About four years ago I was at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja. Early afternoon, my partner wanted to get her hair done in the saloon and asked me to come with her. I didn’t want to go but I went only after I saw an opportunity therein to check out the local female talents. Once there, I was pretending I was reading a newspaper whilst actually checking out everything around me when Atiku busted into the saloon with a large security entourage. He had come for a pedicure!

 
About four years ago I was at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja. Early afternoon, my partner wanted to get her hair done in the saloon and asked me to come with her. I didn’t want to go but I went only after I saw an opportunity therein to check out the local female talents. Once there, I was pretending I was reading a newspaper whilst actually checking out everything around me when Atiku busted into the saloon with a large security entourage. He had come for a pedicure!
 
While I was quite circumspect in checking out the local talents, Atiku had no such restraint. In the end, I had to spend some of my time and energies blocking the man from pushing up on my own woman like an exercise. I tell you, it wasn’t easy. Anyway, the man has been in my bad books ever since.
 
I vaguely remember Atiku Abubakar’s name during the incidence of the infamous 53 suitcases belonging to one Emir that were allowed into the country after Idiagbon/Buhari had closed the border. I think Atiku had tried to prevent those suitcases from coming-in but he was overruled by the Army men. Several years later, thanks to Obasanjo and his politics of compensation, Atiku became Nigeria’s Vice President.
 
In December 2006 after Obasanjo put the clampers firmly around him, Atiku dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for another Party, the Action Congress (AC). Whilst in the AC, this man did absolutely nothing for that Party. He tried and used the AC as a platform to further his presidential dream but failed so he moved on. On 6 April 2010, he formally dumped the AC and returned to the PDP. On that occasion, he said that he had “decided to embrace the PDP's policy of reconciliation.” He added that “the values and ideals of the party (PDP) were deliberately trampled upon by anti-democratic forces…Despite being a founding member, I was treated shabbily and eventually forced out of the party. I had no choice therefore but to team up with others to found the AC.”   This is rich because those anti-democratic forces are still in the PDP actively practicing their trade. He ended by stating that, “Sadly, my efforts to help build a strong national opposition party have been frustrated by factionalisation, intrigues and divided loyalties to particular individuals.” So he returned to the PDP and to his vomit in a clumsy manner. Political prostitution on a real grand scale.
