Please go back and read my post, this time slowly. I never said Tinubu stood no chance if he wasn't in APC
&you deliberately evaded all my other points. Thought you were out for some objective argument, devoid of sentiments.

That is why IIGB0S would never smell the presidency... They are not politically intelligent.

1) By leaving PDP, LAMBA destroyed the chances of PDP due to his myopic thinking and greed
2) Of what use are the OBIDIENTS and their nzogbou nzougbu mentality. LAMBA and his OBIDIENTS practically destroyed the chances of an IIGB0 man becoming president in the near future. What exactly is good about OBIDIENTS insulting everyone. Only a very DUMB person will expect people to vote for them by insulting them.
3) Tinubu is a smart and seasoned politician who knew it would be foolish to leave a strong political party and go to an unknown party.
4) You kept on saying if this.. if that.. if he had.. If he could... Politics is not based on ifs
First of all, it was not only Igbos that voted for Obi. So many others who were fed up with PDAPC also did.

I also don't agree Obi leaving, ruined PDP chances. Don't forget Obi was once Atiku's running mate & still lost.
After Buhari's calamitous 8yrs, there were strong sentiments for power to shift to the South. Even the southern governors supported this.
So with Atiku a Northerner, emerging as Flagbearer and Obi as running mate, there would have been no Obidient Movement. & voters turnout would have been low. & they would not have received the votes of most southerners like myself who wanted power shift to the South.

I believe PDP would probably have won if they had fielded Obi or a Southerner.
Also if Atiku had resolved PDP internal crisis especially with Wike , he would have stood a good chance.

You said Tinubu was smart enough to realise he stood no chance leaving APC for an unknown party. That answered my question of if Tinubu would have made an impact outside APC.
Even before the election, his numerous blunders, Health challenge, evading debate & media didn't portray qualities of a good president.
Infact Tinubu rode on the strong APC structure & as ruling party to grab power. The huge money politics in the Primaries was a big advantage for him, else even Osinbajo, if he had emerged would most likely have won.

Anyway he has won so let's see how he fares. Although so far his regime has only succeeded in increasing hardship for the average Nigerian.

Shalom.

If you investigate all the top officials that served under Buhari, you will find skeleton in their cupboards.
If Buhari claims ignorance = he is an incompetent fool.
If he knows = he is an accomplice & criminal.

What impact did LAMBA make in LP?

LAMBA was very foolish leaving PDP. I wonder why IPOB/OBIDIENTS couldn't see that

Go to the election results and add LAMBA's votes to that of PDP and compare to what APC got.

LAMBA handed the election to APC when he left PDP.
If Obi had remained in PDP, there wouldn't have been anything like Obidients. Voter's turnout would have been low.

But my question is, if Tinubu had left APC & joined an unknown party, do you think he would have made much impact & been a strong contender in the election?

TRIBALISM and religious bigotry is the only reason that can make a monumental failure like LAMBA Obi to even run for presidency.
Not being partisan, but do you think if Tinubu had left APC & joined an unknown party, he would have made same impact as LP?

Answer is Tribalism. We are too divided along tribes to unite to fight oppression. Except for football & sports, you hardly find Nigerians speaking with one voice.
