[*Can you imagine!*

*Owe Yoruba:*
*Eniti o nwa eni je baba e lowo, aa pade eni iya je lowo (A person who goes out looking for people who are owing his father, will come across those his mother is owing)*

This is too interesting, 9ja too much

*Peter Obi is not the candidate of LP :*

According to Section 77 (2&3) of the electoral act 2022, Peter Obi is not a member of Labour party. As a result,he is not qualified to contest the February 25,2023 presidential election. Section 77 (2) says every political party must have/maintain a register of its member in soft and hard copy. 77(3) says each party SHALL MAKE THAT REGISTER AVAILABLE TO INEC NOT LATER THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE FIXED FOR PRIMARIES, CONGRESSES OR CONVENTION. PDP screened all presidential candidates on April 29th,2022. Peter Obi participated in that screening and was cleared. Obi even displayed his provisional clearance on social media. He resigned from PDP on Thursday May 26th,2022 to join Labour party on April 27th,2022. Labour party conducted her presidential primary on May 30th, 2022 and it produced Obi after Prof. Pat Utomi voluntary withdrawal for Obi.
According to the section 77(3), Labour party ought to have submitted the party register to INEC 30 days before the presidential primary. By calculation, 30 days to May,30th,2022 was April 30,2022. As at April 30th,2022 when labour party had submitted the party register to INEC, Peter Obi was a member of PDP. So, Obi name was not part of those in the party comprehensive register that was submitted to INEC. The question is, can a candidate who is not a valid member of a political party contest for presidential election? Can a political party nominate non member to participate in presidential election? The tribunal will be of fireworks and shall be interesting in days to come.

That is one.Obi does not even have 25% in 24 states as constitutionally required.
A court case already lost even before it begins.

Atiku too failed to get the 25 per cent as required by the constitution, as he got the 25 per cent spread in 21 states while Mr Obi scored a minimum of 25 per cent in 17 states.
Tinubu met the requirement as he got the threshold in 30 states.

Lawan and akpabio case is different from this.

Lawan and akpabio won cos the party APC went to court and claimed those 2 were their candidates.

This Obi issue is also being tested today in the case between ita enang vs Akan udofia all of APC in akwaibom.

This is total demonstration of stupidity, I have reiterated this that Obi tsunami had not Granger caused the state's existing political structure. The match 11 polls results would make ardent supporters of Obi to know that they are riding an ass not an horse.

The last presidential election was based on Religion and ethnicity that favoured obi (LP).

For the governorship election LABOUR PARTY will find it hard to get a state and they will have a better understanding that Nigeria has only APC and PDP. Those that made Labour Party shine in the presidential election, they will divide their vote between APC and PDP since their anointed presidential candidate is not on ballot paper.

This results(march 11) will serve as litmus test that the labour party had not been rigged.

Atiku said he chickened out of PDP when he saw those on queue and their dollar standing.. Obi bought his way to become LP party Presidential flag bearer thinking the idiots that gathered at Lekki in Lagos would make him win.

Where is his LP memebership card? which unit of LP in Anambra nominated him?

Wuru wuru people.

A loser is a loser
How you Igbo turn a loser to a winner is your problem. Obi contested the presidency n lost in far away 3rd place. He should try again next election year.

No , obi is a hero of Nigerian democracy even those who hate him can testify to that , he just made history in Nigeria and it's on record , an unknown structureless party winning election in 12 states including Abuja and Lagos with all the attacks , harassment, rigging by the opposition party , well APC will have to defend their wining in court
