Can OBI Win On First Ballot? by obailala(m): 5:10pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
Firstly, this thread is strictly for OBIDIENTS; but BATists and ATIKUlators are welcome to pour in their bad energy (it's a free world). The presidential election is in a few weeks and from my personal analysis, while it's looking bright that the LP may win the highest number of votes nationwide, it doesn't seem like it can pull 25% of votes in 24 states (I may be wrong). A run-off would be a disaster for the OBIDIENT movement cos I foresee supporters of PDAPC (two parties with similar lootocratic ideologies) teaming up to punish OBI in a run-off. So the big questions are: 1. Can OBI pull 25% of votes in up to 24 states? 2. What states can OBI pull 25% of votes? 3. What additional states can more work be done to tilt the scale? 3 Likes

From my analysis, these are the states OBI is VERY SURE to hit 25% (and even more): 1. Anambra 2. Abia 3. Ebonyi 4. Enugu 5. Imo 6. Akwa-Ibom 7. Cross-Rivers 8. Rivers 9. Bayelsa 10. Delta 11. Edo 12. Lagos 13. Benue 14. Plateau These are the additional states OBI is LIKELY to win 25%: 15. Nasarawa 16. Kaduna 17. Taraba 18. Ogun 19. Oyo 20. Ondo 21. Osun 22. Ekiti In total, these are 22 states I think OBI is likely or sure of winning ≥25%.... The remaining 14 states are up for grabs and OBI still needs about 2 states in the bag. Which of these 14 states can additionally be added to the bag? Kogi - Kwara - Niger - Adamawa - Bauchi - Borno - Gombe - Yobe - Jigawa - Kano - Katsina - Kebbi - Sokoto - Zamfara 8 Likes |

If Obi doesn't win on the first ballot, a runoff will be hard for him to win because the other two major candidates are more popular than him in the north. I want to see Nigeria's presidential election end in a runoff someday. I want to have a first-hand experience. |

Obi can pull 25% in Kano and Gombe states. He is just one step closer to victory. He will also most likely score the highest votes cast 10 Likes 2 Shares |

SmartPolician:A runoff would be a disaster for OBI cos the larger percentage of PDP/APC supporters are people who actually dislike OBI (either for his tribe or just for his audacity to challenge the system). In a runoff, these people would gladly vote 'anything but OBI'. 5 Likes |

Obi will get that with ease. He will win the South-south and East which is 11 states. He will get 25% in the 6 Western States. I repeat he will get 25% in all the Southwest states and that brings it up to 17 states. Now add the following states: Plateau, Benue, Nassarawa, Kogi, Niger and Kwara. You may be surprised I added Niger and Kwara. Tinubu will win Kwara but Obi will get 25%. Anybody can bet 50k on this with me. As for Niger state, the Christians there are solidly behind him. I am so sure of what I am saying. Most people don't know that there are about 35% to 40% Christians in Niger state. That is why the Christians there have vowed that any political party that failed to have a Christian deputy will lose the next governorship election. Now add the 17 states of the South and 6 states of the North Central and it will give you 23 states. Now add Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe and Kaduna. That is a total of 27 states. Bookmark this post for future reference. Obi is the next president of Nigeria. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

BeardedmeatR:I'm not really sure of the mix in Gombe, but 25% from Kano? LP votes from Kano would most likely be ethnic; i.e. from Igbos living in Kano. Can this really make up to 25% of votes in Kano? |

Re: Can OBI Win On First Ballot? by Waterysperm: 5:52pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
BlazinGlory40:I am so sure Bro. I want any dissenting voice from the other side to bet with me on that. Now let me tell you this, due to this fuel scarcity and naira redesign, Obi's popularity is now growing like wildfire especially in the Northwestern part of the Country. What if I tell you that Obi may get 25% in Kano state and Katsina. Mind you, I used 'may' because I am not so sure. But I am ready to stake 50k with anybody ready to bet with me that there is a state in the Southwest that Obi won't get 25%. I don't make hearsay permutations Bro. So if Obi gets 25% in the Southern part of the country, is it ordinary 7 states in the north that he won't get 25%. I am in the field ok. Now let me burst your bubble and remember that I said so. Obi MAY win Kogi state. The state is between him and Tinubu. Any Atiku fan can stake with me on that, Obi will do better than Atiku in Kogi. 3 Likes |

obailala:That Obi has 25% in even 36 states doesn't mean he also has the highest votes. Another party could have the highest votes and therefore the winner. |
Re: Can OBI Win On First Ballot? by obailala(m): 6:11pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
RenaissanceGuy:Yeah of course a candidate can win 25% in all 36 states but still not have the highest number of votes, but that isnt the case for OBI in the coming elections. With the way things stand now, as long as none of the other 3 top contenders gives up and pulls out of the race before the 25th of February, OBI is already projected to have the highest number of votes with just the first 14 states I listed there. 4 Likes |

obailala: From all I've seen it is tough but POssible. A run-off would be far from a disaster especially if he wins the popular vote on the first ballot. It's very hard to gauge how the other parties and even the general population would react to that. There could be a sentiment that he deserves it, even in unexpected regions 2 Likes

Re: Can OBI Win On First Ballot? by lovewins: 6:54pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
obailala: I really do think Obi should revisit the South East and the South South states again. The strategy shouldn't just be getting 25% in 24 states (which isn't very likely) it should also include ensuring the opposition do not get the required 25% in states that should traditionally be Obi's stronghold. It will be disappointing if any of Atiku gets 25% in any of the south eastern states. Efforts should also be intensified to ensure Obi gains more ground in the south especially in states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Bayelsa. Even if Obi doesn't win ok first ballot, efforts should be made to ensure he makes second ballot (only the top 2 candidates will qualify). The sheer possiblity of Peter Obi making it to the last round will further inspire more people to come out enmass to vote. It will make people realize their votes count. I believe Obi should make 25% in Ogun and Nasarawa and Taraba. Ogun has major cities like Abeokuta, Ota, Ijebu with a significant young and literate voting population who should swing Obi. Major Abuja folks living in Nasarawa with the significant Christian population should be enough to get him 25%. Taraba is majority Christian, Obi should also hit 25% here. I worry more about the South East and South South. Of course he will get the 25% here, but should the opposition gain significant inroad here, it's game over. 10 Likes |

kettykin: Obi won't get 25% in Kano. Just not possible. Kano had over 2.1 million total vote in 2015, this year should be significantly more. But let's assume 2 million people vote, 25% will be 500k votes for Obi. Just do not see that happening. We should focus on states where this is possible like Kaduna, Kebbi, Taraba etc. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Can OBI Win On First Ballot? by obailala(m): 7:19pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
wegevv: lovewins:From current projections, if OBI doesn't win on first ballot, it's almost certainly game-over! The key reason OBI has a high chance today is because the votes in the north are shared by the other 3 top contenders. If there's a run-off, northern votes would no longer be shared. If the run-off is between OBI and Tinubu, you'd agree with me that whilst the majority of the northern PDP voters may not necessarily like Tinubu, most would gravitate towards a Tinubu over an OBI (largely due to tribal / religious sentiments). Similarly, if the run-off is between OBI and Atiku, with the distasteful intertribal aggression between the SE and SW, would OBI really be able to inherit Tinubu's south western votes? Would current APC supporters in the SW pick an OBI over an Atiku in a run-off? However the case goes, I don't think a run-off will favour OBI. Whilst its important that OBI consolidates his votes in his strongholds, it's also imperative that he wins the election on first ballot. 4 Likes |
