No matter what anybody tells him, he says he will never give up on Nigeria. Read and know why former Vice President Atiku Abubakar loves Nigeria and wants to occupy Aso Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“How can I be discouraged? You are just asking me to give up on Nigeria. I have no other place to go. I don’t. So, why should I give up on Nigeria. I cannot give up until I can no longer or do not have the capacity or the strength. There is no way I can give up on Nigeria.”

Those were his responses to a question put to him by a journalist during a press conference in his Asokoro, Abuja residence on September 16, 2014.

The journalist had sought to know why he won’t give up on his presidential bid after two unsuccessful shots in 2007 and 2011.

But by his candid answers, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar showed passion, faith, determination and optimism that, someday, the Nigerian nation would be great again.

Indeed, it is called the Giant of Africa, but this is one appellation that many people now struggle to defend. Even the present administration led by Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan won’t bat an eyelid in acknowledging that Nigeria is yet to get out of the woods and, for this reason, has asked Nigerians to renew his mandate in the 2015 general elections.

But this is where his critics get worried. To them, a government that has not tackled insecurity which has claimed thousands of lives, has not built social infrastructures and failed to fix a bleeding economy after four years deserves to be shown the way out. One word which has continued to resonate for a long time now suffices: “clueless”.
