Adesegun Sode Jnr said he is a Yoruba Man born original and never a bastard but his political staunch loyalty remains with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of Nigeria and the Presidential flag bearer of the people’s Democratic Party Party, PDP.
Here him says this:
“I am Yoruba man, I am Supporting Atiku and I am not a Bastard
“One of the most important qualities that any leader can have is the ability and goodwill to be fiercely loyal and supportive to his loyalists.
“The patience to understand them, appreciate their inadequacies and push them towards greatness are also some of the most important attributes a great leader should possess.
“A leader must give his subordinates room to grow, even if in their growth they have to find a new path different from his own.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar GCON The Waziri of Adamawa has all of these in abundance, and this is precisely the reason why I and many other people are prepared to follow him to any war or any length without regrets.
” For me, I am with Atiku through and through, against any obstacle and all odds. He is a leader who shows the way, and who supports all his followers to the best of his abilities, irrespective of their background or their tribe, with all he has, towards helping them in getting their ways in life. Atiku Abubakar believes in people, he believes in humanity and the entire Nigeria is his constituency.
“His mind and nature is so fine and pure that even his political enemies know these aspects about him.
“Yes some do abuse it. But that is the nature of man. Can you imagine Peter Obi or Garba Shehu being a protege of a particular candidate? Sam Omatseye would be writing about them everyday. The sponsored press would have tagged them as betrayers and evil men simply because they chose to grow in life.
“Atiku discovered Soludo, El Rufai and Okonjo Iweala,.. but no where will you see him refer to them as his boys or creation. They are full and complete Human Beings who were already professionals in their respective fields before Waziri discovered them. He only gave them a platform to use their talent for Nigeria and Nigeria was better for it.
“Atiku forgives even before people ask for it. He is the truest democrat Nigeria has ever seen.
An astute advocate of “Politics of no Bitterness” and a veritable promoter of “live and let live” policy.
“Atiku is the Only National Leader in the history of Nigeria whose elections, victory or loss has never led to violence. One of his memorable quotes says, ” you cannot be a true Democrat, if you don’t know how to lose elections.”
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, I wish you all the best in this campaign period and I pray that this season will be the time we have been waiting for. I know someday, I hope it’s now, Nigerians would all come to appreciate his good naturedness. ”
