Is Peter Obi Gradually Breaking The "Structure Jinx"? By Smart Idemudia

"Yes, the 2023 general elections will reset Nigeria; it will serve as a wake-up call to African leaders across the continent that the time has come for the people to take power through constituted means; this is the first time in 30 years that we are seeing a people's movement ready to fight the old and recycled leaders to a halt."

That's what a 70-year-old retired teacher said at a town hall gathering in Plateau State, Jos, on Sunday evening. The septuagenarian interrupted a town hall meeting to remind residents of the importance of working to elect Peter Obi as the next president.

The grandmother, also known as "Mama Ibeji," was plainly enraged at why the country continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate with little or no action taken by the governing elite to avert the situation.

According to Mama, the only solution is for Nigerians to vote for competence and a president with the willpower to address the myriad of issues confronting the country. She said Peter Obi was the best option among the various presidential candidates, and she pleaded with the people to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration drive and obtain their PVCs.

Mama's crusade for Peter Obi highlights the gradual breaking of the so-called STRUCTURE JINX as preached by the dominant parties, the PDP and the APC. It is believed that the term structure was coined to discourage Nigerians from realizing that the majority of voters are not politically affiliated and, as such, are the real structure to be afraid of if there happens to be a structure.

From Mama's solo ministration at Jos in Plateau State we heard of over 15,000 youths and women in Nasarawa State indicating interest to become Peter Obi's crusaders, in a press conference same on Sunday the State Southern Zonal Chairman of Peter Obi Candidacy Movement, Victor Laka, explained that the youths decided to support the former Anambra State governor because of his leadership qualities.

According to him, the youths of the state's 13 Local Government Areas were tired of politicians from other political parties lying to the populace during electioneering campaigns about offering good administration, only to disappoint them.

Members of the two majority parties in Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress in Imo North Senatorial District of Imo State on Sunday collapsed their structures into the Labour Party and pledged their loyalty and support to its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

There is a continual rise in voter registration, with the vast majority of those who apply swearing allegiance to Peter Obi's candidacy, which is, of course, spreading like wildfire. Nigerians believe Obi's government will reduce waste and focus on servicing the nation's needs in the best interests of the people.

If the mood of the people is any indication, the APC and the PDP are in for a tough fight, as the LP's tactics appear to be working; our findings show that Nigerians are the structure if they simply vote. According to statistics, just roughly 40% of registered voters showed up to vote on election day.

Further analysis reveals that the 60% who do not vote on election day are Nigerians who are tired of the system but believe their vote does not count or due to a lack of credible alternatives.

Is Peter Obi breaking the jinx of a New Nigeria becoming a reality? Let's cross our fingers and see what happens in the coming weeks.

it's been broken

What structure are we talking about self if NNPP alien with Labour party is totally game over for APC And PDP nothing will make them win like this APC can never win in SE,SS is it PDP That will win LP IS TAKING OVER THIS REGION MADLY LIKE A WARLING FIRE!!

In Nigeria, the victory at the presidential polls is sum total of the effort of local political heavyweights in their wards and constituencies. That's structure. Does Labour Party or Peter Obi Campaign Organization has local political influencers all over Nigeria? Even the negative tendency of vote buying still require structure to accomplish.

Another major challenge facing Peter Obi is that he is the sole financier of his presidential bid. And presidential campaign sure requires massive funding with substantial leakages caused by people who would collect money without doing assigned task. Can Peter Obi open up his wallet wide when winning is not 100%?

Keep deceiving yourselves. Peter Obi will not get 25% in any northern state. He is unknown over there.

He is not known in Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo. No chance of him getting 25% in these SW states.

He wouldn't get 25% in Edo and Delta for sure. Oshiomole/Obaseki will secure Edo for APC/PDP. Okowa will secure Delta for PDP as he is on the ballot.

Obi cannot win any South South State. Udom will secure Akwa Ibom for PDP. Duoye Diri will do same in Bayelsa. Wike will probably join APC or at least remain in PDP. Cross Rivers will be split between 3 parties.

Under statement. He has break it. Before the end off this year, all you'll be hearing everywhere is Peter Obi.

Don't count your chicken before they hatch

Obi supporters are really making me laugh.

He is not going to win. Period. It's between atiku and tinubu and yes, i absolutely don't like that prospect

P.S Anyone calling me an Athiekwu and Tinubu supporter because I don't want to vote for your obi...you are mistaken. I am not voting for any one of those three men. They are part of the mess we find ourselves in, and that also includes all our leaders from 1999 to date.

Tinubu won't make first runner up.Thank.me for the expo

It would be good if Tinubu loses.

It would be better if Nigerians vote out obi, atiku and tinubu and buhari and pdp and apc and lp and nnpp them. And bring in new parties.

But sadly Nigerians don't want good governance. They want the Party of which obi and atiku and tinubu and buhari are in. So that chop.money is secured.

Peter Obi is taking Rivers State.

Peter Obi cannot have 4million votes in the entire country. His popularity starts and ends on social media.

Tinubu
Atiku
Kwankwanso


Obi

A larger % of Nigerian youths are ready to "waste their votes" on a structureless Party.

What have the parties with crazy structures done to improve Nigeria since 1999?

The new slogan now is "Win or lose, We are ready to waste our votes on Obi

I still hope he finds a good northerner to Team up with to increase his chances.

after much noise

Power to the people
PDP!!

E sure .

North 2023

the fact is Peter Obi is going nowhere..

2023 is strictly between two failures, Nigeria's redemption is not in sight.

Majority of Nigerians love their chains

Normal normal na Obi suppose win this election

The fact that some dull brain morron on the internet thinks Pandora of Loser Party LP has a chance makes me laugh...

Nairaland has at best 2 million Nigerian user,

Twitter has 3 million active users in Nigeria

Let's say Pandora untrained internet e bandits managed to force every internet user to vote the lair scammer Obi this is 5 million vote and the 2015. 2019 winning vote stands at 15million votes

Politics is like Mathematics equation...

You can't shout your way and bully a maths equation till you get solution

You cants get maths solution on Google or YouTube

You must get the right formula, practice over time before you get the solution



.

Recently, 80% of nairaland content is all about PO

Isn't God wandafu?

You people should keep deceiving yourself, you will all come back to reality in February.

No state governor, no senator, no house of rep member and you want to win national election just like that?

I am laughing at your delusions

After we finish voting and we see results that's when we would know because right now I don't trust all those people from social media country that dont have voters card

Certainly on his way there. There is always a first timer.

Ok

Tinubu remains my man but Obi is seriously wooing me

Who structure help?

Peter Obi is a movement

Absolutely!
