Debunking the Falsehoods and Blackmail of Kwankwasiyya Groups Regarding Atiku’s Contributions to the Development of the North and Nigeria
By Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar
In an attempt to defend the political missteps of Rabiu Kwankwaso, who acted against the interests of Arewa and Nigeria by choosing to divide the opposition in 2027, pro-Kwankwasiyya groups are attempting to exploit the perceived naivety of the Gen Z generation. They have resorted to spreading falsehoods against Atiku Abubakar, questioning his contributions to the North.
Challenge accepted. Below are several key contributions of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar to the development of Arewa, both as a Vice President and as a private citizen.
Politics may involve sharp exchanges, but facts and history must not be overshadowed by campaign rhetoric. Atiku Abubakar has made tangible, verifiable contributions across the Northeast, Northwest, and North Central regions, impacts that continue to benefit our people long after his time in office.
Dear Rabiu Kwankwaso, no amount of blackmail can convince the people of Arewa to abandon their proud son, Atiku Abubakar, in favor of your political maneuvers. Allow me to respectfully set the record straight with concrete examples.
- Infrastructure Facilitation for the North
As Vice President (1999–2007), Atiku attracted and supported critical federal projects, particularly in his home region and throughout the North:
1. Yola Airport: Upgraded to international status.
2. Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Yola: Established to improve regional healthcare.
3. Power Infrastructure: Facilitated electricity transmission linking Gombe through Adamawa to Jalingo.
4. Road Networks: Facilitated numerous projects in Adamawa, including the Yola–Mubi road and the Ganye axis.
5. Northwest Development: During his administration, the Federal Government committed over ₦83 billion to projects across the Northwest zone.
6. Asphalt Road Construction: Secured the construction of roads from Yola to Mubi.
7. Connecting Rural Communities: Facilitated tarred roads from Jabbi-Lamba to Malabu and Belel.
8. Regional Connectivity: Secured road construction from Ganye to Toungo and Jamtari, as well as from Jada to Kojoli.
9. Bridge Construction: Built bridges along the Mayo-Belwa, Jada, and Ganye road axes.
10. Technical Education: Established the Federal Technical College, Watu, in Michika LGA.
11. Energy Logistics: Facilitated the laying of underground petroleum pipelines from Port Harcourt to the NNPC Depot in Yola.
12. Water Projects: Brought the CGC water project to his hometown, Jada.
13. Healthcare Access: Launched the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Jada and Yola.
14. Telecommunications: Atiku was instrumental in bringing GSM mobile communication to Arewa and Nigeria at large
- Security:
Civilian JTF: In 2014, during the peak of the Boko Haram crisis, Atiku spent nearly ₦1 billion of his personal funds to help establish the Civilian JTF. These individuals were familiar with the local terrain and Boko Haram tactics, assisting security forces in reclaiming territory from terrorists.
- Education and Human Capital Revolution
Atiku’s most transformative legacy lies in education:
1. Foundational Schooling: Built four primary schools and the Government Science Secondary School in Jada.
2. Scholarship Foundations: Established a foundation for the less privileged in Jada and sponsors indigent students from every LGA in Adamawa State to attend university for free annually.
3. American University of Nigeria (AUN): Founded in Yola in 2005, this world-class institution is a beacon of excellence in the Northeast, creating hundreds of jobs and producing globally competitive graduates.
4. Northern Education Programme (NEP): Financed this initiative at Arewa House, which held Northern governors accountable through education summits, leading to doubled enrollment rates across multiple states.
5. Humanitarian Scholarships: Provided...

When I said yesterday that the defection of HE Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso from the ADC to NDC is part of the original plan that was designed by the coalition of opposition parties, some political novices and children thought i was just bluffing.
But here is the plan, according to the master strategist of all times, HE Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai: Obi will pair with Kwankwaso, while Atiku pairs Ameachi. If the northerners do not want to vote for a Christian, they have Atiku, they can vote for him. If the obedients and southern Christians, on the other hand, do not want a northerner to take power from Tinubu, they have Peter Obi to vote for. Either ways, it's a win for the coalition. The ultimate goal is to take Tinubu out of power and bring the country back on track.
In addition to the above, and according to the political mathematics of our ever-brilliant Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, either the ticket of Peter Obi/Kwankwaso or Atiku/Ameachi will come 1st and 2nd in 2027 election, then bringing Tinubu to a 3rd position. That's why he said on an interview that there may be a tie between the ticket of 0bi/Kwankwaso and Atiku/Ameachi which may lead to a run-off.
The exit of Kwankwaso and Obi from the ADC, therefore, is not a political misstep or any accident. It is rather a strategy to get Tinubu out of power and this strategy will work in one way or the other.

As an ADC member, your focus for now should not be on Bola Tinubu and the APC. His economic policies and failures already speak for him; everyone is feeling the heat, and Nigerians have already decided not to vote for him in 2027.
Our focus should instead be on demarketing Bola Tinubu’s agents, the enemies of Nigeria’s progress who were sent to help him win by dividing the opposition.

@Montero1016 Mind you, Yoruba are too educated for anyone to give order from anywhere and say Vote Tinubu. We are not brought up that way. We are too politically educated to be compared to other regions. Don’t get it twisted

Any Yorubaman who goes against Asiwaju Tinubu or say he hasn't done well is a bastard. All Obas will give Royal order when its time that its Tinubu or Nothing. He has given us projects & elevated Yorubas" - The heir to the Obatala dynasty, HRM Oba Peter Ilufemiloye, The Olufon of Ifon.

Inna Lillahi wa inna IlaiHi Raajiun.
The passing of @AshakaSaleh came to me with rude shock, but as a Muslim who believes in Allah’s omnipotent existence, I completely seek Allah mercy and Grace towards his soul and Jannatul Firdaus as his final resting place.
Shehu Saleh Ashaka was one of the finest, quintessential and intellectual journalist of international reputation.
I mourn his loss, deeply.
