TINUBU'S SOCIAL MEDIA ARMY READY NOW TO SWOOP ON PETER OBI
Basil Okoh

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Social Media Team has just completed training at Nicon Transcorp Hotel Abuja, to resume work on the 2023 presidential campaign. Another...

team has also completed its training in Lagos. Well provisioned offices have been made ready for them in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt as was done for them in 2015.

In 2014/15, APC had to travel to the US to procure Rahm Emmanuel, a Jew and Barak Obama's pointman to design

a campaign for Muhammadu Buhari. We don't know yet where these trainers come from.

I am informed that their major assignment is to roll back the Peter Obi political momentum that appears to be taking over Nigeria.

They are well trained by professional hackers and experienced

trolling practitioners.
But truly Bola Tinubu's challenges in this election is not from Peter Obi but from himself and his own political party.

He has to find a way to dispel rumours of his own terminal illness. For nearly a fortnight now, he has been lying critically sick in

a French hospital after spending over four months in a British hospital and returning just in time to contest the APC presidential primaries, where it is claimed he spent well over a hundred and fifty million dollars on delegates, contestants and governor's alike to win the

primaries.

The unending cause of laughter in the public arena in Nigeria today are the many videos and pictures of him wetting his clothes with his own urine in the public, falling over tables everywhere he goes and being unable to hold up the APC flag handed to him by Muhammadu

Buhari. His geriatric challenges worry his handlers and the voting public to no end.

Outside his own health challenge is the unending hollowing out of the APC in Northern Nigeria. The entire northern bloc of the APC are defecting into PDP to identify and vote for their kinsman

Atiku Abubakar. Not more than a forthnight ago, the entire Northern Senate caucus of the APC was to defect into the PDP but wiser counsel prevailed on them to tarry awhile in order not to give PDP a majority to harass the Buhari government.

It should be obvious now to Bola

Tinubu that he does not have the men for a ground campaign operation in Northern Nigeria. How then does he hope to win in the north?

So Bola Tinubu's election challenge is not Peter Obi but from himself and his party. No one can tell now if he has settled the issues of his

identity fraud and the issues arising from his alleged academic qualification and eligibility for the office of president. It is a public shame that a supposed professional from Yorubaland should have his academic fitness for office questioned.

So no matter how many people Bola

Tinubu trains for Social Media rampage on Peter Obi, it will not help his own electoral chances unless and until he overcomes his health, certificate and political party challenges. In order words, the fall of Peter Obi will not help or improve the chances of Bola Tinubu.

His efforts and expenditures on training of hackers and Social Media disrupters to pummel and browbeat Peter Obi cannot help or improve Bola Tinubu's electoral chances until he overcomes his own personal difficulties.

Moreover, like other establishment politicians in Nigeria,

Bola Tinubu and his team are misreading the Peter Obi phenomenon. They obviously do not understand what is happening right before their eyes. Entrenched in the ways of the political past, they cannot understand the political phenomenon driving the Peter Obi political whirlwind

which has been building and taken decades to arrive.

They have labeled it with ethnic slurs but it didn't stick. Governor Obaseki acknowledged that. So without a guiding map, Bola Tinubu and the establishment politicians want to deal with the Peter Obi tsunami in the ways of

the past, with the tools they know and the tried strategies and tactics that they had mastered and has worked for them in the past. The strategies they have used in the past like tribalism, radicalism, violence or even media harassment or branding in any form will not work with

the Peter Obi movement.

The traditional media impact in this campaign and election will be minimal. There's hardly any newspaper in Nigeria today with a circulation of 300,000 in a population of 200 million people. Sunday Times circulated a million copies in the eighties under

the editorship of Ray Ekpu. So the impact of traditional newspapers are waning in Nigeria.

Bola Tinubu and his social media team dominated the online media in the 2015 presidential campaigns. They were able to run rings around the Goodluck Jonathan and PDP campaigns and give

them a bloody nose because the PDP men including Dr. Reuben Abati were fighting over money and couldn't really come to terms with the fight on their hands.

Peter Obi is a different kind of opponent because first he has no team and yet the man has garnered ten million soldiers in

the social media war. And the big battalion will eventually win as always in every war. Peter Obi's army will fight an asymmetric warfare because it has neither form nor shape or even a central command. They will scorch and overwhelm Tinubu and everybody else's army.

What the

Bola Tinubu Media Team has been instructed to do is to bombard Peter Obi's credibility and tear it down completely to shreds in the next couple of months. This can only have a marginal effect because the overwhelming majority of the man's followers have been bought and sold on

Peter Obi. Millions of them work, sleep and wake in the online media and understand the game better than even the trainers at Transcorp.

Moreover the media trainers forget that this is a generational fight, not the tribal war they always make Nigerian elections to become and

that their youth audience are a deeply wronged and angry generation who have not forgotten the role of Bola Tinubu in shedding the blood of innocent youth at Lekki Tollgate on October 20 2020. Tinubu they believe, has the blood of Nigerian youth in his hands and they are

determined to make him pay.
