"Atiku Abubakar seems to be the favorite among Muslims in the Northeast (except in Borno and Yobe) with a potential to expand his reach to other parts of the Muslim North. His problem is that because he has always been liberal, cosmopolitan, and not delimited by religion, he doesn’t excite northern Muslims who define their identities in religious terms.

It’s precisely why he used to be more popular in the South (and in the Christian North) than in the Muslim North. But Peter Obi has stolen his thunder in his erstwhile electoral base, and this was the basis of a joke I saw on social media that says Atiku has in the bag all the votes he needs to be president in 2023—except that Obi is holding the bag.

Obi appears to have a lock on the votes in the Southeast, the South-South, and in such predominantly Christians states as Benue, Plateau, and even Taraba. Christians in southern Kaduna and Southern Kebbi seem more favorably disposed to him than they are to any other candidate. The major challenge of his popularity in the Southeast is that it may not translate to high voter turnout in light of the continuing violence and threats of violence by IPOB.

Muslims in the North-central and the Northwest appear to be the only noncommittal, persuadable voting bloc because they have no sentimental investment in any of the three major presidential candidates. They can swing in any direction.

Because Obi is making a mark, however imperceptible, in these regions where he was previously unknown, we should recognize that he is no longer the underdog that he once was. In order to avoid a repeat of Buhari, critical citizens should ask Obi hard, soul-searching questions because he could be president.

For example, why did he allow the Anambra State University branch of ASUU to go on strike for more than six months and even going so far as to sack the school’s vice chancellor “because of his alleged romance with the striking workers of the university,” according to the Daily Sun of January 19, 2011. How is he different from Buhari in this regard?

Why did he allow doctors in Anambra State to go on strike for 13 months, which led to many needless deaths? The doctors called off their strike without Obi meeting their demands. And he implemented the no-work-no-pay rule when Anambra civil servants went on strike to demand to be paid minimum wage.

While he was governor of Anambra, he played typical Nigerian politics of divide and rule. He played Catholics against Anglicans and even stigmatized political opponents as “Yoruba” people, according to Professor Okey Ndibe who wrote extensively on him.

“It is similarly appalling that a governor who reportedly has ambitions for higher political office could not restrain himself from disparaging Mr. Ngige as a Yoruba candidate,” Ndibe wrote in his April 18, 2011, column titled “Peter Obi, Akunyili and Political Folly.” “Even if we accepted the silly argument that the ACN was a Yoruba party – so what? Is the governor allergic to forging political alliances with the Yoruba? Is he not aware that such appeals to base, ethnic sentiments would return to haunt him if he ever seeks to be a political player at the national level?”

That was prophetic. This doesn’t make Obi any worse than his opponents. But because he could be president, we should interrogate him so we won’t be blindsided".

Una sure say this Kperogi no dey visit this thread...We have said everything he wrote here...

Exactly. Hope we're asking these hard questions to other candidates, and they're making themselves available to be asked these hard questions?

Lmao.. You are telling me this person had no other choice than to respond and tow the same line with these other tribalists.. To the point it became fun for him... grin grin

And he's still doing it in a smooth way ..

Naso grin

@ the bolded, a leopard can never change it's spot.
Nothing gives him joy like having an opportunity to put down the Igbo tribe.

I keep telling people that seeing him try to link ipob to obi is the exact same playbook of his, just like he staunchly linked Jonathan to Boko Haram.
It's that rabid igbophobia in him.

To him, Jonathan's worst crime against humanity was having "ibo blood", bearing the name "Ebele". Not go talk of Peter Obi, a full blooded Igbo man.

Peter Obi winning will be dayo's worst nightmare. It will be a dagger to his heart. He will off himself when that happens and I can't wait to see it.

This is the highlight of that article.
This is for all those making useless permutations here and there.
The electorate is still being shaped. Some people are predicting a sort of voting apathy in the north and an upsurge of enthusiasm in the south.
But again, all baseless permutations.

why off himself when we can just spend the next four years re-posting and rehashing all the bullshit you posted about messiah obi and watch you descend to an even lower level of madness as you struggle to defend peter obi's incompetence?

who knows what gems we will get from a PO admin ?

maybe like gej did, obi will host UGM leaders in aso rock
maybe obi will tell us more about how Christians have taken nigeria back
maybe we will see whatsapp conversations featured on media chats
maybe there will be a hero beer [Glory to Biafra!] distillery in every state
maybe we will start doing direct cash purchases of vehicles and other assets for the FG .


the possibilities are endless.

what we do know is Peter obi is the least competent of this trio of politicians from the OBJ years. he is very good at meaningless photo ops that will electrify his base [ the nigerian MAGAs] but low on actual substance and delivery of solutions.

no one needs to get any heart attack when we can spend the next four years watching the neophytes who fell for POs poorly dressed BS lose their virginity

the same happened with GEJ, after all. it can only be so long before your incompetence overtakes your shoeless story

That’s how past governors thought too.

Derecognizing him is not even my problem. Its how he tries to rationalise it when the motive is glaring. Politicians are a shameless lot.

If you have 13 minutes to to spare you can watch this video


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSXRzN_rWk8

PDP just released their campaign timetable which includes a set date for Rivers State.

Apparently, he was never going to allow PDP use the stadium for campaign. He probably also got Intel they are planning to use government primary/secondary school so he's one step ahead. Wike has now banned campaign in public schools unless you get approval from the state government. cheesy

As someone mentioned elsewhere, PDP will have to do their Rivers presidential campaign in Bayelsa cheesy

I so like this election season with its unending drama cheesy

wike already has a future job as govt house picture installer

PERSONALLY - he personally installed omehia's picture , and he personally removed same picture.
