Reasons Obi Lost The 2023 Presidential Election by Sormeh: 7:05pm On Mar 02, 2023
The Seat of Nigeria's presidency is one of the most keenly contested positions in the world. Ambition for such an office requires a lot -- long time planning, strategic alignment and realignment, calculations, north-south consideration and leanings, etc all of which could require more than 10 years.

Peter Obi started his really active presidential scheming six months before the elections which I believe is too hasty and too late. His candidacy is more like a "trend" which is rather an "unplanned" sudden phenomenon that preys on emotions of the gullible. It primarily seeks to exploit the seeming ethno-religious polarity being experienced across the land.

Similarly, rather than build an organic fan base with "real" purpose and substance, Obi-Datti movement maliciously tries to ride on the crest of the aftermath of the fallout of "EndSARS".

As a "sensationalised trend" that Peter Obi's candidacy has been, "Obidient" movement effectively drove the campaign harping on the power of visual graphics and all social media tools possible to hoax and promote his candidature among the young people who do not often think for themselves but are easily driven by any social media trend for that matter. For anyone who tried to reason at all, Obidients never disappointed in using the other tools including coercion, cyber-bullying, curses, intimidation, death-wishes, etc. (This particular reason is why I backed off. If something is really good, you don't have to force it down my throat).

Peter Obi lost because he didn't do his due diligence. He only wanted to get to power riding on the sentiments of ethnicity, religion, and youths' anger with the government.

Peter Obi is a "trend". It is a mere momentary sensation; a mirage. It is unreal. It fizzled out the way other social media trends do.

Muslim Muslim ticket was the only reason why Obi became relevant.

Nothing else. grin

Seized the opportunity to promote his Igbo agenda clearly for all to see.

Not all christians were gullible to buy that shit grin

I am not threatened by Muslim Muslim ticket. Rather, we should have our two eyes open to the IPOB agenda.

Just look at the way Igbos are toxic about this.

Igbos oh! Not Nigerian christians. But just the IGBOs.

cool



Moreover Obi had no substance.. he wasn't clever or witty and he was quite dishonest trying to cajole gullibles


Tinubu went to Abeokuta and spoke to delegates honestly... I assisted Buhari, I nominated Osinbajo, fought for Democracy for 40 years of my life, all I ask for is it's my turn... It's the turn of Yoruba

You can't fool anyone in national politics, it's better you keep shut than lie

Peter obi started his campaign when he was ATiku vise he kept gracing interviews and kept talking about Nigeria issues from every corner now with social media that has almost everyone on it which buhari used to win in 2015 that APC refuse to use was his advantage 😂 for your information peter obi won this particular election.

Obi lost the election because he underestimated the level of tasks required for him to win a presidential election

There was obi the candidate of the labour party and there was the obidients "trending" on social media

These two were totally different forces and did not reflect what obi needed to win the election.

It was a repeat of the same scenario of maduka in the Anambra gubernatorial election.maduja name was all over the place but election day came and soludo won

Obi just did not have the required voters base to win
Heck
His votes was more like dividing the votes from the pdp which means it will be less than the votes of the APC

There were a pocket of irregularities here and there, no doubt but note that no election is perfect anywhere under the sun. Putting this election side-by-side with previous elections in this country, you'll agree it's one of the most credible.

I chose to be modest and careful with the words that I used. I know the implications of careless use of any medium of mass media. Remember I said it is obvious, it's all clear and discernible for all to see and it is rather unfortunate.

Constitutionally, the winner has been declared. Only the court can decide otherwise not with some unsubstantiated claims and delusion.

Even if they conduct the elections in heaven, Obi will still lose. Conduct the election 1million times, Obi will lose 1milliion times. Just like Atiku mentioned, you need votes from everywhere to win an election.
