I don’t follow politics, I don’t support any party, and I don’t vote, so this isn’t about taking sides. But to be honest, Peter Obi is a smart man. He’s a political survivalist. He understands how to navigate power.

People forget he’s a businessman and businessmen know how to survive. He started in APGA and won there, then moved to PDP, and eventually to ADC. Through all the shifts, he’s remained relevant.

Don’t let the soft voice fool you, that is a way to get support and to look very soft,it is also a way to look unthreatened by competitors but he’s strategic, opportunistic, and ruthless when it comes to staying in the game. Word is, he might become the ADC vice presidential nominee. It fits the pattern. He has no blind loyalty to any party. When he sees opportunity, he steps in. When it dries up, he moves.

That’s not criticism. It’s just the reality of how he plays the game.

He learnt this from his master Atiku. I hope you know.

Tinubu currently dwarfs him. What's smart about navigating power, reaching the threshold, and then stopping short of stepping in to seize the opportunity mbok?

Tinubu, on the other hand, is equally strategic. He reached the threshold, maneuvered his way in, grabbed the treasure, and ran with it.

You definitely do not know the word smart or you just decided to abuse the word. What has Oeter built with his smartness politically? The attempted destruction of APGA or total destruction of PDP and LP?

Do you have an idea what it takes to be smart? Being smart automatically makes your politics, friends and supporters smart. Have you found any of those qualities in Peter’s circle?

Oh! You feel wearing black on black always makes you smart. Hello! No talkative is smart. The smartest people don’t talk much, they talk when the have to. They don’t react to every thing because they have other dimensions of addressing issues without making noise.

Calling a honorable and highly esteemed person like myself smart is acceptable but saying Peter is smart is a blunder!

Abeg Park well, Humpty Dumpty. Pride comes before a great fall

No, Atiku and Obi has different startegy.

Atiku moved from PDP to APC because he was not given the party nomination and has moved 16 times from APC to pdp, his moves are moves reactionary and he relies heavily on party deals and political negotiations and not necessarily a loyal grassroots base

On the other hand, every party Peter Obi has been in, he has been the given the nomination that means he has structures which he brings on the grass root level when compared to atiku, Obi doesn’t move unless he knows he can control or heavily influence where he is going to.
His grassroots structure, especially among young people and professionals, travels with him,he also has a more direct connection to his supporters unlike Atiku who depends on party machinery.

You are just a reactionary person rather than a deep thinker.

Peter Obi single handedly disrupted the political system in the last elections.

If every party he has left get destroyed that means he is the back bone of that party and once he leaves, they collaspes.

The share the same thing in common. The move from one party to another seeking for opportunities to remain relevant. While both end up as losers and then they move again.

My question is, what is wrong with Obi building labour party and making it a formidable party and then aim at presidency when they be is rock solid.

What was disrupted? That he won few states which every past opposition that lost also won?

Tell me what he disrupted!

Obi is not smart but he is just desperate. You see the faces of people he is now dancing with. He is so desperate that he wants to settle for VP slot. Or do you think Atiku will be Obi's VP?

Wtf are you saying bro? Did you even read this shit you typed?

Do you understand what disruption really means? It doesn't always mean you win, it means you change the game so much that people can’t ignore you.

Peter Obi did exactly that. He shook Nigeria’s political system, shocked those who underestimated him and won key states including Lagos.

A first-time presidential candidate yet he pulled 26.1% of the national vote. Atiku got 29.88% and Tinubu 37.62%.

That’s disruption, Not by power or money but by shaking the status quo.

That he is even able to win a few states makes them so happy all the time. 😁.

Very few understanding the dynamics of this game called politics and how to play to win.
I know a lot of people who Tinubu sponsored to make sure that the Obidient remained very, very active through out the election. Because on the premise of very simple logic, Obi's vote ordinarily amounts to a waste which was so obvious but acceptable by his supporters preferring it to be a waste. That was how very much the mechanism put in place worked on the Obidient's psyche.

Another is Bwala. If you think he left APC for PDP and was made spokes man for PDP because of a sentimental Muslim Muslim ticket. Then you are on a long thing.

So His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is a second time presidential candidate and he never distrupyed anything, but Peter that lost disrupted the status quo.

Hello, Peter did nothing special. Tofa of SDP did more than Peter of you want to start pulling up those numbers. You are only emotionally attached to Peter and why you see his norms has an achievement.

Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable

Very smart navigator, that is why he contested as VP and lost, he contest as President and lost. He will contest again and lose. Very smart man.

Tinubu contested against Buhari, \Osinbajo, Emefiele, Atiku, Obingo, Amaechi, Aregbesola and the who gullible Nigerians who were deceived and forced to vote against him through change of Naira and making Naira not available, scarcity of petrol to anger gullible Nigerians, yet the god of Politics defeated Nigerians.

Since you don't compare compare the gods to humans, don't compare the god of Politics called JAGABAN to ordinary humans
