1. A Dream covered in Gold, & said to posses an almost magical powers that will transform Nigeria, for good. A man (not a Saint), is trailing the blaze of what will soon become, A New Nigeria. A Peaceful Political Revolution is underway. WALK WITH ME, I’ll tell you A Great Story.
2. Night of 25th Feb will be fought hard & won. It’ll be a very long night, but it’ll mark the transformation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, into the Citizens Republic. Youths of Nigeria rushed to the polling units on a Rescue Mission. A mortal is inspiring their confidence.
3. At the last minute of the last count, the legion of youths drove back the Enemies of Nigeria through the ballot boxes. The Citizens Republic is about to conquer the land. Nigeria has come a long way. Although it had Great Promise at inception, its History is soaked in blood.
4. What started as a conquest led by Sir Frederick Lugard, & transitioned into a Republic led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, & Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, is now a shadow of its perilous past. Today? there is nothing left of the “Big Town.”
5. With its armed forces, Nigeria conquered all that stood in its way. Back then, the Big Town was led in New Wars of Conquest by ambitious Generals. The Military Era was a tumultuous period. It was chaotic as it was brutish. Many died, others lived to count & bury their losses.
6. The cross movement of statistics of horror was staggering. With each Victory, Nigeria showered its victorious Generals with Gold, & populated Nigeria with slavish citizens. But a Republic is not led the same way a Big Town is. There is more that keeps a Republic flourishing.
7. So The Federal Republic was overtaken by the dazzling successes of its legionaries (veteran soldiers), men who were dedicated to channeling all powers to themselves. The rapid expansion of the Big Town drastically changed the balance of the original City State called Nigeria.
8. The administration of the New Provinces (ungoverned spaces), sometimes thousands of kilometers apart from one another, is complicated, & threatens the Old Republican Order. Indeed, the Institutions in Nigeria have barely evolved since their origins.
9. Power is still in hand of Aristocratic families, who use their wealth to rally partisans. The more partisans a family possess, the more influence it exerts on political, economic & military decisions. Nigeria is the system of Clientelism. A system built on political patronage.
10. A careful order of slaves & slave masters is maintained. The system balance itself with new entrants like Agitators & Rights Activists. It throws up all manner of non-state actors from time to time. Balance of Power is shifting, the system is undergoing massive changes.
11. There are Laws of Power that must be followed at all times. When a Republic derails from this path, the Economy is disrupted, inequalities gain grounds, dissatisfaction degenerates into a violent revolt, the Republic lives in near continues atmosphere of confusion & chaos,
12. only there is no Declaration of Hostilities. For ambitious & charismatic men, it is the opportunity to free themselves from the grip of Aristocratic families, & to climb the ropes of Power. For many poor families finding it so hard to feed, they begin to envisage a rebellion.
13. But a violent Revolution is not the answer. The People of Nigeria now seem ready to follow the Leader who has promised them Peace & Security, & Great Prosperity. A man like Peter Obi. This is where my Story becomes interesting. So sip your drink, sit back, relax & enjoy.
14. The journey of the man that was thrust into our National limelight by providence, did not start easy. In 2006, then as Governor, he gets the Civil Administrative Command in Anambra, at the banks of River Niger, & the Gates of Niger Bridge.
15. An excellent occasion to gain the Executive Experience & prestige he lacks, & to accumulate a tremendous knowledge on the job. In less than 8 years, he conquers the New World of Executive Experience, crushes Bad Governance & godfatherism that gripped his state,
16. & imposes Good Governance on his people. In Anambra State, some strongmen begin to worry about this ambitious administrator. So as soon as Peter Obi settled down, he is impeached in November 2006, to go back to Agulu (his hometown), as an ordinary citizen.
17. If he obeys & walk away, he might be kept in the background. If he refuses, he makes himself an outlaw. In March 2007, he faces the Rubicon & marched back to office through the judiciary. His impeachment & reinstatement marked the symbolic frontiers of his political career,
18. beyond it now lies his Rescue Nigeria Sacred Mission. No politician crossed the Rubicon like Peter Obi did. Now he faces his fate, he decides to break the jinx & advances on 2023 like a conquering hero. Ahead of his legions (the OBIdients), Peter Obi is saddled on his horse,
19. shields, swords & helmet on, ready for battle (election). The die is cast. Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. For Peter, Feb 25 is the “Moment of Truth.” After he’ll have our 35 million votes, it is there, at Eagle Sqaure Abuja, that everything will be settled.
20. On Feb 25, in the year 2023, in Nigeria, Peter Obi defeats Tinubu & Atiku, & puts an end to a dreadful 62 years. Labour Party against APC & PDP, youths against the old guards. Obi won his bet & goes back to Abuja as a conquering hero,
21. where he’ll be proclaimed as the Winner, the true defender of the Republic. 2023 is a fratricidal battle between brothers & sisters, fathers & mothers, uncles & aunties, nieces & nephews, cousins & relations. It’s a battle between Good & Evil, Light & Darkness.
22. Friends will become enemies, enemies will become friends. In the end, Nigeria will prevail. But the outcome of the polls is not as yet certain. Now Peter Obi must legitimize his soft Power & popularity, by campaigning massively in the North, when the official campaigns start.
24. He must search for the truth & assure our Northern brothers they have nothing to fear. He must explore the moment, ride with the tide, & the forces will guard you. Things are in your advantage, the next election is yours to lose. DON’T WASTE THE MASSIVE LOVE & GOODWILL.
24. Youths of Nigeria are the legitimate heirs to the throne. We are the legatees of Obi’s Goodwill. He is the guarantor of our Great Future. WE ARE THE LEADERS OF TODAY, NOT TOMORROW! OUR FUTURE BEGINS NOW! Our calls for a Peter Obi Presidency is a cry for help.😭
25. It gives a clue to something much closer to home. We will have a Great & Exciting campaigns. Peter Obi will give us that very elusive fighting chance. So we are not leaving anything to chance. Remember, “#ENDSars is a marathon, not a sprint.” Tomorrow is pregnant.
26. There must be consequences for bad behavior. Without adequate punishment, bad eggs will go unpunished. A lot happened to our dearly beloved country Nigeria. Where do we start from? Where do we go from here? Things are not alright. Nigeria needs People of Goodwill.
27. And when Obi is finally on that saddle, our pent-up euphoria will erupt like a volcano. From that moment on, patriotism will become the anthem, the mood of all Nigerians. I urge u all, don’t give up this fight. Posterity is with you. The World is with you. Heavens hear you.✊
