Obidients, The Time To Start Is Now! by Willgates(m): 1:04pm On Feb 26, 2023
OBIDIENTS, THE TIME TO START AGAIN IS NOW!

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved-Matthew 9:17

Before I proceed, congratulations to “Obidients” you had a good run. No matter the outcome of this election, pat yourselves on the back. You have gone just as far as you could, but let it not end here. In sooth, now is the right time to begin!

Mathew 9:7 is idiomatic and means to present or offer an existing concept or institution as though it were a new one. This Bible verse is a perfect analogy of the person, Mr. Peter Obi and the ideology behind the “Obidiency movement.”

Mr. Peter Obi, after his two terms as governor of Anambra state had no notable achievement except claims of leaving behind N75b in the state coffers for his successor. He dumped The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), a party that gave him the platform to become governor to join the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) after a controversial and subpar eight years reign. Mr. Obi will later become the vice presidential candidate of his new party, sharing the presidential ticket in 2019 with Mr. Atiku Abubakar-a name synonymous with corruption in the heart of every Nigerian. In his usual manner of jumping ships in the face of turbulence, he left the PDP in 2022 to join the Labour party in a last minute move to secure a presidential ticket by any means possible. Mr. Obi was given the LP presidential ticket just few days after joining the party. Raising concerns that his emergence was shrouded in corruption, with millions paid as kickbacks to the LP executives. Mr. Obi has so many moral baggage. From choosing to deputize a renowned corruption guru, his divisive nature-an uncanny ability to cause division and use it to his advantage. He represents the old order- an old bottle!

Phew! But talk about the ideology, the flames the Obidiency movement has ignited in the hearts of many Nigerians, a new wine that triggered the awakening in political consciousness of hitherto “fencists”- seismic!

The eminent defeat of Mr. Obi at the polls will put an end to his political relevance. But the Obidiency ideology must not be allowed to perish with him. In fact, the right time to start is now but in a “fresh new bottle!”

Long before now, I have held the believe that the Obidiency movement was not really about Mr. Peter Obi but an eruption of a bottled up anger and disdain most Nigerians had for the state of affairs of the country. Mr. Obi was merely a vessel, a bottle used to make a bold statement. The ideology lacked mass appeal basically due to the medium in which it was presented. The Muslim population felt threatened by Mr. Obi’s divisive track records and ethno-religious themed presidential campaigns. Most Nigerians felt insulted to be presented a mediocre as their Messiah. The “Obidients” must therefore find a new bottle an incorruptible person, a man or woman, with proven track records, who has not been a part of this rot to give credibility to the movement. And of course, a new slogan!

If the result is to be achieved in the next 4-8 years, the time to start is now!

Will Mic.

Na now you know that only Tinubu is the organic presidential candidate among the top 4 candidates?

Others are just political prostitutes and desperate ticket hunters, who never had the patience or dignity to put in the Labour for the rewards they wanted to obtain.

Na now you know the real meaning of Emilokan.
