Naija, we don dey hear the gist of Peter Obi and him new waka join ADC. If you sabi wetin I dey talk, this speech wey him give no be small thing! People don dey compare am to late Chief Awolowo, talk say na one of the best gists wey any Nigerian don carry come. But make I yan you true, preparation no be everything for Naija politics.
See ehn, the Obidients, wey be the urban supporters of Obi, don start plenty gist wey dey sound like say ‘Obi or nothing’ for the ADC ticket. Na wetin? Na strategy to put pressure on Atiku and others or na serious wahala on top those wey dey party? Either way, e no go work! Na one kind faulty plan wey go fail, because the political ground no ready for person like Obi yet.
No doubt, Obi dey popular and sabi wetin dey happen for our wahala, but our politics get levels. APC wey dey run the show now get their own wahala, with President Tinubu wey no need introduction. Plus, make we no forget the Igbo matter wey dey always make people dey jaga jaga for this country.
My people, the North dey vex as e be since Jonathan carry their chance waka. Dem go still want balance am, even if dem don run matter under military government. This na in case the Obidients no sabi wetin dey happen; wetin go fit make Obi have chance na to shift the power arrangement. If dem wan make sense for 2031, Naija voters go need to fit negotiate well.
Abeg, na who go stop the APC wey dey hold power topo hand? As e be now, the elections dey pepper everybody, and e no go sweet to make Obi face Tinubu wey dey hold ground as president, especially when dem fit manipulate everything wey get in his favour.
See, this waka wey Obidients carry come dey show say dem still dey green! No be fight we go just wear face cap for the street. Dem need to plan sharp, enter wahala first, then from there, gree make Obi run goveermint, that one go fit help him if Atiku fit decide to help Nigeria too.
Why Obi no fit gree Atiku carry one term, instead of the pressures wey dey come from Obidients? The truth be say, if we wan reform dis country, we need better collective decision. No go just dey shout for ‘Obi 2027’ like say e go just happen like magic. Na long game Naija politics dey run, and we suppose gree confront our reality.
Now, if Obi miss this 2031 chance, wetin dey wait am for 2039? By then, e go dey old, just like Atiku wey dey carry old man status. The North dey always plan long, while we dey carry short term gist wey no go carry us far. E no go fit fly with the kind tempo wey Obidients dey push now.
Dis campaign wey dem don start dey too early, and na anger wey dey drive am. Na who dash dem power? They no fit put fear or intimidation for people wey wan make their own choice for election. Obi no be anybody property; he wan lead Naija and anybody wey choose am go carry him enter presidency.
Na personal decision, anybody fit decide who dem wan vote for. No be collective anything. Obi fit be president without Obidients like how e become governor without dem. So make una sit down well, gree the matter; this politics no be skin-deep level matter.
