Ofunaofu:


Peter Obi is not and can never be on the same level with Sowore in Nigerian politics.

Even Tinubu is not on Peter Obi's level in Nigeria's politics; Peter Obi is high up. 

It's not by grabbing, snatching, and running away with people's mandates and cornering the entire common wealth of Lagosians for over two decades.

I have said it before and will continue to say it again: the only way Tinubu can defeat Peter Obi is when INEC jettison the Nigerian constitution, jettison the electoral acts, jettison INEC guidelines and procedures, shut down the IREV portal, and conjure up numbers for him. 

Without the power of incumbency, senators, HOR members, state governors, state house of assembly members, LGA chairmen, the entire common wealth of Lagosians, the Lagos Treasury, dollar stuffing babariga thieves, thugs, hoodlums, and agberos, propaganda churning newspapers, TV shows and blogs, propaganda churning ethnic bigots like Bayo Onanuga and Sam Omatsaye, Tinubu is not worth more than 500 votes. 

Pls, say NO to drugs, especially mkpuru mirri and cannibalism. They are bad for your mental health.
Only someone on crack could have posted that trash. grin grin grin grin
Thanks in advance.

Certainly! Let's address the GidGiddi's concerns and present a compelling case for why Peter Obi should indeed consider running for the office of the President of Nigeria in 2027. 🇳🇬

**Why Peter Obi Should Run for President in 2027: A Counterargument**

1. Turning Rigged Elections into a Battle for Integrity:
- While it's true that Nigerian elections have faced challenges, Peter Obi's candidacy can be a turning point. Rather than avoiding the race, he can champion electoral integrity.
- Imagine Obi as the candidate who refuses to accept rigged results, who mobilizes citizens to demand transparency, and who fights for electoral reforms. His courage could inspire change.

2. Navigating Complexity with Nuance:
- Yes, Nigeria is multifaceted—ethnic, religious, and ideological fault lines abound. But isn't that precisely why we need a leader like Obi?
- His nuanced understanding of Nigeria's diversity positions him to bridge gaps. He can emphasize shared values, promote dialogue, and build consensus. Obi's presidency could be a unifying force.

3. The Engine Needs a Skilled Driver:
- The analogy of Nigeria as a car with a knocked engine is apt. But consider this: a skilled driver can influence the engine's repair.
- Peter Obi's leadership isn't just about occupying an office; it's about fixing the engine. His track record suggests he can address corruption, improve governance, and prioritize development.

4. Legacy Beyond Philanthropy:
- Philanthropy is commendable, but the presidency offers a broader canvas. Obi's impact as President would extend far beyond individual lives.
- Imagine policies that uplift millions, transform education, and create an environment where philanthropy thrives. His legacy could be transformative.

5. A Beacon of Hope and Inspiration:
- Nigeria yearns for leaders who embody hope. Obi's journey—from a village near yours to international success—is inspiring.
- His presidency would signal that merit, competence, and integrity matter. Young Nigerians would see a path to leadership beyond the usual suspects.

6. The Courage to Challenge the Status Quo:
- Obi's refusal to accept a "cursed office" could be reframed. What if he enters that office not as a victim but as a disruptor?
- Imagine a President Obi who challenges norms, dismantles entrenched systems, and insists on accountability. His courage could redefine the presidency.

7. The Engine Can Be Overhauled:
- Yes, no Nigerian President has been perfect. But isn't that an opportunity? Obi can be the catalyst for systemic change.
- His administration could prioritize electoral reforms, strengthen institutions, and empower citizens. The engine may be knocked, but it's not irreparable.

8. Leadership Amidst Storms:
- Every leader faces storms—propaganda, sabotage, and ideological battles. But isn't that the crucible of leadership?
- Obi's resilience, strategic thinking, and ability to navigate adversity could be assets. He won't achieve everything, but progress is possible.

9. The Call to Duty:
- Sometimes leaders emerge not because they seek power, but because duty calls. Obi's duty—to Nigeria, to its people—could propel him.
- Imagine a President who wakes up each day driven by service, not ego. His humility could be transformative.

10. The Hope of a Better Nigeria:
- Ultimately, Peter Obi's decision isn't just personal; it's about Nigeria's future. We need leaders who dare to dream.
- So, let's encourage him. Let's tell him that despite the odds, despite the cynicism, he can be the change Nigeria craves.

In summary, Peter Obi's candidacy isn't just about him—it's about us, about Nigeria. Let's envision a presidency that defies conventions, repairs the engine, and sets a new course. 🇳🇬✨

The big question is what does Nigeria really need? Do we need the same politician selling their Messiah rethoric or do we need a restructured nation that can allow for equity and competition. We need to decide exactly what we want.

You are a real politician!

People use emotions to analyze politics, and ignore the glaring reality facing them.
I was attacked here when I made same statement in May 2022.

If ACN, CPC, ANPP didn't come together, the PDP will never have been dislodged but some still hope or believe this Tinubu that knows how to use power will be removed, it's not just happening.

With so much lies and deceit. Many people couldn't do real background check about Obi because of the fraudulent packaging. Let's see what he will get in Lagos in 2027 now that people know the truth.

Conduct free and fair election the result will be worse for Tinubu.

The only way Obi can win is if partners with Atiku or a very strong politician in the North or if all the major opposition parties adopt him as consensus candidate similar to what happened in Senegal

And so far, the chances of that happening look very slim

Peter OBi should run, but he should first go back to PDP, and then use it as the center of an oppositon force that would remove APC.

That's how Buhari did it....after losing three times going it on his own. Three times.

Anyway I do not expect honesty from an obviously a dishonest person like you.

You guys don't really understand why Obi won in Lagos. It was a combination of factors but since you guys have taken it to mean that you are very strong in Lagos without recognizing those factors, I tell you it would never happen again. Yorubas would be more serious and more tribal in 2027.

You guys did not recognize those Yorubas christians that voted against Tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket. You think they don't like Tinubu abi? You will see different voting pattern in 2027.

So tell Obi to stop dreaming of winning Lagos. It would not happen again.

Obirodents have started over hyping their messiah obingo again, a serial party defector and a man who performed woefully in Anambra State for 8years. I remember when these guys were condemning obingo for his poor performance and incompetence in AnambraState, they turned him messiah overnight because of tribalism.
Let the elections be conducted again obingo will always be a loser.

He would get less votes in 2027 than he got in 2023. You can take that to the bank.

He lost his element of suprise. People have been able to beam a proper search light on him.. and like you also said, his Obidient mob are doing a very effective job in demarketing him.

With that the supporters will have a clear view of which is the better candidate between the two
