I don't think anyone has labelled #PeterObi a messiah.
No one has dressed him in the messianic gab of "the new sherriff in town, whose presence alone was claimed to have caused power to improve" ala Buhari in 2015.

It is false equivalance to compare the #PeterObi movement of today with the "Sai baba" chants of 2014/2015.
For one, the Buhari myth was just that - a myth - with zero evidence to show any tangible success in the past about Buhari.
In other words, nothing to verify.

But in #PeterObi movement, the man himself repeatedly says #GoAndVerify .
Peter Obi's success stories are there in the public domain.
His way of life is out there in the public domain.
The man has been consistent before, in and out of government.

These are the things people see, hear and read.
And these are the things that motivates so many people to dedicate their time and money the Peter Obi movement.
People believe #PeterObi simply because he is genuine and dares you to #GoAndVerify .

To be brutally honest, I don't think anyone expects #PeterObi will turn Nigeria into paradise instantly if he wins.
No, but there is a sense that a #PeterObi presidency can steer Nigerian along path that will inspire future generation of leaders.
That there is hope for Nigeria.

So when some folks try to tag those supporting #PeterObi as mindless, cargo cult messiah worshippers, I simply chuckle.
You've totally failed to grasp what's driving those that support #PeterObi .
And if you can't grasp the motivation, how can you present a counter-offer?
