Bless His Heart- Peter Obi And His Street Mobs By Ejike E. Okpa
Wisdom of the crowd is MOB.
POLITICS DIGEST- Desperate and PDP wondered Peter Obi, dumped PDP before he dumped them, is jumping and skipping looking for political landing to cushion his fall. He has having stitched loosely non-collateral political movements to agree to him as their flagbearer. A stitch in nine that saves nothing except point to Obi’s desperation.
Sadly, Obi will not be president come 2023, fair or foul – Buhari will deliver for APC – game over. While Buhari’s choice may not appeal to majority, with Nigeria political high handedness he will overrule and business as usual will continue.
Remember Obasanjo selected Yar’Adua and Jonathan. Buhari will follow in that awful tradition. Suck it up Nigerians: You have no say in who is selected to be elected.

If Peter Obi wants let him load all buses with his fan club members to Abuja to chant, the political kingmakers have plotted to undermine him. They have since before the handwriting on the wall, he hastily resigned from PDP in order not to lose his deposit.
Obi should have hung in within PDP but instead just like with APGA he looks for opportunity.
It worked in Anambra but not national.
Even if all Igbos vote for him, which is highly improbable, he will not win with his current stitched political parties.
For the next foreseeable years, Nigeria will continue to produce presidents by selection not election from PDP or APC. They have become the 2 default parties. If you can’t beat them – join them and take a number.
Peter Obi has a sense of entitlement to the highest office in the land – rightly so but someone needs to nremind him, Nigeria is not Anambra State.
Just my 2 cents better than the 2 kobo I long left behind. It makes sense to me which is what matters.
Now chew on that.
