Permit me to share some facts about Presidential Election
Political Structures, isn't not just mere electorate or voters, but something more sophisticated and complex
Presidential Election isn't SUG election
We have 774 local government areas in Nigeria in 36 states and FCT Abuja
Two Third of 36 states is 24 states
Party structures include the following
State party Chairman
Local government Chairman
Ward party Chairman
Finally, Polling Unit Agents
There is also, and important groups, such as Party Stalwarts, and party loyalists
All these are expected to be functional and effective
Betrayal comes from the aforementioned categories of people
They are the people who usually sell out "Votes"
For instance, when posters are printed, it should be distributed across Nigeria
Next fundamental group are the contestants
We have five categories of elections, President, Senators House of Representatives, Governors and House of Assembly election
Political Parties presents candidates for the various positions, and these candidates campaign for each other
A Presidential Candidate will campaign for those vying for Senate, Representatives, Governors and House of Assembly
Peter Obi is disadvantaged here
Who are those running for the other positions under Labour Party?
Peter Obi wouldn't be able to move around the whole country, I mean, the 36 states, but those contesting under the labour party would do the Job
Peter Obi wouldn't be able to visit wards and local government areas, but labour party members and Big Wigs would do that, unfortunately, how many of such do we have in just 24 states?
Peter Obi wouldn't be able to visit villages and Polling Unit on the day of Presidential Election, but labour party stalwarts will do that, where are they?
Each Polling Unit, has some people who give directives on who to vote for especially in the rural village, who will work for Peter Obi
Elections are won on social media platforms for Peter obi
