There was a Time and in this Time!
There was a time; from 1998 when PDP was formed to 2013 when APC was formed, down to 2019, the average mind of a person who is eligible to vote in Nigeria is either it is PDP or APC. Apart from these two parties, there is no chance for you to win presidential election in Nigeria. This was a level where election malpractices and corruption are at the apex of Nigeria Politics.
People at that point, weren't concerned with the candidate's capacity, dignity, capability, ability and credibility, but were concerned with, which party is he coming from?This caused people to be disinterested in Political matters (apolitical), and the political cabals were busy doing their underground things.
In this TIME;
majority of the people are fed up with corruption who said in 2015, he will fight corruption. People are fed up with the beast who is autocratic in the name of democracy. We are now awake!
With one man Peter Obi, people are no longer interested in which party, they are interested in which candidates. With the trending of Peter Obi, people are willing to vote him even if he is in a kitchen party. This will be a very big break of Nigeria Political history. This is a new history, where Obi does not have to share money yet, people are ready to campaign for him, he doesn't have to bring bags of rice before people are convinced to vote for him.
To the world, we are now in a new era: an era of looking for competence, credibility, reliability, sustainability, equity, accountability, and someone who will be able to see that the goal of common Good is sustained. It thinks in me that, Nigeria will be well again with Peter Obi.
Following the sudden Political consciousness of Nigerians, many people have become critical of political aspirants. Among the top three's 2023 presidential aspirants in PDP, Abubakar Atiku is at the top most. Being at the top most means it might like be Atiku if not Saraki or Wike, but could Atiku deliver Nigeria messed up by Buhari than Peter Obi? Behold are what people think about Atiku.
From Fr Kelvin Ugwu, commenting on the personality of Atiku, he wrote on his Facebook page, "You want me to also write about Atiku so as to be seen as balanced. Hmmm! What is it about Atiku that is even worth writing about? Is it not better to even promote Tinubu or even the third term of Buhari? Mtchwwww! You people play too much! If you want to read about Atiku, go and look for pastor Reno. I don't like what I hate and I don't talk from both sides of the mouth". From his post, the only person that will see Atiku as a good person for Nigeria Mr Reno Omokri who people consider as anti-Peter Obi. In the opinion of Osvc Okolie, Atiku is the face of everything wrong with Nigeria! He added, vote him at your peril!
To cock it all, former president of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo, in an exclusive interview with Premmium Time, stated categorical that God will never forgive him, if he supports Atiku for president. In his own words, he said, “How can I be on the same side with Atiku, to do what? If I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me. If I do not know, yes. But once I know, Atiku can never enjoy my support,” he added.
In a bid to clarify his assertion, Obasanjo added, “I do not have personal grudges with anyone. If you do not do well for Nigeria, you do not do well for all of us and it is not a question of working with or not working with an individual; if you are working for the good of Nigeria, I am working with you. If you are not working for the good of Nigeria, it does not matter who you are, I am not working with you.” Obasanjo, saying that he will work with anyone working for the good of Nigeria and that he is not working with Atiku means Atiku's political ambition is not for the common Good but must have a secret background for which we are not aware of now.
