Obi's Vict: How Ethnic Politics Will Destroy BAT & Atiku's Presidential Ambition by Vote4Obi: 11:04am On Nov 02, 2022
BAT has been campaigning with ethnic sentiments, from using tribal phrases 279 other ethnic groups in Nigeria do not understand to ethnic slurs targeting his perceived opponents. Tinubu has been using divisive rhetorics and even encourages his cronies and supporters to do likewise. Recently, Tinubu lobbied a former leader of Afenifere to endorse him on behalf of the group even when the current leader already endorsed Peter Obi. Tinubu felt entitled based on ethnocentric views.

Atiku had earlier claimed to be a unifier even without backing such claims with any evidence except marrying wives from other ethnic. One would have expected a so-called unifier to promote unity but unfortunately, his actions have been the exact opposite. Aside causing divisions within his own party, Atiku went to Kaduna and shocked Nigerians when he said North does not need Yoruba or Igbo president but only Northern president.

While Tinubu is frantically trying to rally Yorubas to support him, Atiku is also doing the same with Muslim Northerners. Even though Tinubu erroneously believe he can pull it off since he belongs to the ruling party and has about 22 governors as members of APC, he has failed to understand that Northern Muslims are loyal to their region & religion before party consideration. In 2015, Jonathan learnt the hard way when PDP governors, ministers and others from NW & NE campaigned and voted against him in support of Buhari who was in the opposition. A repeat of 2015 is already glaring. APC supporters in the Muslim North are defecting en mass to PDP. Even some APC chairmen there are being accused of supporting Atiku. Also, while APC billboards in Kano are being destroyed, several rallies planned for Tinubu in this zone keeps failing due to sabotage.

While Tinubu and Atiku are busy using ethnic & religious sentiments to rally supporters, Obi has remained nationalistic in his approach. Peter Obi has asked Nigerians to vote for him not because he is Igbo or Christian, but simply because he is the most competent.

From the way things are currently going, Tinubu will end up winning his region SW while Atiku will win in the Muslim North. Unfortunately for them, such wins won't be enough to propel them to Aso rock. However, Peter Nationalistic approach will see him win SE and SS landslide. Peter Obi will also win the Middle belt and Christian North as well as Nigerians from other religions and ethnicities who are not ethnic bigots or religious fanatics.

So, as Tinubu and Atiku continue in their destructive campaign methods, Obi will either win a first ballot or force either Atiku or Tinubu to a runoff.

I am very excited grin

The possibility of a clean Nigerian without a link to the criminal cabals wrecking this country winning the elections in 2023.

This will be a refreshing restart to a new Nigeria.

A new Nigeria is possible.

Vote for Peter Obi and Yusuf Baba Datti Ahmed.

We cannot go wrong with this pair.

Rewind back to 2020, most Obi supporters were calling Nigeria a zoo. 20222 came, all over a sudden Nigeria is a country and the are best citizens. Anyone that does not agree with thier choice, is a bigot and tribalist. From name calling the country to the best citizens
