There have been speculations that the former vice president's defection is due to his aspiration to seek the presidential ticket of Nigeria's main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2019 polls.

Atiku, who turns 71 today, November 25, is yet to debunk the rumours, even as his supporters have all moved to the PDP.

NACA says Atiku is un-electable because:

1. Naked ambition

2. Disloyalty in pursuit of naked ambition

3. Perception of corruption

4. How he made his wealth.as a civil servant (Customs officer)

5. Economic sabotage

6. No vision

7. No ideology

8. He is a political prostitute

Meanwhile, Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Festus Keyamo, has said the excuse Atiku gave in his widely circulated statement, was not honourable.

Keyamo who made the statement on social media via his verified Twitter page, said the former vice president should have simply admitted that he left the APC in search of another political party's presidential ticket ahead of the 2019 presidential elections.

His words: “The starting point of Atiku’s presidential bid would’ve been to simply admit that he left APC in search of another party ticket. Nigerians know that already.

“It would’ve been more honourable than giving some zigzag reasons to justify his zigzag movements across political parties.”
