BY REGINALD TOBIN
In this country, it is unlikely for a Presidential aspirant who is not running under the two major political parties to be a contender in the election. That person will not even gather massive support in the first place.
The few supporters who may hang around such person may likely be family members, close associates and people who must have been paid to do so.
However, In the build up to the 2023 elections which is not too far from now, things seem to be taking a different turn.
Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi seems to be changing the paradigm and bringing a new wave into the Nigerian political arena. His cause is fast gathering momentum.
Obi had first declared his intention to vie for the highest political office in the country under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party. But Obi, in what i call a strategic political calculation quickly resigned from the PDP and joined Labour Party to pursue his ambition, going ahead to clinch the party’s Presidential Ticket. That, I consider a smart move.
Obi knew he stood no chance in the PDP, since his kind of politics does not reckon with that of the party. If you must win the Presidential ticket of the PDP, you must be ready to get involved in the “dollar play,” and it is obvious Obi wasn’t in for such. Hence he looked for another platform to pursue his ambition.
It is evident that Obi’s party, Labour, does not have the required structure or even finance to wrestle the Presidential seat with the big wigs, but Obi’s persona has since elevated and brought upon the party a good number of supporters and volunteers which I believe the party has never had since it’s formation.
Obi’s supporters have completely taken over the social media space. I know elections won’t be conducted on social media anyway. But even out of social media, a good number of Nigerians are also routing for him. They cut across young and old people from different ethnic and religious divides. Obi’s supporters and volunteers are numerous.
It’s true that not all Obi’s supporters are registered voters. While some are, some are not. But if those who wish that he becomes President in 2023 all have their permanent voters cards ready before election, I am sure that the Anambra born Businessman and Politician will do far better than some political analysts have predicted.
Still don’t be surprised if before the election, it turns out that about 90 percent of his supporters are eligible voters, because the rate at which his people troop into INEC registration centers to register and get their PVCs is alarming. I have two persons in my workplace who have registered because they want to vote for him. If there is one thing I know, it is that Obi’s supporters are real and genuine. Anyone in doubt of this is certainly not in touch with reality.
But For Obi, a man who is not willing to throw money around unlike his rivals in other parties to still warm his way into the heart of the masses is striking and surprising. Ideally, that is how it ought to be, but that hasn’t been the case in Nigeria anyway.
Obi alone has formed the most popular third force in Nigeria’s politics in recent times.
But what could be Obi’s selling point? Is it because his region (South East) ideally ought to produce the next President of the country? is it because of his style of politics or his past record in public office and style of governance?
As governor of Anambra State, it is a known fact that Obi managed the state’s resources judiciously and paid more attention to things of value, like education. It is also said that he handed over 75billion naira to his successor, while vacating office after his tenure as governor.
For me, one thing I have seen in him is sincerity. Obi is sincere, even when he speaks, you see it in his words. So far, he is the only aspirant who I feel has better knowledge of reviving the economy through local production and one who will prioritize education. Under Obi, maybe our universities will no longer go on strike. The issues between Federal Government and ASUU may also be a thing of the past.
Personally, I like Obi. I like his politics. I like his person. I like the fact that he doesn’t try to be like other politicians just to win the people over. He tells you he doesn’t share money and he doesn’t. Love him or hate him, it doesn’t change him. He is just himself.
I know very well that Peter Obi’s support base is still growing. Day after day, more people are joining his ship. But, he still has some work to do. Apart from the East where he is most likely to have grassroot support, Obi’s supporters in other geo political zones are mostly found in urban areas. He needs to begin to hit the grassroots. He needs to start building structures for his party around the country, especially the north. He needs to further strengthen his campaign all over the country. He needs to begin work immediately. If he can achieve this, then, his road to victory will not have too many hurdles. I wish him well.

SLAP44: Listen to the birds in the air, watch the swaying of the tree branches, the clash of the ocean waves confirm it everytime, chai, even the lizards on the walls are nodding their heads in agreement, NIGERIA IS ABOUT TO GET BETTER.
The only people standing against the will of the masses are a few corrupt rich people who are still hoping to control our common wealth, and mismanage it as usual. Asiwaju and Atiku, you are standing between Nigerians and our imminent freedom from wicked governance and criminal neglect of the masses which has led to millions of deaths and more still dying in instalments.
The masses should remove them through the ballots, if they resist, God himself should deal with them, those to be crippled for Nigeria to be better, God, cripple them, those that will be in coma and never wake until we get our country back, God let them faint immediately, those that must die before we get our freedom, may they sleep like Abacha and never wake up again.
Nigeria must be great again in our lifetime.
Vox populi, vox Dei
Peter obi will not win therefore both parties won't step down..he will forever earn my respect

Some students revealed to myschoolnews how unfriendly Ogochukwu Ukwueze tends to be toward students.
A lecturer by the name Ogochukwu Ukwueze of the Prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka from the Department of Linguistics and other Nigerian Languages smashed the head of a student in the class.
It happened that the assaulted student by the name Miss Blessing from the Department of art Education was trying to sign the class attendance after 7 am at the Faculty Of arts Hall theater when the Lecturer threw a plank with nails on the students first to dispatch them from signing the attendance. The plank with nails didn't get to any of the students but he went ahead to throw a stone which eventually landed on the head of Miss Blessings who is currently admitted at the University Medical Center.
According to myschoolnews finding, Mr. Ogochukwu Ukwueze is one of the youngest lecturers from the department of Linguistics and other Nigerian Languages, he became a lecturer 3 years ago after bagging First Class.
An interview with her classmates and witnesses revealed to myschoolnews that the Lecturer still went ahead to stone them again after the stone had made contact with Miss Blessing and he showed no remorse for his actions which was visible as he went back to continue teaching his class at the Faculty hall.
Her classmates who were present at the incident wanted to confront the Lecturer but were restricted by his students who were Final year students and this resulted in a face-off between both levels until the timely intervention of the university security unit. Her classmates went ahead to protest at the University Medical Center where the Dean of the Students Affairs Department addressed them and assured them that the matter will be looked into and that they shouldn't risk taking laws into their hands which might result in more damage.
