The Obi wave of 2023 was real. But the evidence after 2023 suggests that it has seriously waned, especially when tested outside presidential emotion.

In 2023, Peter Obi turned Labour Party into a national protest vehicle. But since then, the party has struggled to convert that emotional wave into durable electoral structure.

The first major test came in the 2023 off-cycle governorship elections in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi. Labour Party failed to reproduce its presidential momentum. Then came Edo 2024, where LP’s Olumide Akpata finished third with **22,763 votes**, far behind APC’s **291,667** and PDP’s **247,274**.

In Ondo 2024, APC won with **366,781 votes**, PDP came second with **117,845**, while LP was not a serious factor in the contest.

The August 2025 bye-elections were even more revealing. APC swept the majority of seats, while APGA, PDP and NNPP picked some wins. Labour Party did not demonstrate anything close to a national wave.

Then came the biggest embarrassment: Anambra 2025. In Obi’s home state, Soludo won with **422,664 votes**, APC scored **99,445**, while LP’s George Moghalu managed only **10,576**. LP also lost Peter Obi’s own polling unit.

That is the story.

The Obi wave was powerful as protest politics.

But elections after 2023 show it has not matured into structure.

As our elders say: the flood that cannot return to the river becomes ordinary water.

Obidients had noise.

Soludo, APC, PDP and others showed structure.

And in politics, structure outlives sentiment.

Your response actually proves the article.

I did not mention Yoruba people anywhere. You are the one who dragged tribe into a discussion about political strategy. That is the usua obidientsl escape route: once the point becomes uncomfortable, inject ethnicity, throw insults, and[b] hope noise can replace argument[/b].

The point was simple: APC/Tinubu and Atiku’s camp are not fighting like Obidients on social media because they know elections are won more by structure, governors, local alliances, and polling strength than by endless online hysteria. That is not tribal; that is political reality. APC party’s strength still rests heavily on incumbency and state structure. Current public tallies show APC governors dominating the map, with around 31 states under APC governors in 2026, not some tiny ethnic corner.

As for your “Maduro” fantasy, that is just another pipe dream from people who seem to prefer Tinubu out of office by any means except the ballot.
But politics is not won by emotional curses. It is won by votes, structures, and lawful process.
And the irony is that while some of you are busy daydreaming about regime-collapse scripts, the U.S. and Nigeria have actually deepened security cooperation, with Reuters reporting U.S. surveillance support and AP reporting U.S. troops being sent to train Nigerian forces. That is partnership, not isolation.

So calm down. Tribal fumes are not rebuttal. “Maduro” talk is not strategy. And Peter Obi’s people should worry less about fantasy overthrow plots and more about the hard truth they keep running from: they are scared of real elections because hashtags are easier to command than polling units.

One of the clearest signs of political maturity is knowing where the real battle lies. That is why APC/Tinubu and the Atiku wing of ADC have not thrown themselves into the same endless social-media warfare that has become the trademark of many Obidients.

The reason is simple: serious political operators know elections are not won mainly on timelines, but on structures, governors, local leaders, polling agents, party cohesion, and grassroots reach.

The same logic applies to Atiku’s camp. Whatever one thinks of him, Atiku’s politics has always been rooted more in elite networks, regional bargaining, governors, and party machinery than in social-media theatre. Even the recent opposition turbulence reported by Reuters and AP shows that the real question for anti-Tinubu politics is not who trends more online, but who can hold a coalition together in the real world.

That is the difference.

APC and Atiku’s camp may criticize each other, but they are not foolish enough to mistake social media for the battlefield itself. They know the real war is fought in state houses, party offices, ward meetings, stakeholder rooms, local alliances, and polling-unit organization.

CyynthiaKiss:
The massacre of Christians going on under Tinubu’s Islamic regime can is overwhelming..

CharlesCNG:
Yes, it was a deflection. Deflection is when somebody avoids the actual issue on the table and drags the discussion into another lane so that the real point does not get examined. That is exactly what you did. The issue was not “law of honour” in the abstract, and the purpose of the write-up was not to mock Peter Obi for saying “Yes Daddy.”
To be fair, Peter Obi often does enough damage to himself each time he opens his mouth on sensitive matters without anyone needing to manufacture mockery for him.

In democracy, nobody needs to “reach Peter Obi’s level” before questioning him. A man seeking to lead over 200 million people must be open to scrutiny from ordinary citizens, not protected by choir members carrying incense.
