American political risk
consultancy firm, Eurasia Group, has said that the presidential candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will enrich himself
and his cronies if he wins the presidential elections.
The group, however, said Atiku,
because of “his better health and keener intellect” compared to President
Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, “would create
a brief, superficial boost to the country’s image.”
The Eurasia Group said this in an
annual report it published on December 7 for 2019.
The report says Atiku is a
“gerontocrat who would focus on enriching himself and his cronies, avoiding the
difficult and politically unpopular tasks necessary for reform.”
Eurasia Group’s Top 10 risks
report put Nigeria as the 10th risk with a focus on the nation’s February 2019
elections.
Nigeria heads to the poll in the
next 36 days.
A former Vice President, Atiku
will be contending with about 59 candidates for the post of presidency.
However, Atiku’s main contender
will be President Buhari, who he left behind in APC to run for the presidency
under the PDP.
