Comedian Igodye gets really candid with Atiku over presidential ambition

December 4,2017

By Rita Chioma,
Based on Atiku Abubakar’s recent announcement of his intentions to run in  the 2019 presidential elections, outspoken comedian, Francis Agodo, better known as Igodye has penned a candid note to the former Vice President.
He wrote this on his Instagram page a while ago, giving out reasons why Nigerian youths won’t be in support of Atiku’s political ambition.
“Don’t use sentimental empathy on the youths to express your political ambitions.
Sir, you are one of those that have immensely benefited from Nigeria since your birth in 1946.
Having worked for 20years with the Nigeria Customs where you retired at the age of 43 in 1989 as Deputy Director, your bucket list sure looks good because you were obviously employed at youth, aged 23.
In 1999 you became governor of Adamawa and ultimately the Vice President, all of these you achieved at 53. What did you do during your time in that exalted position?  When will the youths like in your time get a chance? I’m motivated to speak, based on your statement : A party that does not take the youths into account is a dying party.The future belong to young people. Please which of the future?
Remarkably, between 1999 and  2007 that you were the Vice president of Nigeria, it is recorded that tertiary institutions  witnessed several strikes that wasted seventeen months ,three weeks and three days. Within this period, what did you do?
If social support were given to  youths then, their children will be between 18 and 20years during the 2019 elections,obviously they would have willingly voted for you or anyone that you endorse in 2019. This is the essence of making sacrifices for the future generation.
You cannot be credited to have been a philanthropic to the youths.
The recent revocation of the NPA contract with Intel, your company is the major issue. “
He continued:  “As a company either, the people in the region you operated cannot accredit Intel to have provided credible  support for the youths or built skills acquisition  centers to  curb  unproductivity as part of it’s corporate social responsibility , which has resulted to many youths embarking on the sub- sahara deserts route trekking to Europe,which has claimed many lives.
Your excellency sir,  Atiku Abubakar, please don’t use sentimental empathy on the youths to express your political ambitions,because by 2019 the youths are preparing to substantiate the real economical,political and progressive change.
I kindly recommend that you should advocate for process that will afford us
the opportunity of a youthful leadership in the 2019 election.
Thanks.
Amb Francis.”
