So this morning, mainstream news reported that Atiku Abubakar, former Nigerian Vice President, has returned to PDP. Nigerians on twitter went berserk. See reactions below:
How can @atiku re-decamp to PDP be a news
Is it not normal for molue to leave Oshodi to Agege and return to Oshodi?— #ChangeHasCome (@ChangeHasComee) November 24, 2017
Atiku to PDP, Obanikoro to APC. But your favourite analysts are still swearing by political parties.
Abeg, don't let anyone deceive you with 'choose a side' rhetoric in 2019. The only real demarcation is between ordinary Nigerians and the political class.

Atiku Abubakar’s three-year loan deal to APC with an option of permanent transfer has officially come to an end, after PDP activated the buy-back clause in his contract.

It's going to be a very busy transfer window.
Obanikoro has moved for a record breaking fee
Atiku is returning to his boyhood club. https://t.co/g6M4ig2cPZ— Ebube D Statesman (@akaebube) November 24, 2017

I congratulate @Atiku for leaving the APC. It took courage especially as he has wide business investments that are already targets and could be further targeted. I, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, now appeal to Waziri Adamawa, to return to the house he helped build, the PDP.

Congrats to @atiku for dumping the plague called APC and coming back home to the PDP family.
It took courage to take that bold step and I commend him for it.

In everything @atiku wrote in that party resignation letter it's the "God" part that struck me the most.
How these people easily mention God and at the same time rape His people is what intrigues me.And this same God will soon tell him to go back to PDP

On the same day that @Atiku resigned from the APC, President Buhari sets up a committee to increase the minimum wage. Coincidence or signs that the President is jittery over his impending 2019 defeat and wants to bribe Nigerians with a salary increase?

Now that Atiku has left APC, let Buhari order EFCC to arrest him. Only APC guys are clean and innocent, Atiku is no longer a saint.
Going after his companies alone won’t be enough.

The man irresponsibly conspired to put Buhari in power. However if the choice is between Atiku and Buhari for 2019, I'll choose Atiku. https://t.co/3p5avpmIHv

Sule Lamido now needs to step up his game. No one knows his views on economics and restructuring.
He'll give Buhari a good fight up North. But down South, Atiku seems to be more popular.
Either way, 2019 politics season has started. Governance is over. Buhari's 1st term is over.— Gege (@nigeriasbest) November 24, 2017
@atiku leaving @APCNigeria to contest on the platform of @OfficialPDPNig is a dead on arrival strategy. @atiku is unstable, lacks discipline and can't be Nigeria president. @Ayourb tell the world.

Atiku should have remained in the PDP and supported GEJ for a Second term. Maybe 2019 woulda been easier for him as PDP would have had the power of incumbency. Loyalty has its benefits

2019 will be HOT! We are watching closely.
