His first term as VP, he was mainly characterized by his role as Chairman of the National Economic Council and head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside @elrufai
How far on that?

His 2nd term as VP was marked by a stormy relationship with OBJ. He was involved in a bitter public battle with his boss, Obasanjo, ostensibly arising from the latter's bid to amend certain provisions of the constitution to take another shot at the presidency (Third Term saga)
The controversy generated by the failed constitutional amendment momentarily caused a rift. The National Assembly eventually vetoed the amendments allowing Obasanjo to run for another term.
But was this fight out of love for Nigeria or his ambition to become the president?

In 2006, Abubakar fell out with his boss Olusegun Obasanjo and left from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in preparation for the 2007 elections.
Let think about that? Why did he leave, Love for country or Personal Ambitious?

Obasanjo in his book entitled "My Watch" says
"The Money Atiku Abubakar Stole when He was My Vice is Enough to Feed 300 Million People for 400 Years"
(My watch page 31).

He was one of the founding Members of @OfficialAPCNg and the strongest support for @MBuhari in 2014. He was part of the team that brought us to where we are today.

The Big Question now is has @atiku managed the Nigeria resources committed to his hands well?
Is he worthy to be a President that can lead us Out this mess or would only enrich himself?

In 2017, at a summit he vowed to enrich his friends if elected. He said
“I am not going to enrich members of my family but my friends.
“Are my friends not entitled to be enriched? As long as there is no element of corruption there,” the former vice president said. (Guardian)
