Technically, Peter Obi is no more operating with the people's mandate by the fact that he cannot deliver any senatorial seat to his party(even with the power of incumbency!). Therefore, he can rightly be called an usurper.Even an unpopular governor like Ohakim delivered some seats to his party. Can Peter Obil stand tall at the governor's forum and declare that he is operating with his people's mandate? If it is in advanced democracies of Europe and Asia. An early election will be called to renew the mandate of an elected official who lost overwhelmingly in an election. But Peter Obi will likely resist this move. |

mens dept: Explain more, |

freepeople: Clearly you are on to something. Its not a conclusion that a sitting executive must or will deliver/sweep seats for his party, but often, that's the case-especially if he's popular. It's unusual, even in the corrupt Naija political landscape for a governor to continue to operate in the minority in his state. |

mens dept: I consider the manner of the loss of APGA candidates to be an overwhelming rejection by Anambra people of Peter Obi's policy and style of governance. If he has any honour left in him, he and APGA will admit this. Every candidate that was closely associated with Peter Obi lost! |

freepeople: Yes and no. In fact APGA has the lead in about four Federal Const., but of course INEC has either not declared or has ruled inconclusive. Nevertheless, Obi clearly is not as influential when it comes to "Nigerian-style" politics. Dont forget that Ngige's role in rigging the 2003 election also helped in rigging out APGA and other opposition candidates from state and federal office. |
