2027: Peter Obi Or Atiku, Who Will Pose A Tougher Challenge For Tinubu? (981 Views)

I’m going to try to be brief. In the run on to the 2022 PDP National Congress, Obidients organized a nationwide march demanding PDP to adopt Peter Obi as their candidate and leave the rest of the fight for Nigerian youths, but many people in PDP weren’t convinced at all. Their reason? Obi cannot win a national election. To the naysayers in PDP then, they insisted an Igbo man cannot win a National election for their party. They were certain Atiku will win them the election by 12 noon on Election Day. Peter Obi saw the signs and left the PDP to Labour Party. A party that was just there. People laughed at him and those ing him. They said Labour Party had no structure. Some swore Obi will not win a single Local Government. Others swore he won’t score up to 1million votes. But in less than 8 months, Obi was able to galvanize his ers and went into the election and came out with 6.1million votes officially allocated to him by INEC. By that result, he was just 800k behind the Atiku they swore would win the election even with all of PDP’s structure, Governors, Senators, House of Rep and others. The country is still in shock till today. Now, as the preparation for 2027 elections heats up with talks of coalition ongoing, the naysayers against Peter Obi have started their usual rhetorics. They are swearing Peter Obi is not a match for Tinubu; that only Atiku can face Tinubu and win. And I can’t help but laugh. So I ask, who do you think will pose a tougher challenge for Tinubu in 2027? Is it Atiku or Peter Obi? THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND Keep in mind that should Atiku emerge the coalition candidate, it would truly be the battle of South vs North. No matter how hard anyone tries, that sentiment will rally the south behind Tinubu. All that will be needed will be the votes of some northern Christians, who mostly vote in same direction with the south, and Tinubu returns to power. But with Peter Obi? With Peter Obi as the coalition candidate, the Southeast and Southsouth will be locked down. Tinubu will be restricted to the Southwest (some Southwest votes if you like). In the north, the northern Christians will always choose Obi over Tinubu any day and time. And then all that will be needed will be for Atiku, Elrufai, and their men to deliver the core north and the election will be won by noon day on Election Day. But these are just my own thoughts. What is yours? Who do you think will pose a tougher challenge to Tinubu in 2027, and why? 4 Likes |

If they go into this election individually, then with the rigging machinery put in place by the drug lord in power, it's over. But if they contest the election on a single ticket, the outcome will be decided before noon, the drug lord will be sent packing.

Chucks13: A lot of people have lost faith in Tinubu. The suffering his istration has brought on Nigeria in two years is unprecedented. Assuming elections are free and fair, Tinubu has no chance of winning any future elections 6 Likes 1 Share |

Whether Obi or Atiku, the south will never rally behind Tinubu. There will be nothing like southern sentiment if Atiku emerged as the coalition candidate

DMerciful:The masses will think like that but southern powerbrokers will think otherwise. And believe me, as much as we are hoping that hunger has taught the masses enough lesson for them to want to decide their political future independent of any sentiments, you can’t rule out the influence of these stakeholders on considerable chunk of the masses. But with Peter Obi, these southern powerbrokers will be split in two, at least, while the fate of Tinubu and Obi will then be decided by where North aligns. Calculate! 2 Likes |

helinues:What factors are no longer there? Are Nigerians no longer hungry? Is Nigeria now free of insecurity? Is the economy now blossoming? Do we now have steady power supply? I can go on… Because if anything, the factors that gave Obi ‘third’ position has quadrupled enough to now give him first position. 1 Like |

Penguin2: All what you listed have been there before Apc . Muslim Muslim ticket fear which got Obi reasonable votes is no longer there President Tinubu not healthy, can't handle Nigeria has been dismantled While the narration which mostly were fed about Peter Obi being a saint, did wonders as Anambra state governor while in reality, he had a terrible tenure. Those who swallowed that initial narration now know better Inability of some Obidients to separate individual/group from a whole tribe will cost Peter Obi a lot 1 Like 1 Share |
