Peter Obi: what has changed with Lagos rally?
One won’t make a mistake to ask Peter Obi, Labour Party candidate, that what has changed after the rally in Lagos? Has there been any development? What exactly has the rally done for him? Perhaps it’s one of those noisemaking on the internet, who knows?
Followers and enthusiasts of Mr. Peter Obi thronged the internet and social media to flaunt the pictures of the rally. One would think that the ex Anambra State governor has finally emerged as the president. They revel in their fantasy.
One thing they have failed to realize is that no matter what happens, every presidential rally of an averagely big party will surely have large crowd. Yet the crowd doesn’t convert to votes. That is the sad reality.
There is one particular picture of Alimi Yusuf. It looked more than staged. It’s one of those means of appealing to the emotions of the voters. How far has that gone?
Obi Cubana has solicited help for the teenager. This points to the argument that it’s facade just like the assurance the candidate himself has been giving the electorate and the citizens.
They really wanted to show that Lagos state wouldn’t belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. While this piece isn’t projecting the ex Lagos state governor, who himself has skeleton in the cupboard, the home truth is Peter Obi remains weak in Lagos.
People trooped out and the media helped to propagate the rally. How has it helped him? There is no crack at the side of the All Progressives Congress or the People’s Democratic Party. Peter Obi has maintained the status quo.
A rally of that magnitude should have attracted politicians from other parties to embrace the Labour Party and Peter Obi himself. Did that happen?
The rally has not broken any lines that Tinubu must have formed. On several occasions Peter Obi has shrugged off and sneered the idea of party structure.
