• After a few years in the political wilderness, Atiku of Adamawa state is adamant about being relevant, and that’s the Wazirin Adamawa for you.
• Is he a Phoenix, or someone who can’t accept failure with grace, good or bad?

In the same way that a cat is compared to a horrible, shaky, and terrifying experience of life, and it is said that “it has nine lives,” Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former vice president and governor-elect of Adamawa state in 1999, will be compared to the cat in question.

The idiom refers to the difficulties or setbacks that men have when they try to keep their power, wealth, and grace in the public eye.

Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has long expressed his desire to run for president and win. He’s been involved in politics for more than three decades.

People who pay attention have noticed that Atiku Abubakar has had a strong, unstoppable, get-up-and-go crackerjack spirit since Nigeria had a constitution in 1999.

He possesses the characteristics of the Phoenix bird, which is a metaphor for immortality in Greek mythology, since this bird is endowed with DNA that cyclically regenerates itself, regardless of how many reversals of fortune it experiences. A phoenix, which is associated with the sun, takes on a new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor.

Many believed that the power behind the throne was Adamawa state ‘s Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri, and former Vice President to the then President Olusegun Obasanjo. He razzle-dazzled the PDP, of which he was a founding member, with money, clout, and grassroots control to the point where numerous governors, including Onanefe Ibori of Delta State, DSP Alameisighia of Bayelsa, and Orji Uzor Abia of Bayelsa, kowtowed to him rather than President Obasanjo. During the PDP presidential primary in 2003, many people thought that Baba had to bow down and grovel to Atiku in order to win a second term in office.

Yes, Baba was re-elected to a second term, but when he decided to seek re-election to a third term, Atiku, the consummate political ideologue, used every weapon in his inventory as Vice President and aspirant to rule Nigeria to keep our democracy alive by raising a red flag for a third term. As a result, he became a target for the PDP. At one point, there were attempts to have him deregistered from the party at one point, but he resisted, and the law courts ruled in his favor. Whether you despise or admire him, Atiku, the Wazirin Adamawa will never die.

Every attempt at shenanigans and intrigue aimed at him was a colossal failure. Because he has a way of rebounding from what you call vicissitudes, the guy is doughty, crunchy, and built of sterner stuff.

Corruption allegations are one of his opponents’ swan songs. Despite the huffing and puffing of a slew of accusing fingers, no one has been able to put irrefutable evidence against the Wazirin Adamawa. His political profile, on the other hand, is continually rising. When rumors circulated that he was barred from entering the US due to a criminal complaint, a spokeswoman for the US Department of Justice, Peter Carr, stated that they had searched public court records and found no cases filed against any defendant called Atiku Abubakar. He went on, and all of his previous interpreters were silent. Atiku is prancing around like a knight in shining armor, strutting around like the hero that he is.

He now stands head and shoulders above his political peers in the far north, owing to his politically correct restructuring views, which are in line with the slogans in the south and middle belt. And this could be the magic wand that upsets all the obstacles in his path to the presidency, which he has tried and failed to do three times: in 2006, 2011, and 2015. Will he be able to scale through this time if he repeats the performance? Given Obasanjo’s many hostilities, does he have the swag to break the jinx? Will he have a smooth transition into the PDP now that he has resigned from the APC?

Many individuals feel he possesses the political clout and momentum needed to find the needle in the haystack. Reason? When he switched to the APC on the eve of the 2015 elections, he had five governors in his kitty. You can guarantee that now that the chicken has gone home to roost in his political embryo, senators, governors, and faithful will follow suit. Yes, he may be labeled a serial contestant, but President Buhari was a serial contestant until he won the trophy on his fourth attempt. Atiku makes an appearance.

Yes! Adamawa state’s Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is rightfully referred to as the proverbial “cat with nine lives.” His image hasn’t been tarnished, but his long shadow and power still dominate the Nigerian political landscape.

Alhaji Abubakar of Adamawa state has made no secret of his intention to be Nigeria’s President. As the year 2023 approaches, the question on everyone’s lips is: Will Atiku Atikulate in 2023?
