more interested in political pragmatism, maturity and stability on leadership, than some emotive, overly ambitious desire mask as common sense or humility.
“With our huge strategic gas reserves and the world is moving hugely in that direction, Nigeria will be of keen interest to all the major global players, particularly the United States,” he said.
According to Garba, International partners would prefer a Tinubu continuity or an Atiku Presidency, because “Pragmatism and Stability is KEY.”
“The duo of Obi and Rabiu are a possible distraction for one region, in the south and half a state in the north, for both Tinubu and Atiku, respectively.
“2019 may represent itself. This time around, as Tinubu vs. Atiku: the two most important refined democrats in Nigeria alive today,” he said.
