ScamHunter:
There are competent Muslims in the North. Obi doesn't really need another economist but a good administrator that can also relate with the people and that has popularity. That former Jigawa state governor comes to mind but I think he may be tainted by corruption. It's hard seeing a clean person in PDP and APC anyway.

North Central Christians from the following state
Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, and the Federal Capital Territory.

Obi don't need a politician as VP but a successful Business Mogul or professional field , Young and vibrant , he don't need any structure the Nigeria people are his structure

ScamHunter:
This is a bright idea.

I appreciate.

Point 8

Tinubu has thugs
Atiku has almajiri
Peter Obi has educated minds

Against brute Force, education pales to I significance. How can the Obi movement counter electoral violence?

He needs a structure to counter rigging from the grassroots, voter buying, INEC manipulation and more. He cannot be everywhere at the same time.

Point 9

Use of armed gangs and security agencies for voter intimidation. How can the Obi movement counter this?

ScamHunter:
I can think of mass mobilization and sensitization of Nigerians. If this country were in say Europe or North America, I'm sure Obi won't need to campaign so hard to win because his opponent are men of low competencies compared to him. However, this is Nigeria where fools ride on horses while princes go barefooted.

What practical suggestions should the Obi movement employ to dislodge the crooked politicians?

My suggestion is coming

Obi is still on social media. He need to go into the street.

1. He should break the electorate into states. Each state should have coordinators and offices

2. Break it further into local government. Each local government should have coordinators and offices.

3. Break it further down into pooling units. Each pooling unit should have coordinators and offices.

4. More emphasis should be on the pooling units. Members of each pooling unit supporting the movement should know each other. From here campaign is easier. Defending their votes is easier.

5. He should visit the state offices to see they are real. And the people are real and committed to the cause.

6. Hold meeting once a week with the coordinators, from state to pooling unit at once to know their progress in terms of out reach, registration of members etc. This can be done online.

7. Registration of members should be based on voters card. Anyone without a voters card shouldn't be a member of the party.

This is enough to get him the sit.

Business is relationship.

Point 10

A structure of stalwarts

PDP and APC have a headstart with stalwarts on ground. How can the Obi movement incorporate stalwarts who believe in the future and good governance. People who can stand against the brigandage and amok of PDP and APC at the grassroots?

Another good point. Do you think that his plan of mobilizing the labour unions could do that considering that those may have been compromised?

No! You don't need labor unions. You need men and women in the street. Sell your idea directly to them. Let them see how it the benefit them and the nation.

The rest will be history.

Whiteangel1234:
He need to carry the North Central along and pick his Vice president for a North Central Christian , this people have been killed daily and ignore by the Government as if they do no matter

They are counted North yet not fit to lead this country or even be consider for VP by the so called APC

He can’t pick a north central Christian. He needs to pick a North western Muslim. We talking about wining an election here bro.

Actually there's no permutation under God's heaven that can make Peter Obi president in 2023. It's just not possible

Frigga13:
A vote for Obi is a vote for Tinubu

Power to the people

North 2023.

Can you please expansiate on this sir

At one time, no one believed a black person could become the president of the United States of America. Sensible Nigerians have been tired of the systemic failure and mediocre leadership that has become norm. They are now part of a movement...

Frigga13:
South south is going Pdp
North central is Pdp like south south
North east is Pdp core .. if not for Buhari that took em apc
North east is cpc and supporting North at center..

Igbos must que..
And stop shouting Nigeria youths .. who are Nigeria youths?
Just Aketi screaming power Must south .. which south

Propaganda don’t win votes .. structure and votes do..

Magic in and out .. Obi is not wining ..
Magic in and out Obi is sending igbos to political wilderness and destruction of igboland
Plus minus A obi is dividing igbos alone .. and dia votes ..


Las las if they lose out of Pdp .. then they have to start from 1984..

Is good obi ia on ballot at least make their eyes open for Nigeria politics

Make them understand better there’s nothing like south south south east.. Na Pdp join them.

You need to understand the role of TIME in political calculations.
If Peter Obi is able to pull 5-7 Million votes in 2023 with a relatively weak Labour party, his political profile will rise astronomically and be in good position for consideration for 2027.

Frigga13:
Igbos are rep u licana ans don’t have a leader .. we don’t follow person and we hate control

Obi is not an Igbo Leader .. Igbos are just supporting him as their own..

Not like Buhari in Islamic North or Tinubu as a god in Yoruba land

Nothing is really bad with this because all ethnic groups aren't meant to reason exactly alike.

All this talk is irrelevant to the reality on ground. Peter Obi CANNOT win the presidency next year. Where is he going to get the votes from? On twitter or Nairaland? Maybe in the future, but not next year

Peter Obi and Labour Party must also work seriously on a coalition with other parties that are tired of the thieving political leadership of PDP and APC.

A strong coalition will defeat these two parties quicker with a mass movement.

It's simple.Get Mr Tinubu to pick a moslem VP. Leave the rest for us.It's simple.Get Mr Tinubu to pick a moslem VP. Leave the rest for us....
