If Obi Loses ADC Primary Will He Be Able To Contest The 2027 Election According by Rutherford2019(op): 9:46am On Apr 18
If Obi loses ADC primary election he cannot contest another primary election in another party within the same electoral season (2027) but he can still contest the presidential election.
The only thing is that he's not going to contest primary in another party.
If a presidential candidate who contest and won the primary election of another party, say LP withdraw from the race, the party can pick Obi as he's replacement without Obi going through primary and that's what Datti is planning to do in LP.

Obi's ambition in the ADC has always been to deputize Atiku, it's just the mob saying he must be a presidential candidate.

If ADC is cleared to participate in the coming elections and Obi looses, as long as there's still time for before the deadline for primaries to end, he can still decamp to another party.

Either way, if he contests as presidential or running mate, Tinubu will win in a landslide.

Firstly, there is the legal consequences that you have not figured out.

Amaechi vs Rivers PDP saw the Supreme court declare that the party and not the candidate owns the ticket.

This saw to Amaechi being sworn-in as the winner of the Rivers state gubernatorial elections even though he was not on the ballot. This was after the PDP candidate was disqualified by a court challenging his emergence as the party flag bearer.

Another similar scenario played out when Yahaya Bello emerged as the winner of the Kogi elections following the death of Audu who was the APC candidate but died on the day of elections. Faleke who was running mate to Audu had claimed he must be sworn in but the court rather ruled that the ticket was APC property and that since APC won the election, the next in line should be the candidate that emerged second in the APC primaries.

If Datti contests and wins the LP ticket and he decides to step down, it is the LP candidate that came second in the primaries that will emerge on the ballot and Datti has no right to give what wasn't his in the first place to anyone and especially not some one who was never in the Party or engaged in the primaries.

Secondly, why is it so difficult for Obi to sit down and build an alliance within any political party he finds himself?

Why must he be handed a free ticket ?

Atiku is the Presidential Candidiate of the Party.

Peter Obi will not contest! If he defects, his name ought to be in the membership register of the new Party before it is submitted to INEC.

I know you guys are now counting on an Atiku winning the primaries for the sole reason that Atiku might pick Obi as his running mate.

Have you asked why Atiku did not pick Obi as his running mate in 2023 but instead went for Okowa?

If Atiku emerges as the flag bearer, he is most likely going to reconcile with Amaechi and offer him the VP slot.

Note that Atiku was supposed to appease Wike with the VP slot but instead he chose Okowa.

A grave mistake that cost Atiku to lose after Wike worked to ensure Atiku did not get the traditional votes the PDP were used to from the SS.

So I see Atiku trying to avoid such a similar mistake again by appealing to Amaechi if he (Atiku) wins the ticket.

As per Atiku picking Obi, just forget it.

Reason Atiku did not even consider Obi in 2023 was because the northern establishment told him that if he picked Obi as his running mate, they will not be voting for him and will mass mobilize to vote Tinubu instead.

The north did not want a scenario that an aging Atiku dies in office and a Peter Obi emerges as President and given all of Obi's open sympathies and support for I.P,O,B this was a scenario the north could not afford to gamble on.

So let it be known to you guys now that supporting Atiku will not see to Obi being Atiku's running mate.

Even Obi knows he can't win the primaries and if by chance he gets another obscure party to adopt him as their candidate without going through primaries, your Obi knows he will perform poorer than he did in 2023 as most non Ibos who voted for him have since ditched the Obidient movement for its brazen toxicity and tribalist agenda.

So take note: Obi will not be on the ADC ballot either as the party flag bearer or as running mate to anyone.

Obi's best and slimmest chance is to work to seeing Kwankwasso emerge as the ADC candidate but that won't happen in a million years.

He can't. His name must be in the register of any party whose flag he wants to fly and he can't be in the register of two parties at the same time. It is a criminal offense. The packaged fraud Peter Obi is finished.

ADC will not even accept Peter Obi's resignation if he wanted to leave. They have trapped him there till after the 2027 election. They will offer him campaign DG to Atiku, either he takes it or rots in the party.

And you forgot to add that Datti or any candidate for that matter who might emerge as the LP flag bearer can not arbitarily hand the flag to another candidate of his choice.

The OP reasoning is typical of his obidient mob.

This is how Ojukwu went to Gowon asking Gowon to join him in a coup to oust the Tafa Belewa govt and install Zik in its place.

Their reasoning is so bereft of common sense and logic .

So Datti will contest and win LP ticket and then hand it to Obi just like that?

This is how they want every aspirant in the ADC to step down for Obi and to have the party adopt Obi as their consensus candidate without going to primaries.

And these are the same people crying that democracy is dead in Nigeria.

I know its hard for you to accept but the SS, NC and Christian north are now supporting Tinubu.

You can vote the jihadist north for all we care but Tinubu will still win hands down by a wide margin in the SW, SS and NC and he will get the 30-40% Christian vote in the NE and NW.

Keep dreaming.

SS is a no go area for Obi and his obidient movement. They will be happy if they get even 2% tally .

NC will vote Obi as how?

Southern Kaduna is now sleeping peacefully and they will not vote for another Fulani man that has the midget demon in his govt.

The reason you are seeing jihadists unleashed on Kwara people is because that is the only state in the NC that the Jihadists have some support from.

So if you like keep building castles in the air
