ADC is dead without Peter Obi

 



"If Peter Obi is not given the coalition presidential ticket, then the ADC is dead."


Statements like this are exactly the kind of toxic mindset complicating our political progress.

Why the threat? 

Why the blackmail? 

Why not allow him contest openly and credibly like every other aspirant?


This is Politics, Not a Charity Organization.


Atiku has declared his interest and encouraged others to contest if they believe in their vision. 

That's politics. 

That’s democracy.


ADC is not Labour Party, and it is not a personal fan club. They have a constitution, a structure, and internal rules. They will not break it for emotional blackmail or populist pressure.


Even Peter Obi himself has repeatedly said he will follow due process to Aso Rock. So why are some of his followers bent on undermining the very democratic principles he claims to represent?


This is not a coronation. It’s a contest.


If Peter Obi is truly the most qualified and most popular, then he should win the ticket through transparent competition, not through online noise or entitlement culture.


Politics is not a charity organization.

It is a game of ideas, structure, and strategy, not threats, tears, or tantrums.


It's not too late for Peter Obi to get out of this trap.

May God guide his steps!

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly rejected mounting calls from political leaders and stakeholders in Southern Nigeria urging him to step aside in favour of a Southern presidential candidate.

Let every qualified member test their popularity through a credible primary. Zoning must not be used to silence competence," Atiku stated emphatically. However, this declaration appears to have rattled the fragile coalition, triggering a fierce backlash...

This early coalition is a concoction mixture of recycled moles

Image
  Our dear nation's political landscape is now characterized by a complex interplay of challenges, greed, desperate quest for power, corruption and opportunities. we are faced with issues like insecurity, economic instability, and a lack of adequate protection for citizens' rights. The current administration has not shown convincing interest on addressing these challenges while also pushing for economic growth and development.  The breed of politicians behind this seeming deception called a coalition is a concoction mixture of constantly recycled moles, politicians whose quest for power supercedes their duties as leaders. Our dear nation faces threats from terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and ethnic tensions, yet the sponsors of this new coalition turned blind to these problems. Corruption, human rights violation, fast rising inflation and massive unemployment we are not convinced that would help tackle if voted into power as their antecedents remain uninspiring. Non-indigenes...
