Talk:Atiku Abubakar

message: I was trying to get more information on the Lagos airport and stumbled across a news article where Abubakar allegedly had been assaulted at the airport. This got me interested in Abubakar, so I checked out his Wikipedia article. It was clear that a lot of work had been put in to it, but also from looking at the article's history, this article's subject was controversial, since there were so many small reversions of different editors' work. Also, I saw it had a lot of "weasel words", usually a sure tip-off that the article needs less POV and more verifiable sources.
There are different little tags you can put after problematic sentences that you think don't meet Wikipedia standards. See the "For inline article placement" section of the page of templates used to mark disputed articles. The  tag is an example; placed at the end of a sentence, it produces a little message like this:
I'm not as knowledgeable on Nigeria as most of the other editors but would be happy to help if someone wants a neutral set of eyes to help edit this. You know Wikipedia needs much better coverage of Nigerian topics when Abubakar, one of the continent's most significant figures (like him or not), gets less coverage than some American colleges' football teams.

message: BBC News is reporting that "Nigeria's government has announced that President Olusegun Obasanjo is to replace Vice-President Atiku Abubakar." However there seems to be contention between Obasanjo and Abubakar as to whether the former actually has the powers to do this. Coes anyone know the procedures for this?

message: I came to notice that the last part of the heading 'Return to the PDP' deals with quite different events. It is explaining Atiku's contest for the 2023 presidential election.
I suggest taking that part to a new heading '2023 Presidential Election' which is already provided but contains only the result of the the election.
