The nairalanders post

Structure is key to winning elections. I have heard many Obidients debating over this, but there's no two ways about it, you need concrete structure to win election in Nigeria. Maybe you don't understand what we mean by structure, let me break it down for you. If you have governors, senators and members of the federal house of reps contesting under your platform, you've got a structure. Even so, a party that has this structure in government before now has an edge. This is because they must have had a hold on their followers and can determine where the votes go. Whether we like it or not, PDP and APC have this on ground and may edge LP in that regard. Note that even in the south east, if Peter Obi wins, it means the state governors decided to work against PDP which I don't see them doing so. Working against PDP means ruining their chances. I give you a simple example, in 2015, many PDP parliamentarians from the north asked their followers to vote out Goodluck Jonathan. They taught only Jonathan will be affected but they too were voted out and a lot of them did not return to the national assembly. This is what will happen if PDP gubernatorial candidates/parliamentarians from the south east choose to work against PDP.

Finally, Obidients should note that a vote for an Obi will give an edge to Tinubu because it will reduce Atiku's chances. By not supporting PDP, Obidients are unconsciously brightening Tinubu's chances since the odds are obviously against Peter Obi. Tinubu is having a fill day seeing the crumbling of Atiku's support base. And if he can, he will support the Obidients so as to further meander Atiku's chances so he can emerge winner. Obi was Atiku's VP in 2019, what stop him from being his running mate yet again? An Igbo presidency is better achieved with a PDP than with an APC. Obidients, please shine your eyes!

Replying a nairander who said structure is needed to win elections .

I may be wrong or right but I want us all to do justice to this structure of a thing in winning elections. Is structure necessary to win election in Nigeria? Let's discuss this




My reply

This is the most foolish and most stupid write up I have read since this year. My annoyance is that you spent so much time to write the rubbish

You mean because I am a reps aspirant running under APC, then I will use force to tell my supporters to vote APC president? Are my followers blind that they can't make decision on their own? My Followers in my village may love me personally but hate my party's presidential candidate

There are equally LP reps and Senate aspirants in various localities too campaigning for Peter Obi.

If structure was the case PDP would have remained in power forever but they were voted out and defeated by a new party APC with less structure.

Are you so foolish and dumb that you don't know that people have lost faith in PDP and APC? Structure my foot.

The total number of governors, local government chairmen, reps, Senators, political office holders of all political parties in Nigeria is approximately 1 million compare it to 249 million Nigerians who don't belong to any party or structure but want good leaders.

Time have passed when a reps member will come to the village only during election and tell villagers to vote this candidate or that candidate. Even the north that listen to such have also wisen up. That is why you see northerners embarrassing and disgracing Tinubu.

The only thing APC and PDP have is vote buying power and rigging but INEC and CBN will end it.

For example: You can't tell me that hope Uzodimma who is working for Tinubu and APC will deliver imo state for Tinubu that will be impossible. Hope is just one vote. let's say hope Uzodimma with all his APC supporters and structure is at 100k (which is lower in real life) then the voting age population of Imo State is almost 5 million according to Google. Not all the APC 'structures' will vote Tinubu too

How can hope Uzodimma with 100k supporters and structure beat 5 million Imo citizens? Let's give hope and apc structure 1 million they can't defeat imo citizens in election.

If structure works, why didn't APC win in Anambra election, in Osun, in Imo. They had to rig imo election through supreme Court.

The only structure I know of is rigging power and vote buying


They know they can't win that is why you see them always buying votes because there is hunger.

If there structure is so powerful why will they have to buy votes and rig?

Ruggedniggaone:
Structure is necessary to win presidential election in Nigeria and that's where pdp and apc have advantage over labour party, only pdp and apc have ward party chairmen in every nook and cranny of Nigeria,Nigeria presidential candidate can not be everywhere but their Structure will reach every villages and towns to campaign for there candidates.go to every villages both in the south and northern part you will realise that only pdp and apc are known there.i went to one village in ondo in 2019 it located deep inside the forest but they still have pdp and apc party chairman and ward excos,Atiku and Tinubu may not these places but those ward excos will work for the victory of their party in those villages so if you don't have that how do you plan to reach those area? they have no light, no network or any road it was like 3 hours journey to the highway,do you think those people will leave pdp or apc presidential candidate to votes for someone they never heard or known his party before? the answer is No. so only structure can win you general election don't be surprised that some villages do not know obi or Labour party in the south east and they won't vote for Peter obi.

You forgot there is political game before government, there are people making up a political group. Those people are called structure

You can win an election without belonging to a polical group and you can win party tickets without structure.

Abbeytoy:
We have over 200 million people, and only about 50million are voters, now let say your party has an organic 1million structure throughout the country, then instruct them to deliver 10votes each with an irresistible offer.

Do the calculations and see if its matters or not.

Politics is a game of numbers and you can't get that number without structure.

sapele914:
Why waste your time explaining anything to that ecash120 wey no get structure for em medulla?

AntiTerrorist:
My Aunt is living in Idanre, my Mom is living in a village in Ondo while my Sister is based in Ibadan. They all visited me of recent and I tried to campaign for Obi to them. To my amazement, none of them has heard about Obi before. They were all confused about LP. This is because LP has not structure.

Structureless party can only win in cities not in towns and villages.

sapele914:
Quite obvious you know very little about politics.

When APC seized the reigns of power from pdp in 2015. They had congregated to form the majority in the National Assembly, before they had officially won the general election.

Even Apga has a better structure than the vagabond Labor party, in all honesty Pandora Pete is wasting his time, not money because we know say shi shi Apga Judas no go drop, Na the mumus go finance em presidential political pipe fantasy.
