Peter Obi Is The Man To Beat In 2023.. Here Is Why by David160(m): 4:45pm On Jul 04, 2022
I think Peter obi is the candidate to beat in 2023. This man has alot of advantages over other presidential aspirants, every major party should be paying very close attention.

Peter obi for starters is very popular with the youths, if you go through inec records Youths are the largest demographic of registered voters. Apc has benefited from voter apathy in 2015 and 2019.. 2023 will be different, if the race was just between Atiku and Tinubu I would say Tinubu has the advantage as alot of young people would sit the election out but Peter obi emergence has completely changed everything.

In 2019 72 million PVC were collected.. Only 28million people voted in the election.. There are 40M+ people with PVC that didn't vote in 2019 because they didn't like Atiku or Buhari. I predict this class of people have been waiting for a change candidate like Peter obi.

Apc could only manage 15million votes in 2015 even with all the momentum they had. 15million again in 2019. If obi can turn out even half of that class of "Nigerians who don't vote " obi will win before 12pm.

Apc is yet to witness the full voting strength of the south.. Go and look at 2011 presidential election results.. Anambra gave Jonathan 1M votes alone.. Rivers 1.4 million etc. Expect those numbers in 2023. High voters turn out doesn't favor the incumbent.. Those votes won't be for Tinubu or Atiku.

I am yet to even count the PDP votes obi will flip or the new registrants that would be voting for him.

Another advantage obi has is that he is the only Christian candidate, there are three Muslim candidates and one Christian running for president. Preach all you want religion will most definitely play a role in this election and it will be to Peter obi advantage.. He is a devoted Christian with a good track record.. Many Christians will gravitate towards him, the second Apc announces their Muslim Muslim ticket.. Religion will come into play.

Apc base in the north is divided between Atiku and Kwankwaso.. Obi can count on the SS and SE.

APC has failed woefully in government they have nothing to campaign with. Pdp presented a serial presidential contestant who is internationally recognized as corrupt. After kwankwaso recent statements on channels TV.. Many people see him as a Tribalistic bigot.

Obi is the candidate with the least baggage.. The only one with integrity and credibility. Atiku emergence is not welcome among many southern pdp leaders as they prefer the next president to come from the south.. They won't support Tinubu though no one wants to see a Muslim Muslim ticket on a national level.. Obi is obvious choice.. These southern leaders may not root for him openly.. But they'll do little to nothing to stop his emergence.

Another advantage is that obi dominates the conversation online... Call it whatever u want.. No serious presidential campaign can be run in 2023 without an effective online strategy.. It's possible to reach 10M people with a single Facebook post. The fact that people can't stop talking about obi on Twitter, Facebook or naira land already puts him at an advantage.

Peter obi to me is a very serious contender for the presidency and APC & PDP need to come up with a strategy to counter his influence. 2023 is not 2015 the Landscape is very different.. Political parties need to get with the times and come up with a strategy for obi.

My money is on Peter obi winning this election. If he can turn out enough voters to pass 15million I believe he will win.

The kind of momentum obi has right now.. I believe he will pass 15million.

Peter Obi will win the 2023 presidential election to the shock of many.... In 2015 presidential election, Incumbent Jonathan was almost assured that power of incumbency could work in his favor but before he could know what was happening , he has already been pressured by world powers to call president buhari and congratulate him.
