They are strategically deploying all forms of trolls and subterfuge to demarket Peter Obi. Corruption is also fighting back, albeit covertly. The onslaught against Peter Obi is so well-oiled and funded; you\u2019d think he is the only person running for the presidency in 2027.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cObi\u2019s delegitimization and demythologization are being orchestrated by those awestruck by fear. Two years away from the 2027 presidential election, pre-purposed and pre-positioned media goons are already traducing and pummeling Peter Obi without let or hindrance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAlso, those hired hands pretending to be from Obi\u2019s Igbo tribe are rendering what they want many to believe are even more persuasive, potent, and factually damaging anti-Obi sentiments. They are dredging up vexatious dregs. The assault was long anticipated by those of us aligned with Obi.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHere\u2019s the upshot. If Obi runs, he might not win; if he does not run, he is guaranteed not to win. There is only one factor that could change the realities in 2027; that Peter Obi is not willing to be on the ballot. And that is not even an option anymore. Nigerians own Peter Obi as much as he owns himself. He is now a national asset.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe fate of Nigeria hangs in the balance. Most of the Nigerian masses desirous of real leadership change, regardless of their social stratification, education, religion, tribe, or political affiliation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe electoral mandate stolen in 2023 was not just Peter Obi\u2019s votes and victory. It was the votes Nigerians freely cast for Obi and for the betterment of Nigeria and her posterity. The second time around, such votes will double and will be amply protected, even with blood and lives. That much is certain. That\u2019s the present national mindset.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey will be protected and will count. Those who think or say otherwise only unmask their na\u00efvet\u00e9 or profound fears of the prospects of a Peter Obi presidency. Despite all imponderables relative to 2027, I\u2019ll only state by way of advice, support, and affirmation; Run, Peter, Run. Let history take its rightful course.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 --><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span class=\"copyright\"><strong>\u00a9 2025 Naija News, a division of Polance Media Inc.
