Does Peter Obi Really Have Any Political Value In The Current Political Space? by OritoJasi: 9:27pm On Jan 18, 2021
Peter Obi seems to be the top and preferred igbo contender for the Presidency (atleast that is what we are led to believe on Nairaland and much of other social media platforms), yet we aren't hearing any serious endorsements of him anywhere in or outside igboland.

We are currently witnessing how the likes OUK and Umahi keep getting endorsements within their home states and political base. Not to mention an unknown Anambra politician, one Professor Umead, who also reportedly received massive endorsement to run for the presidency from 2000 community leaders in his state.

All this suggest that in spite of the social media hype, Peter Obi might actually be a feather weight politician even in his own home state (though this could be due to his political emasculation by his hand-picked successor, Governor Obiano).

Or, could it be that his supporters are just not confident enough of his general acceptability? Either that or they are expecting and hoping he will once again be picked as VP candidate to Atiku in 2023, and are therefore afraid of 'rocking the boat' by even giving him common endorsement, so as not to dash his chances of emerging as Atiku's VP once again.

Peter Obi supporters, wetin dey happen na Even if na fake endorsement, make una dash am small na.

Op, fact is that Peter Obi is only popular on social media. Unfortunately for him social media votes don't count during elections. Even in his Anambra, during the last election that reelected Obiano the APC candidate (Tony Nwoye) got more votes than Obi's handpicked candidate (Obaze Oseloka). That shows he lacks grassroots support at home.

I didn't read the epistle by the OP. But one thing I know is that Peter Obi is the only ex-governor without corruption garb hanging on his shoulder.

Akuko. You people can lie. Obiano, the current governor, has accused him of diverting state funds into his family businesses. Concerned Anambra citizens have also petitioned EFCC to investigate his money laundering activities.

lol. continue deceiving urself!! shebi if they offer him the presidency he won't grab it with both hands!! undecided

the truth is, with the current trends and permutations, Obi has been relegated to a paper weight politician... he has no choice but to via for the VP slot, that's his only option

I highly doubt if Atiku will even choose him again as VP

You people can be so hypocritical. The same una dey always abuse Osinbajo as a 'spare tire' to Buhari without any powers, emphasing that only the president has real powers. Yet it is that same 'useless' position you are settling for with Obi. Smh. Lemme guess. You all are hoping Atiku would die in office so your Obi can assume his position via the backdoor right? Abi no be wetin una dey accuse Osinbajo of be dat. Ndigbo whyyyyyyy una be hypocrites?

They are both ex-governors. But one is a benevolent thief while the other is the Grand patron of SMAN
