    Atiku Abubakar is no electable material. As a matter of fact, no awusa man is, not after alienating southerners with their inveterate 'born-to-rule' mindset, brutality, intolerance and barbaric blood-thirst. And even then, Atiku has given a clear insight into his dictatorial agenda. He is unable to veil his intended design to bypass legislative procedure and impose arbitrary "taxes" on resource-producing Southern States -his avenue to siphon all the money back to the Mullah-controlled central/federal government. Everybody knows that Atiku is not sincere about true federalism and only talks tongue-in-cheek. Greed and plunder mentality is so intuitive that the words "FEDERALISM" just as "SOVEREIGN" has become a dirty word; Asuwas can never be trusted to be sincere on issues bothering on restructuring Nigeria a true federation. Anybody who believes his tough talk can as well believe anything. His 70% tax is only a sneak preview of awusa disingenuous resource leaching; he will dig much deeper than that to impoverish the Southern states. The guy needs to tell us more about "making the place ungovernable", Boko Haram, the deadly barbaric conduct of his people, and kleptomania. The South will never trust their faith in the hands of awusa ever again. To do so is would be a suicidal, or a self-inflicted injurious servitude. "ARABA" is the answer. Atikun knows what I mean.
