What is a structure? Who are the structures? We the people are the structures baba.

No, we the people are not the structure. The political party strength in every ward are the structures. Candidate popularity and structure complement each other in Nigeria democracy.

Again I ask you, do you think the Iya living in the remote part of Ogbomosho knows who Peter Obi is? But she will know PDP & APC.

They will have party representatives in those ward who have been living there since ages. Those will be the one to canvass local grassroot to vote.

What I’m saying is that those people don’t know NNPP nor Peter Obi. That is what I mean by politicial structure.

He is probably going to NNPP.

What I now don't know is who will be the VP or Presidential candidate between him and Kwakwanso.

If Kwakwanso will be the Presidential candidate & Obi VP; Then Obi is a big fool because he would have had more chance with being VP to Atiku in PDP.

If Obi will be the presidential candidate and Kwakwanso the VP; Then I like that even tho they will still lose the election. But at least he made a statement.

Only that the Kwakwanso I know will not be VP to Obi Pandora.
comrade, to the best of my opinion Obi is the best candidate from the Igbo region, unfortunately the apex seat is not his now .
but all things being equal no party can collect the presidential seat from APC even if all other political parties in the country merge.

People too dey reason low.....
As Far Nigerian politics is concerned... APC and PDP is the only party that has the political structure and architecture to bring a candidate into power.. other political parties are just fighting for recognition....
If you are not the presidential candidate of either APC or PDP... just wave goodbye to your presidential ambition...

You are very correct.

Except if all the major gladiators collapse out and pull into another party which will just be a nomenclature change.

All those structures will go back into the new party.

Just like ACN collapsed and it morphed into APC.

I am talking about general election.

How do you convince people in the remote part of Oyo to vote NNPP? What structure does NNPP have in those areas to inform voters and what incentive is there to push them to thumb-print?

Most of those voters that vote usually do that for parties. Because they have people right there in that locality holding sway since God knows when. So beside the notoriety of candidate in the city/social media, they need that party to be recognized in rural areas. NNPP don't have that.

That is exactly why error votes from party with name identical with PDP/APC are more than the combined vote of the third force parties in the last election.

Bro, twitter is different from real election.

He was never going to be the PDP flag bearer. That's what most twitter folks didn't/don't get.
And his supporters have been clashing with people with opposite view online.

Him contesting on another platform will make his loss, if he loses, less embarrassing. I still think the odds are highly against him when everything is put into consideration

Oga say the truth you won't die. Opposite view are different from outright abuse, insults, false narratives and allegations which other candidate's supporters have hurling on Peter Obi. Do you expect his own supporters to fold hands and be watching or to be clapping for them. Most of those influencers who abused and attacked Peter Obi did it because of ethnic and religious sentiments, others are because their meal tickets is at stake so they had to do everything and anything to run the most influential political threat to their paymasters, down.

Scram, get out of my mention and look for your fellow small-minded elements to engage in pettiness, unless you can prove that I am your fellow tribalist. One common feature that sententious, ethnocentric, hypocritical, disingenuous, and opportunistic elements like you have is a psychological projection attribute.

For a record, I have neither identify with Peter Obi nor any presidential aspirant before, and have nothing against Tinubu, or anyone regardless of where they are coming, even though I have always maintained that where fairness in particular and politics of principle and conviction in general take precedence over primordial sentiments in particular and politics of expediency in general that the next president of Nigeria ought to come from the South East, citing the existing arrangements prior to now. The same school of thought every fair and sane person has identified with.

Rubbish.

Re: Resignation From PDP: Has Peter Obi Miscalculated? by essentialone(m): 5:34am On May 26, 2022
Pre-2019 election, this same Atiku rigged the PDP Primary election by distributing thousands of dollars to the delegates at the erection which took place in Port Harcourt. Peter Obi was there and was fully aware. Yet had no qualms with his conscience when the same Atiku picked him up as his Vice President to be. Fast forward to 2022 and he is now in the forefront running. Suddenly he has realised that the "recent developments within 'our party' makes it impossible for me to..." They are not recent developments jare. Our party ko, their party ni. � Ndi a bu St. Obi sef. Ukochukwu, na the same people.�

You guys no dey learn.

Nigeria political history should tell you what I am saying is factual.

So you think since 1979, no third force candidate is as popular as Peter Obi to win outside their region?

No third force can upset election except the big parties collapse to form another one. Then all their structures are inherited by the new party.
