Naija, wetin dey happen for political ground as 2027 election dey draw near? E be like say Peter Obi and him Labour Party crew don dey take Federal High Court judgement wey sack Julius Abure-led NWC with plenty caution and optimism.
As e be so, dem go need to use their head well because dem no fit ignore the pending appeal wey dey for Appeal Court. E no go simple as the court don talk say Abure go hand over everything to Nenadi Usman wey lead the Caretaker Committee.
Yunusa Tanko, wey dey represent African Democratic Congress (ADC), talk say dem dey take am strategic. He talk say dem go look the matter well before dem make any final decision. Dem go need to avoid trap, abi make we think am like say, na for naija politics we dey? Omo, na the sharp guys go survive!
Dem Obidient group wey don gather over six million voters according to INEC stats, sabi say for dis political jungle, na only extra wits and tacts go carry dem go far. If this judgement gree stand, e go help boost Peter Obi chances for di presidential race.
If you ask me, e fit make some political big shots dey shake, especially Atiku Abubakar wey dey eye Emeka Nwajiuba should Oga Peter no gree run with am. Even PDP don dey make mouth say dem go give Obi ticket if dem no fit bring Goodluck Jonathan back into the mix. Na wetin dem dey plan wey go depend on how di court matter play out for Appeal Court o!
Goddy Ehimikhuai, na lawyer wey dey from Adamawa, yarn say di courts no dey rush to make final judgement on opposition party wahala. Na because dem sabi say di law fit tie their hands! Dem gree say internal party disputes na wetin courts no go fit enter. Na only when dem vex pass our Electoral Act before dem fit talk.
E him talk say dem dey look di matter from naija politicians’ angle. Naim, judiciary suppose dey like referee, wey no go choose side! But wetin happen now? Dem dey expect to find solution to the internal wahala, abi na wetin dem dey take eye dey check?
But e still no better for Labour Party or Peter Obi as di Appeal Court fit still scatter dis judgement, na so di matter be for now.
Ike Abonyi, member of Labour Party Media team, talk say dem dey plan high-level consultations to kick off fresh party registration and congresses. Dem wan carry everybody wey don dey vex go settle their issues, because this wahala don dey last long.
As di new caretaker committee dey try settle matter, dem sabi say dem no fit just dey dance around, dem go need to mobilize sharpish because time no dey wait for anybody. Katchy Ononuju, public affairs analyst, talk say ADC na loose alliance wey allow free entry and exit, so e fit work well with Labour Party.
Dey wan use dis one to unify all opposition as 2027 election dey draw near. But dem still dey watch di sitting government and dey prepare for wahala, just in case dem try any rubbish.
As e be now, na only time go tell how di whole political game go play out. But one sure thing, Peter Obi and him people dey ready for any twist wey di political landscape fit bring.
