The OBIdient Movement is a National fight against bad leadership. It doesn't have anything to do with State Politics. I voted Labour Party for Presidency and Apc for Governship. Labour Party would have had a better chance in Edo if only they had presented the right candidate. You shouldn't let the love for a party blindfold you into voting the wrong candidates.

Labour party don dey collect votes like charity.

89k votes, even 1 state can give them more than that.

Labour party, the party that can't even get up to 100k votes in 5 elections.

grin grin grin grin grin Obi should stop wasting his time,Labour party can never win anything beside Obi's popularity is getting worse day after day.
Shouldn't you be more concerned about the terrible situation of the country rather than whether Obi wins or not ?
Obi can NEVER be directly affected by the hardship in the land. But can we say the same about you and your family ?

LP isnt so structured unlike PDP and APC that have a good war chest to carry people along.
There is no war chest anywhere. What APC and PDP do is VOTE BUYING with proceeds from GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION.

Call it as it is!

It isn't a big deal though. Night just mean the gubernatorial candidates are not popular.

It even happens in the same election cycle, APC lost Ebonyi at the presidential election but won the gubernatorial election

PDP lost presidential election in Enugu but won the gubernatorial election, same with Oyo.

Heck APC lost the presidential election in Edo but won 2 senate seats there
It's not same thing......you could see the representation across various regions....it's the structures that we are talking about......if anything we all expected LP to build on the popularity they already had by getting candidates up for the smaller elections.

LP shouldn't be about one ma alone,his ideology and philosophy should also reflect on other party members,that's if there was any in the first place.

It is not about winning or losing, it is actually about having substantial number of votes. Look at those figures again, that's a joke grin grin

Edo voted LP in the presidential because of Obi, it doesn't mean they must vote the governorship candidate. If there's a better candidate in another party, they should vote that candidate. I voted LP in presidential and PDP in governorship in my state.

You APC cretins are so daft

If the Obident movement wants to fight against bad leadership, it has to also face the state and local government levels too.

That LP is not doing well is a sign that the Obident movement is not ready to do the needful to change government at all levels.

A shame. We are now left with apcpdp.

Let me confess, I developed possibly unforgiving dislike for Obi when he supported the crazy Obifiele (I've forgotten the mad CBN man's name) naira policy.

The Labour Party has existed long before Peter Obi joined, and it will continue to exist after him. Peter Obi did not form the Labour Party.

The former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, won a governorship election on the platform of the Labour Party long before Peter Obi ever considered running for president, let alone joining the party.

So, this gaslighting attempt to make it seem like the Labour Party begins and ends with Peter Obi is misguided and will not succeed.
A complete distraction

The elections are long over, and when the election is over, governance begins .Tinubu is president. His "bolekaja" economic policies are causing untold hardships and pain for Nigerians.

The X user who posted this, and you who brought it here, should channel your frustrations and anger towards Tinubu. Peter Obi is not responsible for your frustrations and anger.
You guys better stop giving excuses like this. LP is not doing well at all.

BY focusing on the presidental elections, LP Has forgotten that government starts from the root up.

Your party is failing seriously because they are not ready to fight PDP and APC fire for fire. At all levels. Till they are ready to focus on rural and urban local govermnent as well as state government, it would still be the same PDP and APC using you guys for ludo.

Lemme tell you something, as someone who would never vote for tinubu and never voted for APC at all....at the end of the day, if LP had won the election last year, they would have faced the same problem...99% of government revenue going for debt service.

And the only way to relieve that pressure is to cut subsides, no two ways about it. Also, to improve tax revenue and diversify the economy.

Buhari was borrowing to run away from economic realities. By May 29, 2023, it caught up with nigeria. Tinubu was forced to take step i..remove subsides. But he is still borrowing because he is scared of the tax and diversificaiton solutions...so run from reality he does.

Where was LP before it garnered over 6 million votes in the last presidential election?

The truth is, we are in an era where a notorious narcotics drug trafficker, certificate forger, and buccaneering power grabber is engaging in criminal state capture.

Infact, The state has been criminally captured.

Know this and have peace.

My observation about LP is that they have more national support more than grassroot support.
Your indices is wacky.
Nope, they have very poor grassroot support, and very poor structure.

A lot of people vted for LP because of obi and because it was perceived as the christian party...and because they have a flawed idea that the presidency can do all things. The cold issue is that the presidency is limited...states and LG and senators have powers as well.

So, if LP cannot raise enough people at those levels, it is a bad party.

Look o, we need a new party to dislodge APC and PDP. LP for many was supposed to be that party, but they ain't serious. And it is sad.

The Obidients have really damaged the image of their hero, throughout the country, with their deep hatred for other tribes in the country. I doubt it if Peter Obi can ever gather the same volume of votes he had in the last election in future election.

Six million mostly in one region, old man. And in a few parts of the middle belt. And they took votes away from PDP...which is why tinubu won....because tinubu was not able to match buhari's numbers in 2019.

IN 2019, Buhari took 19 million votes. IN 2023, Tinubu took 8 million. Tinubu should have lost. But LP took all of PDP's SE votes, and a large chunk of the middle belt votes. Result...Tinubu won.

But Oga, LP is not doing as well as it should. If your party cannot win votes at state level, and all you are doing is blaming APC for 'rigging' (which is a flawed excuse, because to be serious, people vote for the big parties. I know, I have tried to convince people to vote for a smaller party in 2003, and I got laughed at. Some of us tried to get people to vote for Kowa, we got laughed at).....then your party is not ready to change.


Ye are just PDP supporters who are angry Atiku won, and split the party in revenge. Now here we have adrug baron ruling us for nothing.

Anyway, I talk my own. You are free to disagree.

Baba, we first need to get it right from the top. We can't solve Nigeria problems from the grass root. There is enough fund to buy the people in grass root. I don't belong to any political party same as over 70% Nigerians. Obi might not even be our focus in the forth coming Presidential Election. If Obi wants to show seriousness, he should start the grassroots mobilisation from the South East. He has the political influence and might now but he is not taking good advantage of it. He should first kick Soludo out and see if other South East Political Gladiators wouldn't join force with him.

NO, you need to start from the root up

Assuming Obi won the election, how would he have governed with PDP and APC legislooters in senate and house of reps. They would frustrate him, and deal with him

Plus most governors not being LP , another issue.

Root up, or forget about change. Presidency, despite appearances, is not that powerful.

How did LP take away votes from PDP?

I thought you all said that the noise around Peter Obi's candidacy was merely on social media and that it would fizzle out before the election. Some even described it as "Andrew Liver Salt." Suddenly, LP took votes away.

The last time I checked, Peter Obi/LP won the presidential election in the FCT, Nasarawa, Plateau, Lagos, Imo, Ebonyi, and Cross River States. These are states with sitting APC governors, senators, Rep members etc.

Peter Obi/LP contested the election just like the other presidential candidates and political parties. So why say that Peter Obi/LP took votes away? What about first-time voters?

I hope you won't come here to say that those states would have voted for PDP if Peter Obi/LP had not been on the ballot, because such an argument doesn't hold water. Would PDP have won Lagos, Nasarawa, or Cross River?
