Peter Obi of Labour Party is simply the best candidate and the man Nigeria needs desperately come 2023 presidential election. He outlined the issues that has bedevilled the country over the years proffering solutions to change the narrative once and for all. Peter Obi said:
1. I can’t sleep because I know what to do! I have gone round the 36 States of the country like I have gone round 31 countries of the world, I know the problems of Nigeria and I know I can fix them easily! Because I can see them, I can fix them!
2. Hunger takes people to the streets! Job and food will obviously take them out of crimes! That’s my specialty, creating jobs and wealth!
3. I have not come out for myself! I have come out for the millions of youths that are losing hope in our beloved country!
I have come out for the millions of women who are afraid of tomorrow and what it holds for them and their children! I have come out for the poor who are asking weather it’s a sin to be a Nigerian! For them, I have come!
4. For people who are asking if Peter Obi has ‘structure’, what structure is bigger and stronger than the collective will of the masses on whose necks the knees of the politicians have been? What structure is greater than the determination of a people who have at last decided to take back their country, their only country?
5. The battle for the rescue of the soul of Nigeria has just begun and we must all be contributive and participative in it.
6. Yes, we may not have the money to share because we didn’t steal any.We have not come to enslave but to serve.
7. Have you imagined somebody giving you money to help you? Bribing you to go and serve you? It’s wisdom to go for a permanent solution than a temporary remedy!
8. This battle is to help Nigerian youths, Market women, struggling families, students, teachers, famers, old and poor, whose helpless looking faces I see everywhere I go. It’s for these people that l, Peter Obi, have come! However, like a drowning man, they must bring out their hands to be saved!
9. In this battle, if you can’t fly, run! If you can’t run, walk! If you can’t walk, crawl! If you can’t crawl, roll! If you can’t roll, shout! By all means we must be on the move and we must be heard!
10. These people are more than 50 million of the Nigerian voting adults. They have the power. Their destiny is in their hands so they can change it. If they will it, they will win it!
11. Remember, the man with energy will always be at the mercy of the man with strategy based on synergy. With God on our side, we shall not fail and we shall not fall! May God help us!
God bless Nigeria!
12. I will rather lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing.
13. Nigeria must move beyond oil; we must move from Consumption to Production nation.

Lmao, I have asked these questions, particularly that last one multiple times and they have no answer always.

The only reply they usually have is insults, they think campaign is war when in reality it's not.

TooNoisy:
So as usual, one relatively young Peter Obi supporters came to ask me to become Obidient. He mentioned that PDP was the same with APC and we cannot vote both of them. He went on to say Atiku and Tinubu were too old and both don't mean well. The usual story. So I reminded him that he asked me to vote for Atiku in 2019, so I wanted to know what has changed. He went on the repeat the same things he started with and he mentioned Obi was the only one who could save Nigeria. So I asked three questions.

1. What if Atiku/Obi had won in 2019. Would he still be saying the same thing. So if Atiku/Obi ticket which he was pushing won in 2019, would he still be calling Atiku a thief and Obi a saint? His only response was that, we thank God that did not happen. So I asked him if he was wrong for pushing the Atiku/Obi ticket in 2019 and he had no answer.

2. I asked him if APC and PDP are that terrible, why should I vote for a man who has been in PDP for the past 7 years and only left a month ago. This same man was PDP vice presidential candidate when Atiku was sharing dollars in 2019 and he still wanted to be president under PDP up until one month ago when he realised he couldn't win. Again, he had no answer.

3. I asked him if Peter Obi miraculously won the election, and the NASS was controlled by APC or PDP. What does he think will happen next? It will be very clear Peter Obi wouldn't get anything done because he will have a very antagonistic NASS. Labour Party does not have candidates in 80% of the NASS positions and will barely get any senators or reps. So if the NASS is controlled by APC/PDP, then Peter Obi will either get impeached or join the APC./PDP. Labour Party has no structure, no representation, it is a one man show. Peter Obi will probably decamp again to PDP or else get impeached. Again he had no answer.

So he agreed to get back to me when he had the answers to these three questions. May be some Peter Obi supporters on Nairaland have answers to these three questions. Lets wait and see.

So you have been asking and still no responses. As you can see, I have got some insults, someone said he only knows about Atiku and Buhari.

No one has been able to answer these questions. May be the more intelligent Peter Obi supporters are still sleeping as it is still early. Hopefully someone would be able to give us direct responses even if he has to add a few insults.

Now, please, don't go being dishonest. It is only the people who have no answers for you that have insulted you... about two or three guys up there have responded to you soundly and in a civil manner.

I even find your questions very intelligent and realistic... but when you're going "no one has responded..." when the thread shows otherwise, it makes me question your intention. I hope this gets to the FP too, and I know you'll get more sensible responses. Hopefully, you'll see reasons and won't just be making their fingers dance in typing when you will still continue being a cynic. I mean, is it because you want to know or you just wan find mouth? No wahala sha. Others will read and learn.

I have not insulted you too before you will come to paste that tag on my head, and I also cannot give you satisfactory answers...YET. This is my first time being politically active and participating in such discussions, so I'll rather much prefer to observe and learn and read from learned minds, but all I'll just say as it is now is that:

- Obi is a lesser evil of the three
- He's relatively "fresh" out of governance compared to the other two popular ones
- Following his lifestyle and speeches from videos and interviews everywhere, and track records, I am convinced he has something to offer. None of the other candidates do all that or are this much "in the public face," and then still maintaining their white clothes inspite of all the criticism, lens put on him.

And, someone told you that it is a candidate's job to sell himself as he only knows of Buhari and Atiku --- why do you fault that? I don't understand??

The answers to your questions are very simple...

Atiku still remains a thief; that fact hasn't changed to date. The reason most people overlooked his tainted record and supported him in 2019 was because he stood tall as a better alternative to the main contender and president at the time Buhari. Elections are a game of choice between 2 or more people; when the electorate is faced with 2 or more bad choices, they go with who they perceive as a lesser evil (which is what Atiku was in 2019). But in 2023, with Mr Obi now in the race, Atiku no longer stands as the lesser evil. Your boy did no wrong by selling Atiku in 2019 and switching to an even lesser evil in 2023.

Anyone who understands Nigeria's political space knows that both APC and PDP, and even Labour party are all the same. Nigeria's democracy isnt mature enough to accommodate independent candidates so for a good and credible candidate to run for office, he/she still needs a political vehicle and has no choice than to settle for one of the already polluted parties.

Given these circumstances, the only thing that matters and should be focused upon is the pedigree/reputation/credibility of the candidate themselves, and not the party (except of course we just want to deceive ourselves). The very fact that Mr Obi bluntly refused to be a party to the corrupt dollar bazaar in PDP, and even took a bold step to leave a most promising platform to go into the wilderness, that already speaks volumes on his credibility.

Let him win the election first! Then Nigerians will get to understand that the the greatest structure is the PEOPLE; if the masses can be behind a leader, that is the strongest structure any leader can ever have. If Obi as president wants to do something which the people genuinely adjudge to be good, as long as the PEOPLE are behind him, the NASS would be too scared to stand against him.

Now this isnt just some theoretical hypothesis crap, this is something Mr Obi has clearly experienced before and is currently experienced in handling. Mr Obi was impeached twice as governor for refusing to share money to party and house of assembly members. But guess what? Each time the PEOPLE stood by him, he came back stronger.

And should he choose in the future to decamp to whatever party he chooses, that to me (and to every enlightened Nigerian who understands our political space) does not define the man.

Okoroawusa:
If you are asking a staunch Peter Obi supporter question you just want to collect insults.

You are lucky that the one you encountered was a young man. One of Peter Obi supporters that I asked questions last week said that I am lucky that I wasn't in Alaba International Market as I was asking my questions if not I would have been killed in minutes.

Really? This is how low you'd go? Continue. You sef know in your mind, and your conscience, that's if you still have it, will judge on this bolded.

Epurogonogono:

Op just wants to argue with that young man just for the sake of argument.

If you are truly ready to vote for the right candidate, the questions you should be asking should be focused on the detailed plans the candidate has for Nigeria and see if they are realistic (not "I will ensure Nigeria has 24 hrs electricity within a year" and all those nonsense with no strategy).

You should also be asking of the candidate's track record of credibility, integrity and accountability.

To be honest, If Atiku had won the last election with Obi as vice, things would not be much different from the way it is now. We can see a classic example now, as Osinbajo, despite being a good candidate, can't really do much as he is just an assistant and not the one in charge. That's why Obi had to leave PDP, where he knew he would not emerge as the candidate.


As for the structure you mentioned. Well, you can see where that structure landed us to. Even with most of the NASS members being from the two major parties, you can see the situation of Nigeria today.
Why not try something new OP.

I as a person neva advocated for Atiku Obi candidacy. Neva voted in 2019.
Meanwhile, party is just a vehicle.
In Anambra, Obi did well, but Obiano his successor performed below.

According to ur option 3, if Obi wins president, there will b massive defections into Labour Party. Nothing new. He can aswell join back PDP if d pressure is there.

Obi is good for d job. But am still afraid of d people da will work with him, naija is too vast and diversed

Factcheck0001:
what do u mean by Obiano performed below?
Check d pictures n tell me obi person better

optm:
if these same people choosing atiku and tinubu over peter obi were asked to choose from the three candidates who should run their organization supposing they had one, over 99 percent of them would go for peter obi . Why do they bring in sentiments when it comes to matters of governance which affects us collectively ?

UnknownT:
Your number 3, hope you know that the majority of the problems we are facing now are all caused by Buhari and not be National Assembly or even your state governors. Hike in food price, insecurity, Naira becoming worthless daily are issues that a president can tackle without going through the national assembly? When we imported bad fuel, did it go through the National Assembly before it was imported? No! So yes, if things can go bad under Buhari without the NASS input, things can also become better under Peter Obi without Labour Party having a single seat in the NASS.

butterfly777:
Thank you for helping us to see the obvious. We have realized that Peter Obi, Mr Prudent, will need to have senators and reps members from his party to help his government. So, we are working towards helping them win senate and reps seats. Even seats at state levels.

Thank you once again.
We remain OBIdient.
