We may not really know what he knows, but the astute politician has lost the ruling party’s presidential ticket for the 2011 General Elections. It was largely expected following the acrimonious manner the zoning issue was made the be all and end all of his campaign, and the unlikely harmony his camp sought from losers in the Northern Consensus Candidate brouhaha.
As an experienced gladiator and statesman, it is surprising that he is yet to congratulate President Jonathan on the landslide victory in the primary. General Babangida beat him to it!
If I were Alhaji Atiku, I will do so immediately; and genuinely mean it.

President Obasanjo: Speak Up Now!
There is too much talk about a hidden agenda on the April Elections. Hard to believe, but nothing is beyond our people!
If I were President Olusegun Obasanjo I will speak out TODAY: firmly, forthrightly and clearly on this matter - laying it to rest forever. I will honour my oath of office, and uphold the constitution.
As the Third Term saga proved, there is zero tolerance for any elongation of the current tenure of political office holders. Nigerians and the world expect a timely and smooth transition, through free and fair elections. It is his bounden duty so to do.
Dateline: 29 May 2007. Period.
