FORGET all the hypes from political prebendalists, if the election finally holds on the 25th of February, 2023, that is next Saturday, Peter Gregory Obi and Yusuf Datti Ahmed would have made history as the first government of the people, by the people and for the people to birth in this land of our fathers.
INEC results will show Peter Obi taking the lead over and above others by a simple majority. This will be made possible by the following empirical factors:
1. By his landslide victory in the South-East states with over 90 percent votes proclamation.
2, leading by an average of 60 percent clear majority in the South-South states.
3. Leading by 50 percent simple majority in the Middle Belt states.
4. Being second best in the South-West states but securing at least 25 percent of votes in Lagos and possibly one or two other South-West states.
5. Securing 25 percent in Kaduna, Borno and at least one other Arewa state.
6. Leaving Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso to fight to finish in North-East and North-West states. And with Tinubu being a clear leader in the South-West.
I, therefore, will call on all South-Easterners to go to the polls and do their son proud by posting a 90/95 percent landslide for Peter the Rock, Gregory Obi for posterity and to record a superlative finish for future historians. His campaign is the best of all. It is finito.
This victory will become the greatest gift to democracy coming most unexpectedly from no other person than President Muhammadu Buhari of all persons. It will be possible only because it is God that gives power.
God has remembered his suffering people of Nigeria and decided to put the enemies of the people and oppressors in confusion. Today the ruling Party, APC is fighting fratricidal internal battles.
Three camps have broken out in the house of the APC. The three camps will not let any one of them take victory. Now N25 Billion Asiwaju old Naira cash will rot away and possibly be burnt one day. That is the final denouement of the APC house of debacle. APC has been reduced to rubble. They cannot go to the election without sharing cash but that is what will happen. The mighty has indeed fallen.
As for Atiku and his fellow tribal hustlers in PDP, Nigerians will throw them into the garbage bins of history where they all belong. Presidency will not return to the Fulani, a minority tribe after 8 years of Fulani rule, where we have over three hundred tribes in the nation.
That is why the Northeast will patronize their sons Shettima and Atiku and share the votes accordingly. The North West will also similarly share their votes among the three Northern Muslim candidates. The North will not speak in one voice in this election. There will be no magic numbers allocated to one candidate. The votes will be shared among the two Northern candidates and with Tinubu and Obi having a piece of the cake also.
Peter Obi among the four is the only one taking votes from all the six zones due to the huge Christian population up North, a fact they’ll like to sweep under the carpet.
The cashless and Naira swap policy is indeed a game changer. This election will be about giving Nigerians their freedom.
Nigerians will be free at last after 25th February 2023.
