It is very imperative at this juncture, to correct the misgiving that is trending in the news that Peter Obi has no party structure, hence, he cannot win the 2023 presidential election.
This is because, the inherent dangers in this negative rhetoric, is that, it may discourage many voters that have made up their minds to cast their votes for Peter Obi or, undecided voters to think otherwise under the thinking or notion that they do not want to waste their votes for a loser.
Yes, the ObiDatti's Campaign Movement must tidy up all the loose ends to knock out every negative rhetoric that may discourage the voters not to cast their votes for Peter Gregory Obi of the Labor Party (THE BABA/MAMA/PIKIN POLITICAL PARTY).
Prejudice apart and without mincing words, this negative rhetoric is inapt and gibberish when taking into consideration, the current near political quagmire of the country.
As a matter of fact, there is no structure without people and there is no people without structure, vice versa.
Suffice it to say, there is what we called organic structure. Though, it is very rare in normal party political set up but you cannot completely rule it out in certain political scenarios.
Yes, the organic structure is an exceptional political setting to reorganize, reinvigorate and revolutionarize the political destiny of a country. NOT NECESSARILY A VIOLENT REVOLUTION!
However, organic structure mostly evolve from a mass movement like the Arab spring movement that toppled the authoritarian government of Hosni Mubarak of Egpyt in December 17th, 2010.
In so far, all the signals of an outright failure under the current leadership of the ruling party, APC namely; the unabated rising surge of insecurities across the land, the rising inflationary gap that is devoid all logics/scarcity of food, because of farmers/herders clashes, ethnic cleansing against the indegenous people of Nigeria, increase in unemployment rates among our restless youths, the massacre at the #EndSARS protest at the Lekki Toll Gate and a protracted ASUU strike that partially ended a few months ago, are some of the cummulated factors that gave birth to a ObiDatti's Movement in less than a year ago; and the organic movement is surging all over the country.
Yes, the 2023 presidential election is far beyond a party membership politics. This is because of the untold hardship the masses are facing; kidnappers and the killing spree by bandits, all over the land.
In light of the obvious multi dimensional social economics problems, it is not far from the truth to say the electorates in Nigeria have decided to take the "bull by the horn" to rescue political powers from the hands of uncultured and unethical party members to change the course of history.
Did we not notice that for the first time since the inception of this dispensation and simultaneously, that there are serious intra party conflicts in the two major political parties in the country; APC and PDP? The 5 governors of PDP insist they will not mobilize support for the presidential flagbearer of their own political party, Atiku Abubakar.
Also, the cabal in Aso Rock are doing everything possible to make sure "Mr. Emilokan lule" (the presidential candidate of the APC, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is defeated at the poll). The trails of the campaign fire works between the designated national leader of APC, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and President Muhammadu Buhari is a strong indication that all is not well with the ruling party, APC.
Moreover, the ongoing crises of fuel scarcity and lack of local currency as a result of CBN's policy to redesign the local currency is making it very difficult for citizens to get the basic needs of life. If not properly managed, it may erupt or snowball into another organic movement that might collapse into ObiDatti's Movement, as the most pragmatic option to rescue power from a disaster government of the ruling party, APC.
Methinks, it will be a great mistake for the two major political parties, APC and PDP in the country to equate ObiDatti's Movement to a structureless party organization that cannot win a presidential election. To do so, will be at their own political peril.
It is perinent to say, many Nigerians at this point are fed up with any political party that will reinforce failure because, the untold hardship in the country is unbearable; and the consequence effects are, banditry, prostitution, armed robbery, ritualism, abduction, gangsters, fraudsters/yahoo yahoo and scavangers across the land.
Alas, if President Muhammadu Buhari makes true with his words to ensure a free and fair election with the new electoral laws, vis a vis, the electronic voting system, Nigerians may wake up on the 26th of February to see a new dawn of political dispensation.
May God help us. Amen.
PLEASE, DO NOT RULE OUT THE EMERGENCE OF PETER OBI AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA TO SUCCEED PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI IN THIS PERILOUS TIME.
THIS IS AN UNUSUAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY AND THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!
HOWEVER, THIS IS BEARING IN MIND ALL UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
In addition, in less than three weeks to the presidential election, ObiDatti is surging even in the conservative northwest geopolitical zone and some people are saying Peter Obi does not have a political structure.
But, where are the big crowds in many states in the north coming from? These are not hired crowds, because we all know a Peter Obi will not give shishi (Shingba ko si). Peter Obi is not stingy but a prudent man indeed! It is truly an organic structure that is behind the surging of ObiDatti across the land. It is simply a natural support borne out of personal conviction. LOBATAN!
In the final analysis, it is an organic party structure that is behind the movement for Peter Obi for President across the land. It is strange to many people because, it is not the usual party politics/organizational setting but this is the obvious truth and reality on the ground.
PLEASE VOTE WISELY AND STOP REINFORCING FAILURE!!!
Time will tell.
