My brother, once again, you are debating an article that exists only in your imagination. 😁

The article is titled "The Obi Wave: From 2023 Tsunami To Electoral Drizzle."

It is about one question:

Has the Obi wave translated into electoral victories after 2023?

The evidence examined was Edo, Ondo, Anambra and the bye-elections.

Your response?

"Tinubu should have given us 24/7 electricity."

Whether that is true or false is a completely different discussion.

The article was not titled **"Tinubu's Performance Review."**

It was about the electoral strength of the Obi movement after 2023.

You say everything else is imagination.

Interesting.

Are the Anambra results imagination?

Was LP's 10,000-plus votes in the governorship election imagination?

Were the Edo and Ondo results imagination?

Those are election results, not imagination.

And nobody said you should vote Tinubu because somebody abused you.

The point was that constantly insulting neutrals is a terrible way to build a national coalition.

If five years in UNIBEN, two years in ICC and three years elsewhere taught you anything, it should be the difference between the topic under discussion and the topic you wish was under discussion. 😂

The question remains:

Why has the Obi wave struggled to reproduce its 2023 momentum in actual elections?

That is the article.

Try answering it.

Someone quoted my comment and i replied based on comments of the person
I did not reply to your topic but to the person comments
I hope that sink

Now back to ur imagination again🤣
Obi will be judged by his performance of 14yrs ago that affected only Anambrans in whichever way that suite your agenda,
Meanwhile Tinubu will not be judged by his performance that all Nigerians are experiencing now 🤣
Make it make sense pls

I dont have Obi manifesto when he was seeking for governor of Anambra
I dont know what he promised them.
But i know he did alot far better than any governor ever to govern a Nigeria state since the coming of the 4th republic
The records are there for everyone to see.

Now here is Tinubu that promised me directly 247 electricity with a caveat that if he doesn't do it, i should not vote him again.
So i will leave Tinubu promise he made to me and go and hold Obi for his promises to Anambran 23yrs ago that I am not even aware of🤣
Again
wetin una dey smoke
See logic like Benin ore road 😂

lamentor78:
Honestly if is Soludo he has my vote

U mean after giving Nigerians Buhari and now Tinubu, you still get mind to suggest who to vote for🙄🙄
Omo you get mind o
People like you should never ever be allowed to vote or have opinion on candidates.
The 2 you supported for 12yrs counting now have brought nothing but pains and disasters to this nation.
So please stop it

Christistruth03:
Peter Obi turned the support all Nigerian Christians from all Tribes gave him.into an Ethnic Witch-hunt

Many who voted for him are regretting it because of the vicious daily Ethnic attacks of his Obidient hate Mob.

Peter Obi never calls them to order
It is so pathetic

After una done smoke that thing finish
Una go just dey hallucinate
Epele
Decider of Christians
Wait till campaign start

CharlesCNG:
My brother, the biggest flaw in your argument is that you assume 2027 will be a replay of 2023.

It won't.

2023 and 2027 are different universes.

In 2023, Obi was the new product on the shelf. Many people had not examined it closely. The novelty was the attraction.

By 2027, the wrapper has been opened.

People have now had four years to examine the content.

That changes everything.

You say nobody knew Obi in June 2022. Correct.

That was his advantage.

Nobody had tested his claims, contradictions or competence.

Today, Nigerians have heard Obi promise 10,000MW without explaining the funding, transmission plan, gas supply, timelines or execution model.

They watched him condemn “structures of criminality,” only to later embrace the same old political actors when it became convenient.

They have seen him hop from one platform to another while asking Nigerians to trust his stability.

They have watched Labour Party fracture under his watch.

They have seen allies, spokesmen and supporters drift away.

Most importantly, they have seen that behind the fine slogans is a weak, confused and reactive leadership style.

The mystery is gone.

Second, it is funny how you accuse Yorubas of supporting Tinubu because he is Yoruba, but somehow the overwhelming support Obi receives from Igbos is always presented as superior political enlightenment.

Why?

What evidence do you have that tribal voting is tribal voting when others do it, but patriotic wisdom when your side does it?

Third, Obi is not automatically at an advantage because people are unhappy.

Anti-incumbency is not a manifesto.

Anger is not a policy document.

What exactly is Obi's alternative economic plan?

What is his power sector roadmap?

What is his fuel subsidy alternative?

What is his exchange-rate policy?

The answers remain remarkably vague.

Finally, politics is full of what I call Aba Trader Syndrome.

A product is wrapped in brilliant packaging, marketed with maximum hype and sold as revolutionary.

The buyer gets home, opens the package and discovers the content is far less impressive than the advertising.

The challenge for Obi in 2027 is simple:

How do you sell the same product a second time to people who have already opened the wrapper? 😁

🤣🤣🤣
Omo
What did I just read😂
U mean people sat down to unwrapped who is not in power ?😂
U mean all the propaganda of he built Lagos and now he is president and Nigeria is worst will be ignored?
U mean the hunger and poverty Tinubu brought will be ignored?
U mean the killings and kidnapping under him will be ignored?
You mean the promise of providing 247 electricity, and if he doesn't, nobody should vote him again, will be ignored ?

Instead we will now pour our anger and vex on Obi that rule Anambra 14yrs ago 🤣🤣
Omo
Wetin una dey smoke ?

I will repeat
only Tinubu performance would have silenced the oppositions permanently, not some propagandas or lies you tell yourselves in your group
I wonder what u really claim to have unwrapped that only those in ur group that never supported b4 him are seeing but others dont🤣

Tinubu made u a promise of giving you 247 electricity within his first 4yrs, you clapped, you never asked him how he intended to achieve it, you never asked him for numbers. now 4yrs is almost here and nothing has been achieved. But somehow Obi that gave u numbers, went to Egypt to studied how it was done there, you want him to now break it further into details for you😂, how hypocritical can u guys really be😏😏

Anyways, election nor far again.
There is nothing like he built Lagos. Everyone in Nigeria can now see and feel the administration of Tinubu and on that election day, we will judge him by his past 4yrs performance not the lies and propagandas u are telling yourself that you have unwrapped Obi😊

aswani:
You went to ICC on 3rd and Uniben and you think like this? A shame

Yes
ICC
And then when igbinedion handed it over to Catholic, i moved to western boys in Ikpoba hill and then completed my secondary school education in Niger college before proceeding to Uniben.
Shey u say i be igbo because i support the only man that actually have the vision to lead this country to prosperity.
I chest am with my full chest

Tinubu has failed and must be voted out.
I find it shameful that an Edo man is defending a failure.
How can u hate Obi because someone from his region abused u and not because he became president and Nigerian became worst under him.
Does abuse buy things in the market?
Does abuse cause kidnapping and insecurity we are facing?
I wondered how u think sha.
Is this the Nigeria u plan to leave for your generation?

aswani:
"He will clearly tell you Tinubu is a disappointment but I will still vote him because he is my tribe man"

The above uttered by your landlord is the same thing you are doing regarding Peter Obi. Why the hypocrisy?

By the way, Peter Obi never had any advantage to become president and he is spinning away from centre the more he opens his mouth.

Currently projected third or fourth behind APC, ADC and maybe even PDP.

Your oga's momentum ended when your fellow Ndigbo Obidients insulted and abused other Nigerians whose sin was not believing in your messiah. Good luck now asking politely for their votes.

🤣🤣
U are here again.

I repeat
only Tinubu performance would have silenced any opposition
Just that 247 electricity he boldly promise would have rendered the opposition to nothing
Every other thing u are saying is an imagination from your head.

Just imagine me will go and vote Tinubu because someone abused me🤣
Not because Obi became president and he failed to deliver on his promises😏
Omo
It means I wasted my 5yrs in Uniben.
Wasted 2yrs in ICC, wasted 1yr in western boys high schooland wasted good 3years in Niger college.
God forbid bad thing

U nor dey reason like Edo person sha.
So i am not surprised

CharlesCNG:
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.

Wait make campaign start na

As at June 2022, who know Obi?
Everything started from August.
People were even saying he won't win a single local govt
Some said they were just 4people in a room twitting.
Even Tinubu didn't see him as a threat until very close to the election.
Atiku was asked about him and his reply was he can't use LP to go anywhere and that interview was even in October 2022.
So don't rejoice yet

Like I keep telling u guys but u dont want to listen
Tinubu performance would have been the only thing that could have silence Obi.
In fact, giving Nigerians that 247 electricity he promised would have ended all oppositions.
But he failed in all
Obi is now at an advantage like never before.
Some People voted Tinubu then because of he built Lagos propaganda and want to see what he will do nationally
My landlord na Yoruba Muslim
Immediately Tinubu was swore in, there was nothing he didn't say.
All the praises in this world he heaped on Tinubu
The expectation and everything.
Just 3yrs after, go and ask the same man about tinubu
He will clearly tell you Tinubu is a disappointment but I will still vote him because he is my tribe man.
Let him just finish our turn and get out.

ATTACKING THE PRESIDENTIAL GUARDS IN ABUJA
SETTING THERE MEMBERS FREE FROM KUJE PRISON IN ABUJA

ATTACKING ABUJA-KADUNA TRAIN IN D MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY
SHUTTING DOWN KADUNA AIRPORT E.T.C

Tinubu is the worst president since the creation of Nigeria
In 2027; he is going

End

demstone:
ABEGIII!!!
NEVER IN UR LIFE COMPARE GEJ ND BOBRISKY

YES!!!!
GEJ WAS WEAK BUT HE IS A THOUSAND TIMES MORE COURAGEOUS DAN BOBRISKY

GEJ DIDNT HAVE D BALLS TO LET IHEJIRIKA WORK
HE DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO GO FOR STATE POLICE
HE DIDN'''T HAVE THE BALLS TO CHALLENGE MIYETTI ALLAH
HE DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO PROSECUTE ONE SINGLE TERRORIST..

BUT GEJ ATLEAST TRIED TO DO SOMETHING, UNLIKE

BOBRISKY
WHO RUNS AWAY FROM CHALLENGES

🤣🤣🤣
The NADECO fraudster is almost 4yrs and none of these have been implemented 😂
He is waiting for second term that he will never get 🤣🤣
At least bandits nor kidnapped or killed anybody from south south during GEJ.
Under the druggie, kwara has been grounded
Under him, oyo and ondo are under siege 😂
What an incompetent druggie
He couldn't even protect his own people.
If you are looking for failure, the okpolo eyes is the perfect definition

demstone:
U SAY TINUBU ISN'T GOOD ENOF
U SAY TINUBU DOESN'T DESERVE OUR COLLECTIVE SUPPORT..
OK

U SAY WE DESERVE A MAN FROM THE EAST..
NO PROBLEM

BUT WHY GIVE US BOBRISKY INSTEAD OF IHEJIRIKA

IMAGINE BOBRISKY LEADING US AGAINST
ISIS, ISWAP, ANSARU, BOKO, MAHMUDA, LAKURAWA
A MAN WHO HAS NOT SEEN POWER BUT IS ALREADY PROMISING TO NEGOTIATE WITH ISIS

WAKE-UP
THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO JAGABA RIGHT NOW

🤣🤣
So u sabi Ihejirika but ended up supporting and defending Tinubu and Buhari that a combination of both is worst than bobrisky 😂
I keep saying it
U guys lack the sound judgement to determine who is best for Nigeria because the 2 decisions u have made have led us to monumental disaster.
Anybody u guys ever support must be avoided like plague because the person will be 99% of the other 2 less bobrisky.

Hope that sink

madridguy:
Agulu Temu-messiah will never enter Aso Rock except as a visitor

The man is the foundation of every corrupt practice in Nigeria.

yet u sleep on nairaland daily waiting to first comment on only Obi post that move to frontpage
why are u afraid?

Dennisochampa:
Did Peter obi resign when students and market women were protesting in Anambra state with him as governor or did he resign when youths were killed in his territory and under his watch?? Did he resign when he was paying fire service members 10 naira as hazard allowance?? When he failed to build a single school, did he resign When poverty levels increased under him as governor, did he resign?? The new theme for Nigerians now na..... Make president resign.... U are comparing Nigeria to a country that have had a functional structure for generations..... If Keith starmer was a Nigerian with the way things are now... Do you think he would resign

Why did Tinubu ask GEJ to resign then ?
Or resignation is only for people outside your tribe ?
U can't even take what u dished out

mamawin:
If the President resigns, who takes over? The VP? who among the current politicians do you think has what it takes to turn things around? or outside politics?

That the NADECO fraudster failed doesn't mean others will fail.
Just admit and move ahead.
I hate people that support this govt talking about other politicians not been good.
U know who is good and not good, and u ended up giving Nigerians buhari and Tinubu for combined 12yrs now.
U guys should just keep quiet
U are too loud for a normal human beings

aswani:
As discussed before, you are never seen on Ẹdo threads but anything Ndigbo, you want to die there.

That was 2023 when loads of non Ndigbo's voted Peter Obi. Not now that Ndigbo Obidients have abused all else and shown delight in misfortune everywhere else to chase other tribes away.

How much of a complete bottom feeder can you be to claim what you are not.

Eyah!!!🤣🤣
U nor go cry ke.

The only thing that have cleared people eyes are poverty, hunger and insecurity.
And the last time I checked, Obi is not the failure in Aso rock😂
It will take the highest level of stu..p¥Dity for anyone to queue and vote Tinubu come 2027.

If e sure for okpebholo make him allow free and fair election in Edo
If APC see 50k votes, make i know wetin cause am😂😂

Wickedfacts:
This one don collect reset by force. Shebi you dey shout before

Me shout?
Where?
If he likes, remove Shettima and make his tribe person vice president
E nor concern me
Sha make dem deliver.

The thing Is, when another tribe enters and decided to do worst, we nor wan see a repeat of ojota protest.
The funny part is, after his 4yrs, before e go ever reach una turn again 🤣🤣🤣
So make una enjoy am now

If he likes let him pack all his tribe people everywhere
All we want is results.
Let Nigerians at least feel what good govt really is.

aswani:
Ndigbo claiming oredoo and you call someone a low life, oga bottom feeder preacher, heal yourself.

You see why I called you lowlife🤣
Anyone that support Obi is Ndigbo to u guys😂
That's what actually makes u a low life. Ability not to think beyond tribe.
Anyways
The almost 300k people that voted Obi in 2023 in Edo are all igbos😂😂
Really lowlife you are

TemplarLandry:
Lol. Person wey hand go soon touch.
During President Tinubu's second term, all terrôrísm apologists including Gumi shall be rounded up, mark my words!

I dedicate "I Know" by E.F. Moon feat. Star Jay to this.

Great jam!.

Nigerians including me would have believed you If he had delivered on just the electricity he promised in his first 4yrs.
That alone would have convincingly won him second term
He failed and Nigerians must never reward failure
