Why I Refused To Vote Obi After Being An Obidient by richmond500(op): 1:07pm On Apr 17, 2023
During the primaries, I had preferred candidates which are Osinbajo, Amaechi or Umahi, with Osinabjo and Umahi being my most preferred.
I had no preferred aspirant from the PDP cos the two heavyweights (Atiku and Wike) were people I would never love to support.

But after my preferred candidates from APC all lost to Tinubu, I was sad and frustrated but then Peter Obi became the candidate of Labour party and I happily joined the Obi team.
Few days after Obi was made the candidate, he was accepted by the youths who are tired of these old men, I was one of them too.
But the Obi movement brought in a anti democratic mob who begin to threaten whoever does not support Obi.
From the beginning, he was not my candidate therefore I had few reservation and tried to know more about him before I throw my full support, but then it look like all Obidients has to follow him blindly and few people who criticized him ended up complaining how their lives were threatened.
Even my friends who I tried to reason with ended up insulting me, some even insulted my background and education, I begin to wonder if I was the odd person among the Obidients, j listened to Obi talks and it doesnt look like he cares about how the Obidients are busy insulting and threatening everyone.
After the WhatsApp message fiasco which Obi had to bring out from an unknown group, I began to lose interest in him for trying
to create a bigger conflict in an already tensed up country.
I became undecided about the election and lost every zeal to vote in this election, but alas I sluggishly went out to vote and never voted for Obi.
when I heard about the low voters turnout, I was sure I wasnt the only one who lost hope in all three candidates

You never opted for Obi let's say the truth because all real obidients family never looks back.
How can other people behaviour makes you to hate whom you love?

So what has the piece of personal information have to do with anything... you picked a drug lord over Obi... who cares..

Thats why its called democracy,that was your choice but dont forget to look into the process that enforced tinubu as president-elect and not all those religious and tribal bigotry.

So why are you crying now?

My one vote and that of my elder brother who hasn't voted all his life cancelled your vote.

So rest

Vote or no vote.

Everyone will suffer the consequences of bad governance or enjoy the dividends of good governance.

Nobody is doing Peter Obi a favour by voting for him.

Stop thinking everyone who didn't vote Obi actually voted Tinubu
Re: Why I Refused To Vote Obi After Being An Obidient by bentenny(m):
If Obi's supporters behaviour was the excuse that made you not to support him,then your reasons though you are entitled to them,is not plausible and dead on arrival!

Every presidential candidate both here in Nigeria and in developed countries have all characteristics of supporters!

However,the character and personality of the candidate should matter more to you!

Well one thing I know is that whether you don't vote for him or not,everyone will suffer one way or the other if a wrong candidate emerges!

I think i understand where you are coming from. I never supported Obi (having known him when he was governor) but seeing how his mob behaves and him giving them tacit support is a huge turn off.
Obi is not whom he is being packaged to be.
