ATIKU OR PETER OBI: WHO SHOULD LEAD THE COALITION
With the line of opposition blurring following the defection of some Delta Governor and Former Governor and others, with other expected defections, it’s now obvious that those who would be remaining in whatever would remain of opposition parties after defections, would have to work together to stand a chance against Tinubu in 2027.
But the question is, who would be the coalition’s best bet against Tinubu: Atiku or Obi?
Like someone said, with 13 governors and 38 senators, Atiku could only stay ahead of Obi with about 800k votes while Obi garnered over 6million votes without a single governor nor senator nor House of Rep or Assembly Member.
With the data above, isn’t it obvious who commands higher following even without stakeholders support?
Again, the zoning sentiments says it’s still the turn of the South in 2027 which gives Obi an edge.
Should the coalition make the mistake of adopting a northerner (Atiku or anyone else), then they may have played into the hands of Tinubu as the election will truly become a north vs south battle and I doubt the north will win that battle.
But with Obi, the coalition will be certain that Southeast and Southsouth is locked down for Obi. Add the votes of northern christians and then the north only has to convince the core north to vote Obi as well, and the numbers will be too much to rig.
