I think they'd support the candidate that is not running from intellectual scrutiny.
that's common sense.

Atiku. He is for the elites. Tinubu is a socialist and Obi is a trader.

These people you mentioned have no pvc and will time their abroad vacation to election period. They are not relevant

LagosEmir:
You're the mod and would push whatever you like to front page , but know that the Market woman on the street that will vote Peter Obi over Tinubu is not on Nairaland

You people and your low-quality views, shallow and embarrassing reasonings sha..

This is why it's always a pain going back and forth with many of you

Tinubu cos he's the only candidate with excellent records with private sector's development.

Nice 1

LagosEmir:
Just reminding you that your power as moderator starts and end on Nairaland

As you are Emir of Lagos, how far does your power extend?

Sunshine311:
Did you see how Tinubu embarrassed himself yesterday?

more information please

Private sector will thrive more with Tinubu and Atiku.

Peter Obi has said he will be stingy from day one.

Meanwhile Is this true

OPS will go for Tinubu or Atiku. Unlike the ignorant emotional masses who can’t see through Obi and his BS, the OPS are able to decipher BS and know Obi is a disaster for the economy.

Obi lokan

JoeNL22:
I don't need your attention......what I need is you to understand that obi has wat it takes for the private sector to support him. He has created various establishments and has helped people grow. Hence your assertion about him killing the local industry is dead on arrival and holds no water to begin with.

You have clearly not understood the argument in the main. Be quiet and let us hear word.

Mynd44:
1. Tinubu was governor of Lagos. His party governs Lagos and the next industrialized state, Ogun.

The influence of these two states is enough for the private sector to listen to him. Lagos has almost 85% of the headquarters of major corporations and all the HQ of banks in the country.

Lagos hosts the important ports which these sector needs and has also demonstrated making them better by starting need ports in Lekki and Badagry.

Lagos is the largest by population hence their work force and also the largest market for their goods.

2. Atiku is one of the most important people in Nigeria's organised private sector as he is on the top 5 biggest employers of Labor. He is one of them and understands their pains. He is also one of them since he also produces and he knows where the pinch is. When FOREX is a problem, he feels it and knows the pain. He knows the pain of finding the right staff, the pain of getting the raw materials, the same pains other people in the private sector go through

3. Obi is not a producer, he is an importer. He is a risk to local producers as his policies on importing will run them out of business and out of money. He just said he will lift restrictions on importation. Imagine being Kenneth Imasuagbon and after you invest billions in your rice production business, a presidential candidate says he will lift restrictions on rice importation which means your rice will be the most expensive and your investment will probably just die. How do you get behind such a candidate?

How has the restriction on importation helped our economy for Close to 8years??

You used rice production as an example, so why is the Price of rice still on the Rise? More than doubled when we were importing them?

Seun Mynd44 Dominique justwise.
Rule 1.

1. Please post all threads in the right section, and don't derail threads by posting off topic.

Penguin2:
The Organized Private Sector (OPS) made up of the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), and other similar bodies, are one of the strongest cabals in Nigeria that are rarely spoken of.

This body holds all the banks, Insurance companies, Telecom companies, etc, with millions of employees under their influence.

Sometimes ago, I heard it said somewhere that if the Organized Private Sector do not want you to win an election, you are going nowhere. While this is debatable, it is not far from the truth.

Having established the sphere of influence of the OPS, let’s now go into the crux of this piece - who do you think the OPS will support for the presidency in the 2023 presidential election?

Is it Tinubu?

Tinubu was governor of Lagos for 8 years; everyone knows about that. And I think his only relationship with the OPS came from when he was governor since Lagos is the economic nerve centre of the country. But that was it. Before and after his governorship, Tinubu is not known to have owned any business that made him a member of any of these bodies which would make him understand the needs of these bodies. If anything, the administration of Tinubu introduced a lot of taxes which suffocates businesses; no matter how we want to argue about how imperative the introduction of those taxes are.

Is it Atiku?

Like Tinubu, Atiku has no much affiliation with the OPS except for his time as Vice President of Nigeria and his ownership of Intels, a company that handles shipping of oil or so, which he has now divested from. Atiku also owns the American University in Adamawa but I don’t know if proprietors of schools are part of the OPS (people who know better should inform us).

Is it Peter Obi?

Of the 3 frontline candidates, Peter Obi is the only one who has been, and might still be, a member of the OPS. Having been Chairman of Fidelity Bank and sat on the board of directors of another bank, Obi is clearly sunken into the OPS. Again, being a major importer in Nigeria, something his traducers seldom use against him, Peter Obi is also a member of importers and exporters association of Nigeria (if there’s any such body). But what his being an importer means is that he understands the pains importers pass through to source forex and to clear their goods when they eventually land; not talking about high excise duties that these importers pay just to clear their goods.

So, from the foregoing, it’s quite obvious that Peter Obi is not only a friend of the OPS, he’s part of the OPS, if not part of the board of directors.

But this is Nigeria. That Peter Obi is part of the OPS is not a guarantee that the body would support him. So many other factors might make the body choose to support another presidential candidate like Tinubu or Atiku. Worthy to mention that it is also not likely that they will all swing to one person as interest and motivation might bring about divergence of opinion and choices amongst them.

But who do you think they will support?

Penguin is a bird of reason.

all this rubbish survey no dey work when the election starts. Election is local abeg!

They don't know...

When Nigeria first got GSM, it was mad expensive with time, the prices dropped and it is now one if the cheapest in the world.

Rice is reducing though, it presently sells for 31k

Obi

Clash of Obidient and award-winning mod Mynd44(banner)
. Obidient conclusions
--Importation won't affect local production
--OPS is more concerned about Tinubu issues than their business

PrinceOfLagos:
No responsible company or private sector will want to partner or associate with someone whose name is soiled in drug dealings

Drug dealing is a very serious crime that attracts death penalty in some countries of the world and Tinubu has been accused by the United States of heroine dealings and money laundering. No private sector would want to deal with man of too many questionable characters ..

Stop all this nonsense and be objective. The posit was clear.

Your write up is so Biased. You ask a question and answer it yourself with sentiment

Peter Obi. Very obvious

If you watch town hall meeting organized by APC in Lagos State with OPS, you will understand that Jagaban is their candidate, the set of big fishes that graced the event had attests to it.
