Why Obi Will Win The Case by proeast(m): 9:57am On Jun 14, 2023
I'm old enough to understand the sort of politics played in Nigeria. Also, I have read 'tons' of history books to know how events always play out.

Peter Obi is likely going to win at the tribunal. Not necessarily because he has unassailable evidence but to prevent Nigeria from sliding into a dangerous pit. Yes, Obi has enough evidence to win him the case any day but he isn't going to win based on the merit of his petition but to preserve Nigeria. Again, not because if Obi fails at the tribunal Igbos will automatically break away from Nigeria. No, Nigeria's breakup won't happen over night, it will take years of continuous deterioration and anarchy before it eventually implodes. That's how other countries with similar makeup broke up. Examples abound like USSR, Sudan, Ethiopia etc.

Believe me, North stands to lose more than even Igbos if Tinubu perpetuates himself. I can assure you that they've become very anxious and full of trepidation about the status quo and what it portends for them going forward. They never thought that Tinubu will emerge president. Their calculation was that Tinubu will contest against Atiku, then Atiku will sweep the polls but they didn't reckon that Obi will become a force through LP. Obi's emergence truncated their plans. To worsen things for them, Wike also messed up PDP in the South. So, when they realized that Atiku had no pathway to winning, they decided to align with Tinubu. Tinubu was more calculative than them and with enormous money at his disposal. As if that wasn't bad enough, a mugu like Buhari was president.

The last thing North wants is a powerful Southern president who can easily have his way. If they were uncomfortable with Tinubu before, now they're likely getting scared of him. The support Northerners are giving Tinubu now is not based on love but out of fear. The same people that stopped Awolowo and Abiola from becoming president based on what they stood for now have Tinubu who is obviously more unpredictable to contend with.

They also know that Tinubu will win a straight second term if he isn't stopped. 8 years of Tinubu will definitely ensure that political and economic power is fully controlled by Yorubas. Igbos can survive such situation, at least they haven't been in power since the end of civil war. Any serious hostility in Lagos will result to divestments and reinvestment in the East. But unfortunately for North, they will have no fall back position. Political power have always been their consolation. Losing it to Yorubas will make them extremely vulnerable and their future survival in Nigeria highly uncertain.

The tribunal is their last chance of stopping a state capture.

Obi is not going to be declared winner of the Presidential elections, so you will do well to stop hallucinating now.
The best he can hope for is an ordered re-run, which he will invariably lose because of the odds stacked against him.

Reciprocate South-East Support Through Inclusive Leadership, Igbo Professionals Task Akpabio

...THE WHISTLER reports that Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Tuesday, emerged the president of the 10th Senate with senators from South East voting for him en masse.

The professional’s president, Mr Emmanuel Ikechukwu-Jonathan, and secretary, Mr Cosmas Igata, in a release, urged Senator Akpabio ‘not to take the bloc votes of South-East senators and their last minute support for granted’.

According to the group, “Had it been that Sen Orji Uzor Kalu and Sen Osita Izunazo did not step down for Akpabio, Senator Abdulazeez Yari would have won the seat of the president of the Senate with his 46 votes as the 63 votes garnered by Akpabio would have been depleted by Orji and Izunaso.”

The group claimed that the votes gotten by Yari were a display of ‘the northern agenda to retain the Senate presidency seat which is against the APC zoning formula but unfortunately the ethnic card they played failed them’.

I don't care if Obi is declared winner or not, I'm indifferent at best. To me, it's a win-win situation. If Tinubu is able to outsmart Northerners, I will vote for him in 2027. The prime losers won't even be Igbos but North.

Tinubu operates like a maximum ruler. He doesn't tolerate opposition. North has always controlled Nigeria like it's their private estate. Someone like Tinubu will supress them. So, it's a fight between them and Tinubu. All the noise about Igbos is just a smokescreen.

Atiku does not have a better case, it's all in your head. Available records indicate that Obi actually won the election. Most of Obi's votes in PDP controlled states were given to Atiku. Obi already have the evidence which he has presented to court.

The tribunal can't judge in favour of Atiku because he didn't win! Doing that will set Nigeria on fire that may lead to breakup. Rather, once it's proven that Obi has the highest valid votes and the court rules in his favour, there would be massive jubilation across Nigeria. It's only in Lagos that would experience pockets of disturbances.

I was expecting to read what factors or valid evidences you will put forward to tell us you are so certain Obi will win in court, but you didn't give any.

You only pointed out that Tinubu is too powerful and the North are afraid of that. How does that translate to Obi winning in court?
Okay, granted assuming Tinubu is too powerful and the North is afraid, will Peter Obi be more powerful or less powerful?

If Obi will be more powerful than Tinubu, will it makes sense that the north allow him win in court and then have to contend with a stronger person than Tinubu?

And if Obi will be less powerful than Tinubu, are you wanting an easy leader in the person of Obi, for the North to take for a ride?

Dude, I support and voted for Peter Obi, but when making arguments on public platforms, I like people to make credible and valid points.
That argument u put up is too lame, and doesn't give credence to Peter Obi winning in court.

You only pointed out that Tinubu is too powerful and the North are afraid of that. How does that translate to Obi winning in court?
Okay, granted assuming Tinubu is too powerful and the North is afraid, will Peter Obi be more powerful or less powerful?

If Obi will be more powerful than Tinubu, will it makes sense that the north allow him win in court then?

And if Obi will be less powerful than Tinubu, are you wanting an easy leader for the North to take for a ride?

Dude, I support and voted for Peter Obi, but when making arguments on public platforms, I like people to make credible and valid points.
That argument u put up is too lame, and doesn't give credence to Peter Obi winning in court.

You and I knows deep inside us, that the guy is telling the truth...

This is exactly what is likely to play out..
