PETER OBI NEEDS TO BE FIRM.
Sometime ago I cautioned against Peter Obi addressing Atiku as his boss. Yesterday, the implication of addressing Atiku as his boss played out when one of Atiku’s boys, Dino Melaye, trolled him like one of Atiku’s boys.
For Christ sake, Mr. Peter Obi, this is politics. In politics, no fellow contestant is your boss, no matter the relationship that used to exist between you guys.
What Dino Melaye did yesterday was not only spiteful, it was also an indication of how an Obi presidency would be treated with utmost contempt and disregard by most elites if he wins.
Peter Obi needs to start unclothing himself of his political gentility. He needs to indict the PDP for being hugely responsible for our ill-fated economy today.
If he doesn’t start doing this, we are going to see a repeat of Okowa’s indicting remarks about him yesterday. Okowa said he was one of them until he recently jumped ship.
In politics, there’s nothing like my “elder brother” when the both of you are political rivals gunning for the same seat.
Dino, Bwala, Reno and all vocal machineries of the PDP are taking turns to swipe at you and you are calling their paymaster your “my oga.” Are you for real?
The PDP knows that Peter Obi is the only reason they are not going to win the 2023 election; hence, they need to demoralize Obi’s and treat him like a nobody in the race. They know his chances but forbid to recognize it.
For a fact, the person who is a nobody in this race is Atiku Abubakar. I have been wondering about how disgraceful the 2023 presidential election will be for him.
Atiku has no chance in the whole of the South-South, South-East and South-West. So why is he contesting? Even in the North Central States, Peter Obi will floor him there.
Benue, Taraba, Nassarawa, Plateau, Kogi, FCT, Niger, etc. These States have a huge number of upward and mobile youths and people who do not want APC and PDP.
Southern Kaduna, Zaria and Kaduna main town are going Peter Obi. Kano is going Rabiu Kwakwanso. The North East votes will be shared between Atiku and Shetima. He may have a slight advantage in the North West but it will still be 50-50 between APC and PDP there.
Also, be aware that we have majority of Christian residents in far North. There are so many Christian communities in far North who will vote Obi.
Atiku is running a presidential campaign with a divided party. How is he expecting victory? Rivers State would have been one of his best bet because of the strength of the voting population there. Unfortunately for Atiku, Wike is gambling the votes there between Obi and Tinubu. But Obi will win there because Rivers State is fully Obi.
Even in Delta State where his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa is the governor of the State, he will still not be able to deliver the State to Atiku. Delta State is radically ObiDient. Okowa may succeed in winning his polling unit, not even Agbor for PDP.
Atiku by my calculation is expected to come fourth after Rabiu Kwakwanso. This election is between Tinubu and Obi.
Obi should stop debating with vice presidential candidates. Atiku knew Tinubu was not coming that’s why he sent Okowa. Obi should have declined as well because the debate is for presidential candidates, not VP candidates.
