Politics is a game of number. In every ideal political situation, majority carries the vote. This means that the person with the highest number of followers takes the day.

To achieve a large following, political parties often front candidates that would be accepted by majority of the people. Anytime a political party presents an unpopular candidate, the party stands to lose to a party with the right candidate. Such candidate is often referred to as marketable candidate.

Truth is, it is not every candidate that is marketable. Electorates consider many factors before they settle for a particular candidate including its marketability. They look at the capacity of the person, his experience, his opinions on certain issues and his manifesto.

In Nsit Ubium state constituency, the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) have given ticket to Barr. Otobong Bob who has been adjudged a marketable political product. In other words, Barr. Otobong Bob is a sure bet for victory for the Peoples Democratic Party. He has a large following, has the capacity to offer effective representation and also has the experience.

Above all, he is so much exposed to political trends in other civilised societies having studied outside the shores of this country and interacted with many capacity builders.

This, however explains why he was widely accepted by the people of Nsit Ubium during the PDP nomination exercise.

The society needs more of Barr. Otobong Bob for resounding victory to be recorded in the party at all levels. This is so because only marketable products move the market.

Keep supporting the Peoples Democratic Party, keep supporting good governance, keep supporting Barr. Otobong Bob.
