The events of the recent past especially since the inauguration of Tinubu as President and the manner of reactions by Labour Party and Peter Obi to these events have left many questions in my heart and indeed in the heart of many rational Obidients who really see things from the perspective of national interest rather than hatred and love for one’s candidate and what have you. Such questions are as follows; 1. How Labour Party and Peter Obi led FG would have been, had they won the Presidential election? 2. Is LP really different from PDP and APC or better still, is Peter Obi really different from other conventional politicians? 3. What new is/would LP/PO bring(ing) to the table as a viable alternative opposition to PDP against the APC led Federal Government?
Almost all the Presidential candidates promised to remove fuel subsidy if voted into office. In fact Peter Obi(my candidate) promised to remove subsidy from his first day in office i.e 29th May which chiefly accounted for my vote for him among other reasons. Fortunately enough, President Tinubu(who I vigorously campaigned against) removed it on his first day in office which now dares me to him(I just hope he does not bow to the subsequent pressures from all sides to counter this lofty move). However and unfortunately, Peter Obi’s relatively negative reaction to this decision speaks more of politics or political hypocrisy than national interest. When he was asked about his reaction to the decision, he said thus “…it’s not all about removing subsidy, it’s more about putting measures in place to cushion the effects of subsidy removal”. Now the question is; how could he have put the so-called measures in place before removal on the first day as he promised? Or could he have postponed the removal as against his promise in order to consult or put out the measures? I know for sure that most gullible Obidients would attempt to provide flimsy answers to these questions just to defend/protect him but no matter how hard they try, it does not change the obvious hypocrisy.
Secondly, when some Labour Party members-elect attempted to express their personal opinions out of their own personal convictions about NASS leadership elections as well as other issues, the party’s response or reaction was that of rebuttal and bully which no doubt implied interference and imposition of party principles on its members. This imposition and meddlesomeness you will agree with me LP has constantly accused APC of in respect to NASS leadership elections. With the flimsy excuse that “party is supreme “ a mantra PDP used overtime to perpetrate impunity and have used same to impose Atiku Abubakar on the party(PDP) as its Presidential candidate against majority of interests/considerations as well as equity, fairness and justice which undoubtedly and hugely contributed to their defeat/failure and which by extension Peter Obi himself exploited/harvested against the party, is now LP’s mantra(party is supreme). Now if party is supreme, what moral or political justification does LP has to accuse APC of trying to impose their candidates on the NASS leadership and in bullying their Members-elect as well as conniving with PDP & other minority parties to vote a particular candidate? The simple question again remains; how is LP different from PDP and APC? Maybe LP should be reminded that that “party is supreme” mantra is undemocratic and breeds impunity and corruption. They should not be seen to be playing to the gallery owing to the notion most politically sane minded Nigerians hold about them.
Again, permit me to ask, to whose interest and benefit is LP’s connivance with PDP and other minority parties to support the candidacy of Senator Abdullaziz Yari(a Muslim) against APC’s balanced choice of Senator Godswill Akpabio(a Christian) knowing fully well that the emergence of Muslim Yari and perhaps Muslim Speaker would lend more credence to Muslim dominance in almost all the important positions in this country? Whatever be the immediate interest of LP for this injurious political scheming, they should be reminded that it stands against national interest. Therefore, they should look beyond parochial interests and have a rethink. Else, It will definitely live to hunt them in the short or long run.
Furthermore, most appalling of all, is the reaction of Labour Party to the most recent arrest and pending prosecution of Mr. Godwin Emefiele(former CBN Governor). The party through its National Publicity Secretary Mr. Obiora Ifoh, dismissed the arrest, declaring it ‘unconstitutional’ and ‘a punishment against Emefiele’. It said that the President ought to have sought NASS approval before the arrest. Now I’m like… what a party! Is this how Peter Obi and LP would have represented my interest and indeed the interests of the majority of poor Nigerians? Haba now!!! This is the height of bad politics honestly speaking. So if Peter Obi/LP had won the election, this is how they would have handled a corruption case as serious and weighty as this, I mean with kid’s glove? No no no. I’m forced to say we truly dodged a bullet and I’m forced to withdraw my support for PO/LP for now. A move even some PDP members and most right and positive thinking elite members of the opposition parties have unanimously applauded. LP no no. You’re more than this.
From the stench of fart they say, one can decipher the taste of faeces. With the recent happenings and the the subsequent reactions, actions as well as decisions of LP and Peter Obi, as enumerated above, there is no gain saying the obvious fact that the party and indeed Peter Obi are no different from PDP and APC and are directly opposite of what they stood, preached and campaigned for and against. Otherwise, how could they justify their opposition to the arrest of Emefiele? On whatever grounds or guise? A notorious criminal who even Sen. Shehu Sani described as “an ATM of Buhari’s cabal”. Do they ever consider the allegations against him? Do they ever consider what that evil man did to our economy? Albeit, LP/Peter Obi’s support for Emefiele’s currency redesign policy stemmed from the fact that they simply wanted to benefit from or harvest it to come to power. Of course this is quite understandable enough(although I did not support it). But their subsequent opposition to his arrest is what I find quite difficult to comprehend. It really beats my wildest imaginations. What do they actually stand to benefit if not politics at the detriment of poor masses(even the rich was not spared)? It’s simply the height of insensitivity to the plight of poor Nigerians. There is no other justification to it. It’s as simple as that. How else do I define hypocrisy?
Again, how could they(LP/PO) Justify their connivance with PDP and other parties to support Yari for Senate President while the President himself, Vice, CJN and perhaps the Speaker are all Muslims? Whatever guise, interest or motive that drives this move and support, is largely hypocritical, condemnable and unacceptable. Should they succeed, what confidence and justification would they now have to criticize the government on religious balance?
Conclusively, Labour Party and Peter Obi should please play better opposition for/politics of national interest rather than playing to the gallery and hub-nobbing with the greedy PDP. They should take Ayo Fayose’s advice of avoiding PDP as a plague. Else they are heading for an unknown and disastrous destination as PDP would try to explore and exploit them for their greed. What LP and Peter Obi does not know is the fact that they are losing in droves, the support of the right thinking supporters/individuals/members who are disgusted and disenchanted by their politically motivated actions and decisions so far at the expense of overall national interest. They should try to tone down on some political schemings and utterances that would DEFINITELY amount to their political albatross in the short or long run. They should just tread carefully with caution and run an issue based opposition politics.
For now, I’m ok with most(not all) of the moves of President Tinubu. He seem to have started on a good footing contrary to my expectations and notions about him. No sentiments attached. I’m only moved by national interest and good governance. Nothing less. And anyone I see tilting towards that angle earns my support and respect. No hating. For now, I’ll keep supporting, praying for him and hoping that he maintains and surpasses the tempo. Let him disappoint my previous notions about him. However, I’ll never hesitate to criticize him each time I see him drifting away from good governance. Of course, I supported President Buhari in 2015 because he promised me changes but when it became obvious that the change I sought and voted for was a mirage and just the opposite, I withdrew; hence my support for Peter Obi(although I’m becoming skeptical about him).
To my fellow Obidients, please and please again, take this advice from me. Our patriotism shouldn’t end with the perceived ‘defeat’ of our candidate. No. There’s always next time. And it must not be one person. Most credible candidates are not even yet born and they abound. This is our country and it’s bigger than one individual, ethnic group, religion or interest. Drop loathing and hating and let nothing becloud our sense of rational reasoning, sound judgment and thinking. Above all, let’s not always preempt God’s mind or will or rather let’s not force our will on God. No. God’s ways and will are most times in contrast with ours and we cannot help Him or be seen to be helping Him to actualize His will. That’s why He’s God. You cannot search Him all. He does all things according to His will and time.
May God bless you and give you the patriotic spirit and mindset even as you read through. Amen.
God bless Nigeria!!!

I was emilokan supporter before but now I support Obi and labor because from what I see Tinubu is like buhari or even worse ie if you want to predict what will happen next play video of buhari years and see it happening all over again . Tinubu will take months to appoint ministers and it will still be old expired politicians like buhari did and not technocrats and they can’t move Nigeria forward

Even with the obvious lies, I tried to stay through until this recent events especially of Emefiele’s arrest. Oh my goodness! How does it sound to the ears to hear that Labour Party of all, not even PDP kicked against it? If they had suggested like others are saying that not only Emefiele but Buhari and other cabals should be arrested too. I would’ve been proud of them. Instead they said the President should have sought the NASS approval before the arrest. Haba. No naah. It’s simply politics and it’s a very bad one at that. I’ve got to dissociate myself from Labour Party. And the worst is that Peter Obi is mute about all these statements suggesting his support. To hell with him and LP joor

My own ‘Igboness’ is not even from the SS. I’m from Imo State. I was born and bred in Osha city. I schooled in Osha city up to secondary and then went to University of Nigeria Nsukka(UNN). I’m identified by my Igbo name. So you can see everything about me is Igbo. In fact the first time I left or had to leave Igboland(Onitsha) was during my NYSC years in Sokoto in 2017. Thereafter, I relocated to Lagos in early 2018. Like my father would always say, conscience is like an open wound, only truth can heal it. I don’t really have to preak my conscience by being skewed, irrational and bigoted simply because I’m Igbo. I try to see, reason and understand things from realistic, rational and balance point of view. Although it’s not been easy for me. You know what it mean to take a rational but uncommon posture in the midst of popular bigoted opinions and views. It’s like appearing wise in the midst of fool. As a matter of fact, I’ve been constantly insulted(even assaulted at some point), bullied, called all sort of names, stigmatized and even threatened in this respect. I mean it’s been a horrible experience all along. However, the truth is that I’ve come a very long way in rationalism. It’s already too late for me to join the bandwagon.

It will be a great disservice to Christians my brother. They’re only smart by half. Our elders say, “he who spits up only spits on himself.” We’re simply the architects of our own misfortune. Can they even learn? Even in the face of Elrufai’s brazen bigoted utterances, yet LP who’s supposed to stand for Christian Senate President at least, is here playing politics. I’ll be waiting for them shout marginalization.
Funny enough, they’re saying they’re only interested Presidecy thinking they can get it without being in the mainstream. Nonsense and ingredients!!!

What a beautiful piece you put up there. I never believed in the "saint Obi" mantra from day one, when people talk about Obi, I beg to wonder whether he is not a typical Nigerian politician. I supported Buhari with all my being in 2014, as at 2017, I was already a wailer. I never made the mistake this time around. I took my time to study each candidate before finally settling for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I saw him as the best among the rest and adequately prepared for the job. In just few days we have seen his proactive approach to governance and the few gains.

To the christians who were fooled by Obi, I just pity them....

My dear
The truth is that I love Obi but the level of his political ineptitude surprises me. I can even play better. He’s failed to understand that majority of his supporters are myopic and are cheering him to political oblivion because of intolerance. And he seem to be patronizing them too much. He’s too emotional to/with them. He’s failed to carefully and smartly utilize and consolidate on his sudden political popularity which came on a platter(because he did not labour for it to compare the likes Of Tinubu and Atiku) by building bridges across devides. Now Yorubas and Hausas have “demystified” him as a religious and ethnic bigot. So marketing Obi and LP to them now would be as difficult as marketing Tinubu, Buhari and APC to the Southeast. How then can he win presidency without their support? Obi allowed myopic Obidients to relegate him to a local champion as far as future presidential elections are concerned. He’s done more damage to his future chances than good due to lack of forward thinking and vision. His Vice even added to the injuries with his unguarded and misguided utterances during the pre-inauguration crisis with their desperation to scuttle the inauguration by all means. I do not know why a vice presidential candidate of his caliber who himself was a product of a rigged senatorial election in Kaduna, could be that myopic to tell the President and Cheif Justice not to swear in an elected President. It’s really the height of desperation. No matter the grievances, your case is already in court, why not wait for court to decide? After all when he rigged his own Kaduna senatorial election against Makarfi, Makarfi never called for him not to be inaugurated. He even enjoyed it for over 2years. They really made a mess of themselves. I never expected them to stoop to that level of desperation. They even surpassed Atiku and PDP I thought would have been at the forefront for that desperation. They should simply learn how to manage failure. I even expected Obi among other things to caution and call everyone to order. I don’t even want to talk about the level of disservice our so-called prophets and men of God did to Obi. Of course you’ll agree with that they boosted his morale and that of gullible Obidients with their ‘fake’ prophecies which blew them up(Obi & Obidients) in acting silly just to achieve the prophecies. I’m tempted to say that they forced Obi and LP as the will of God on most gullible Obidients. I voted Obi neither because of these prophecies nor because Obi was able to convince me with his manipulative theoretical economic or rather mathematical figures which he believe he has in solving Nigeria’s problem which did not amount to anything in his 8years governorship in Anambra state. I voted Obi just because I saw him as a lesser evil among the major candidates. However, I’ve become skeptical about him. After all, he’s not really who we thought he’s.

Epistasis:
What a beautiful piece you put up there. I never believed in the "saint Obi" mantra from day one, when people talk about Obi, I beg to wonder whether he is not a typical Nigerian politician. I supported Buhari with all my being in 2014, as at 2017, I was already a wailer. I never made the mistake this time around. I took my time to study each candidate before finally settling for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I saw him as the best among the rest and adequately prepared for the job. In just few days we have seen his proactive approach to governance and the few gains.

To the christians who were fooled by Obi, I just pity them....

Yes I pity them. But it’s not entirely their fault. While I blame Obi who explored Buhari’s maladministration and harvested the anger and frustration of Nigerians to sell himself with religious and ethnic bigotry, our so-called prophets and men on the pulpit who dished out fake prophecies of all sorts are not left out. They really inseminated and watered a negative seed of hate and unhealthy religious rivalry and intolerance that would take a century of not forever to destroy.

Who told you I’m not Igbo? Abum onye Igbo full time. I’m from Imo state. My parents are Igbo too(from Imo too). I was born and bred in Onitsha. Nwa otu nkwo kambu. I mean otu Onitsha ado. But most importantly, I’m a Nigerian. I must not be Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo or South South for me to be reasonable. I mean I’m a free rational thinker. I’m not bigoted. You get the point now?

Yes. But I'm shocked.

LP followers keep saying they are taking power from the cabals, what they wanted to do in real sense is take power from established cabals to lesser cabals which will become established cabals in the shortest period of time.
