This is a case of Goliath and David,” says Peter Obi, a long-shot candidate who has unexpectedly taken the lead in the race to become president of Africa’s most populous country and its biggest economy. “The big people are there, but allow this small person to do it. And I know I can do it.” As public campaigning was about to begin in late September, Nigeria was rocked by the release of three polls showing Mr Obi well ahead of the two candidates representing the main parties that have mis-ruled Nigeria since the restoration of its democracy in 1999. In two of the polls Mr Obi has a lead of more than 15 percentage points over Bola Tinubu, of the incumbent All Progressives Congress (apc), and Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (pdp), the main opposition. What makes this even more extraordinary is that Mr Obi is standing for the Labour Party, whose candidate at the previous presidential election in 2019 won just 5,074 votes out of 28m cast. https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2022/10/10/peter-obi-a-man-who-carries-his-own-suitcases-could-be-nigerias-next-president 3 Likes |

Any educated person that will know the opportunities and massive paradigm shift an Obi presidency will bring to Nigeria and still campaign against him or vote against him, is worse than the devil. I will excuse the uneducated ones because they're acting based on illiteracy and ignorance, but the educated ones  The worst of them are the bastards parading as social media activists, the likes of Reno and Deji, I pray they suffer the consequences of their ignoble actions today. |

The Economist is a Rats child owned rag sheet spreading globalist talking points and fiat liquidity scam economic policies. It is better suited for the bird cage . |

Vote4Obi:The Economist endorsed Buhari in 2014. The rag sheet is a mouthpiece of international Jewry. Guess who profited most from Buhari's dunce presidency - international Jewish banksters. The Economist is as elitist as they get. Peter Obi can not be a reformist when even him has endorsed the flawed system. Obi is their lapdog in waiting. |

A good product requires minimal marketing... Peter Obi is in a competition with himself because the difference between him and the other candidates is as wide as the Persian Gulf... It is Nigeria's finest hour... She must not miss it! 1 Like |
