Can Peter Obi Survive If Elected President Without Lp Having Legislative Reps? by Psalmistproject: 11:03am On Jun 28, 2022
The day Mr Peter Obi (as he prefers to be called) decamped to the Labor Party I was puzzled, wondering what gave him the audacious temerity to take his chances in the gallows.
Most politicians and political pundits have predicted he wasn't really going for the crown of presidency in the PDP as the party heads for primaries but needed to contest so to show respect for the southern region as they believed the south should be buckled with the grace of GCFR in 2023.
He only needed to do his ordinary best to canvas delegates support while hoping his principal (Atiku) will smooth things through for him.

THE WIKE MIX

Just like a trending dj mix Wike raised the game to all or nothing.
Wike dropped a jaw breaking handsoftening lotion (bribe money) budget for delegates and co-contestants that ran in 100s of Billions of naira.

Obi obviously can't contend with this so he needed to have a serious talk with his principal who also is scampering to hold his position as the Wike storm is blowing up strong holds and making threatening advances.

Unfortunately, Wike got the party where he wants it to be; ALL MAN TO HIMSELF. Atiku doesn't have any other option but to leave OBI to his misery.

If Obi had remained in the party today or participated in the primary wholly he would have lost both the respect of the people and the party.
He would have been a subject of ridicule to Wike for a decade as long as PDP is concerned.

OBI'S DECAMP TO LABOR PARTY.

I believe this will be one of the best decisions OBI has made in his political career.


Although I wondered the possibility of him winning the presidential election and not having elected house members and governors. This is also what other politicians referred to NO STRUCTURE.

Although Obi has responded politically to this problem but I believe he (Mr Peter Obi) knows exactly what he's doing.

Here's my thought;

An elected president has a lot of privileges that can only be enjoyed by party members.
With the few mouth to feed in Labour Party, elected politicians from other parties will quickly start switching carpets voluntarily to get a piece of the pie.

There are also a few group like those of them that were visiting Buhari for one favor or the other or to get a good bargain for their decamp. We will be seeing these Aso rock visitors frequently from both PDP and APC if OBI gets the seat.

Then even if they refuse to decamp, it will not in anyway affect OBI rather it will be a blessing to his administration and Nigeria.
Due to the diversity of the house members along party membership line (PDP, APC and others), OBI can easily ride between both parties to get his job done. In politics It is easier and cheaper to control a divided house.

Finally, due to the people's backing of his candidature, it will be a national suicide for the house to set up un scrupulous impeachment process against him. If it sails through the nation will burn. And the entire system will collapse.

Don't worry yourself about that, politicians got it all figured out. Once Peter Obi wins now, there will be a tsunami of mass defections across board from all parties. No carry politicians play o...
