Pls advise Atiku to rest or let them fight for division, none of them will ever be good to control the large number of people in Nigeria with our African mentality.

If he is willing to sponsor you for the 2027 election then it’s a good deal but if he’s the one contesting he will fail again.
The same way he has been quiet since elections were over he should continue to be quiet, because in Nigeria the opposition party doesn’t know that they should be a watch dog to the incumbent administration.
When your leader is not leading well, then japa
