The argument has been that one of the greatest challenges before Obi presidential ambition, is the fact that the Political Party he represents, The Labour Party, has no formidable political structure within the Nigerian political Strata from ‘Toff to Bottum’.
From records available since the inception of a ceaseless Democratic practice in Nigeria especially the Presidency, the personality of a candidate is not enough to win him the poll nor his level of competency, oratory skills etc but the Party. A good example is the Analogy of PDP who held power since 1999 not until 2015 when the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) struck a merger and had a formidable structure before they could dismantle the PDP from ‘tuff to bottum’. but even at that, the PDP has remained a formidable opposition giving the APC a close marking at all times because of the caliber of persons in the party so again, the personality of the candidate is not just a enough but the Political Party and the caliber of persons in the Party.
The above has been my position for days why Obi’s ambition can’t be Obidient to him.
But the above is not the Challenge!
No!!! It’s not.
THE PEOPLE ARE THE CHALLENGE
You and I are the challenges to a new and better Nigeria.
Peter Obi is not a Magician but from the current situation of the Country and the caliber of persons contesting with him, he is the best among all and we all know it within our mind but our history as a people and our reactions to choosing a leader to represent us has always been based on sentiments on tribe, religion and cohesion through material and monetary things.
Even away from Peter Obi;
When the People come together, they is no Government they cannot change but would they, when the people lack one voice?
When will the people vote for the right man for the job without being sentimental?
From the history before us from our elections, the people rarely defend their votes after casting into the ballot box.
On the day of election, the people vote for the highest bidder and the one who shares the highest sum of money
The people when voting do not vote for competency but for party logos and Kobos
The people are fickle minded and easily coerced to taking decisions that are not of their own.
The People only cares about their immediate interest and not that of the long run.
The people do not know the difference between their need and their want rather they miss it up and demand their wants while abandoning their needs which would be bought by Naira with Two heads that is not even better than one.
The people even though having a common problem and being fully aware of it and it’s common solution, proffer different solution knowing fully well that it would not work.
Religion has blinded the people so also has region, ethic group and tribe.
The people are deceitful
They are like a mob
When a real challenge beacons, they scamper and hide and if you think you are their messiah when you turn back, they had already deserted you.
The Challenges standing before a new Nigeria, are her people
The Challenge is me and you and until we change, We would never move forward.
