Many think the more we talk about Peter Obi, the more popular he would get - and the better his chances of winning.


Frankly, this would not be referred to as politics but entertainment. Clowns are hired to entertain people in a circus. There are two benefits you get from a political race, a "political office" and "fame". Peter Obi is currently enjoying one benefit.


Let's get practical: you get a big advertising agency to market a launched product, but it doesn't guarantee the product would get more sales. What marketing does: it makes your product memorable in people's minds but it doesn't change people's loyalty to other products. Little wonder why flyers litter streets and people skip ads on social media.


Peter Obi has nothing to lose - he's got the love and affection of the people - even if he doesn't get the office, he's got the love of his small audience. Obedients have a lot to lose - they are the marketers, the advocates and the shame bearers.


The strategy of pillar-to-post is recommended but not in excess. A series of abandoned projects don't build a mission.


Politics is not when you show off your blings and chains but when you show your hardwork. If Bola Tinubu capitalized on showbiz, the APC would not be a manifestation today.


Popularity doesn't necessarily mean value - many celebrities ran for public offices and still lost. Bola Tinubu was valuable in his prime and his "value" earned him his popularity - and that same popularity earned him the Presidency.


People made Bola Tinubu popular by defaming him and he did nothing about it but yet all that, he still built a political party successfully and got a Presidential ticket on the same platform successfully.


Peter Obi's campaign is putting "popularity" before "value" hence, putting the cart before the horse.

Peter obi is just after that former presidential candidate tag

It's like a Chieftancy title to him.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: The party-switching/social media advocacy by Obidients maybe a strategy to divide attention given to Bola Tinubu.

It may be a sign of possessiveness of power, authority and attention.

Or to make someone less famous appear more famous than an "actual famous person ".

Largely, the Obidient's Campaign is likely focused on creating "social fear" than "concrete fear" just to get the oppositions to work more or talk more all in the interest of possible political relevance or influence that will make them feel good or powerful.

Why bother about writing pages of shit to describe a clown? That clowns must be a VIP

He is just going through the motions... scared of the backlash from Obidients if he throws in the towel. My opinion though.

Well said - that same clown should stop paying for nomination forms at political parties and buy a VIP ticket to a music concert or a N3million table.
