Resignation From PDP: Has Peter Obi Miscalculated? by Penguin2: 6:19pm On May 25, 2022 |
Having seen the resignation letter of Peter Obi from PDP which confirmed his exit from the party and withdrawal from the party’s presidential race, I’m tempted to question the rationale behind that decision. I’m an ardent supporter of Peter Obi but I think that if he has truly resigned from the PDP, then he has goofed; it’s a complete faux pax for him. Because I do not see any other platform that can possibly grant him victory in the general election. Remaining in PDP would have guaranteed either the presidential ticket or vice presidential ticket which would have brought him closer to the presidency. As we wait to confirm if this is fake or true, and to know Obi’s next move, I make bold to say that this decision, if confirmed, was a miscalculation. 90 Likes 3 Shares

He is probably going to NNPP. What I now don't know is who will be the VP or Presidential candidate between him and Kwakwanso. If Kwakwanso will be the Presidential candidate & Obi VP; Then Obi is a big fool because he would have had more chance with being VP to Atiku in PDP. If Obi will be the presidential candidate and Kwakwanso the VP; Then I like that even tho they will still lose the election. But at least he made a statement. Only that the Kwakwanso I know will not be VP to Obi Pandora. 498 Likes 15 Shares

The thing there is......obi didn't miscalculate. Something must be behind it For when you stood afar watching group of people dancing to a music but you can't hear the sound of the music as a result of Doppler effect, you do say....... those inebriated ass are stupid.

Sergio104: Nope. If you read the content of the letter, he said to PDP that "My commitment to rescuing Nigeria remain firm, even if the route differs". That means he might use another route (party). 400 Likes 5 Shares |

Sergio104: I am talking about general election. How do you convince people in the remote part of Oyo to vote NNPP? What structure does NNPP have in those areas to inform voters and what incentive is there to push them to thumb-print? Most of those voters that vote usually do that for parties. Because they have people right there in that locality holding sway since God knows when. So beside the notoriety of candidate in the city/social media, they need that party to be recognized in rural areas. NNPP don't have that. That is exactly why error votes from party with name identical with PDP/APC are more than the combined vote of the third force parties in the last election. Bro, twitter is different from real election. 480 Likes 16 Shares |

No. Obi did not miss calculate. A lot of work has gone into this. By the Grace of God, Obi will be the presidential candidate and Kwakwanso Vice in Kwakwanso's party. A political earthquake is about to happen in Nigeria 22 Likes 3 Shares |

He was never going to be the PDP flag bearer. That's what most twitter folks didn't/don't get. And his supporters have been clashing with people with opposite view online. Him contesting on another platform will make his loss, if he loses, less embarrassing. I still think the odds are highly against him when everything is put into consideration 12 Likes |

Leaving PDP was the only way to avoid embarrassment. Head or tail, he’s never going to be president or VP so why waste time, money and endure an embarrassing defeat on a venture that is bound to fail? 497 Likes 7 Shares |
