A friend, Pat Madueke, argued:
1. no one region of Nigeria has veto power on our presidential election outcomes.
2. There can be a miracle, so, we should not rule out Obi becoming the president.
Our take.
Miracles, Vetos?
Numbers are it.
We in Politika believe in numbers and not miracles when it is election and in Nigeria. The numbers, Nigeria’s case especially, come by anyhow- legit and / or otherwise.
Anyhow the numbers come, we announce and declare winners based on whose, amongst the contestants, wins.
We just had the same and it gave us Bola Tinubu and “ ThiefAtiku”. Miracles and prayers did not give us any of the two.
If anything, numbers money bought gave each to us.
Peter Obi – next president of Nigeria.
We, Nigeria’s voters, can always refuse to take a bad pill. APC is a bad pill. “ThiefAtiku” is a bad poison.
A protest vote – rejecting the knowns, would likely give us the numbers that can make our home-boy, Peter, Peter Obi, next president of Nigeria.
We (Politika) shall therefore do our best to campaign for Nwanna, Peter Obi, and hope we shall, by pen work, convince voters to try a different pill, Motrin, this time since our headaches have remained same or worse with our taking APC for 7 years.
“ThiefAtiku”?
If prayers work, the only time Politika would use it in this regard would be in begging Gods and Satan to make “ThiefAtiku” begin preps for his 7th run after losing again this time now.
A man, an expert in selling our things to his self (OBJ allegedly believes), would be selling SS and SE to his self when and if he becomes president. He said he will.
This piece is long. Will keep the end of the beginning here.
Next: We shall discuss Utopianism and fate in Jesu – how they are not very reliable in a game of numbers.
We shall discuss 1967 coalition that relives even now.
Biafra on my mind.
End of part 1.
