Only God knows how much have exchanged hands to this delegates that put the fear of God in Obi.

When you see how much an opponent has dropped in a place where you only went to smile, the best thing for you is to run.

Your analysis are so accurate. Obi has simply goofed. Full stop
Penguin2:
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.

before Obi left, If PDP were to win, at best, i.e via a miracle they would win by 55%-45%....thats like a landslide which was never going to happen! However by leaving and contesting under another party, Obi has removed his supporter's votes from the PDP column as they will vote for him in the new party.... since Obi's resignation has no effect on APC votes and PDP and OBi's new party will have to share the 55% the net result is canibalise PDP votes and to hand victory to APC.

Hmm miscalculation truelly. He knew he cant win or given the slot. No structure. But i sense kwakwanso might promise him vp slot under NNPP
Re: Resignation From PDP: Has Peter Obi Miscalculated? by chineduuu3(m): 8:15pm On May 25, 2022
No. He did not miscalculate. I see Peter Obi joining a new political party. The said party will eventually merge with other regional political parties to present a united front with Obi as their Presidential candidate and then a popular politician from the North as VP. Don't forget that APC in 2014 was a new party, presented Mr. Calamity as their Presidential candidate and they won that election to the surprise and shock of many Nigerians.

We are not after Vic presidential anything. Atiku that is likely to be their flag bearer is not better than Obi,so why should he be rooting for vic?

I don't think he miscalculated, it was obvious the pdp was hellbent on choosing a candidate of nothern extraction to counter that of the apc, wherever he goes his supporters will folly him, he stands a better chance at kwakwanso's party.

You are not making sense

Was Wike interested in VP OF PDP IN 2019 ? No he was interested in getting re-elected. Now his eye is in national politics. He has the money to bargain, his region can give more votes to Atiku if he is selected as VP. South east IPOB and voter apathy is discouraging Atiku from giving Obi VP. Many factors come into place.


You can be naive all you want.


When wise people were telling Igbo people to dump PDP you people refused. Umahi had sense and saw it coming .



1999 till now 23 years of servitude no Presidency or VP

Please stop mentioning wike, as if wike can win election outside Rivers state, with all the money he pump into 2019 primary, is it just for support or to become VP? Atiku can never give him VP, his too toxic, and he lacks everything a VP or president should have.

As it stands now in Nigeria Obi is a force to reckon with the youths are aligning with him, mind you he left governance since ten year or more and still relevant,. Obi might not win this forthcoming presidential election, hear this, he would be definitely making a huge impact to his political career and popularity.

Please where is Umahi today With all his senses? How many people is even talking about him?

They will still lose woefully. presidential election is more of structures rather than only candidate.

Where will they get the structure?

I kept saying this on tweeter, but instead I got bashing

Despite Buhari popularity he couldn't win election on his own, Buhari is by far popular than Pandora, Buhari went ahead and created a party that has no structure in 2011 which is CPC and he came as a distant runner up with 12 million votes against a seating president. Peter Obi will never achieve that

My battery is weak else I will school you on the possibilities staring all of us in the face.

If the electoral act had permitted, independent candidature, you would have told me that the phenomenon of independent candidates winning elections is alien.

Nigeria of today is a polarized society... anything is possible.

Stop living in the past...

Well well I will engage you when next your batter is full.

But know that for any candidate to win a presidential election, he need structures. That was why Buhari only won when he got Tinubu structure to invade the region he always lost in.

Simple as ABC.
Re: Resignation From PDP: Has Peter Obi Miscalculated? by edungene7: 8:24pm On May 25, 2022
Obi is very intelligent he is obviously joining force with a party that would offer him a better opportunity PDP is presently more confused than ever Wike with a sense of entitlement believing he sponsored the party with is money while Atiku is the money bag who can buy delegates, obi stands no chance in the primaries but he remains the most credible candidate a fresh mega force has offered him something better because they know he is got some reasonable amount of Nigerians behind him it would be foolishness to end in the primaries when you have the opportunity of flying a flag with another party APC was a new party in 2015 when they took over from PDP 2023 might be another shocker except if APC is fielding GEJ but as for PDP is a final burial

A man who refuses to own 3 pairs of shoes or buy a car for his 30yr old son is not likely to want to pay $10,000 per delegate that likely wont vote for him. I think when it came to paying for delegates, the reality that he isnt going to win dawned on him and Obi is not for wasting money!!

.........of course he didnt mind when it was Atiku paying for delegates.

When it comes to politics, I think Igbos do not have the liver to compete. What is the worst that can happen? Lose election? Would you be the first or the last person to lose election?
Look at SW. The maturity is such that Father and son will compete against each other. Husband and wife will support different candidates and they will still sleep and eat under the same roof.

Let him join any party...all l know he has my vote.
But if he join any party let them merge with kwankaso of NNPP,so that they can an intimidation.
Nigeria is not forsale, so delegate/some selfish politician should not determine who should rule this country....

How many vote did Atiku got in the last election from the north east or North west...did people voted for Atiku because Atiku is contesting? It because of PDP! The south South came out in mass to vote PDP not Atiku because they are tired of APC not for Atiku. If we can vote obi because of his personality regardless of party affiliation, this will be the turning point in Nigeria politics

We, the youth should support a better candidate that has the country at heart. The difference between Dubai and Nigeria is good leader,we need to get it right come 2023
