ONE of the major upsets of the 2023 Presidential election outcomes is that Atiku Abubakar shall not become President of Nigeria, try as much as he may in the courts.
Secondly, the PDP is on it’s way into total extinction in the South east and South South geopolitical zones.
Thirdly, all the politicians in G-5 Governors group that hitherto served in PDP dubious consensus committee but became agitated against Atiku Abubakar emergence as PDP presidential candidate have been served a well deserving defeat at the polls in the senatorial election.
Fourthly, Peter Obi has demonstrated his capacity to implement a paradigm shift from conservatism to Liberal democratic tenets by his great wins nationwide in the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
As a greenhorn:
Peter Obi polled 6.1 million votes.
Atiku Abubakar polled 6.7 million votes.
Rabiu kwakwanso polled 1.4 million votes.
Bola Tinubu polled 8.7 million votes to emerge “winner”.
Atiku Abubakar’s hijacked PDP ticket by throwing the primaries open ought to have been a South East ticket by micro zoning according to PDP constitution.
But due to Atiku’s ambition, trickery, monetisation and shortchanging games, Peter Obi defected to Labour Party and Rabiu kwankwaso formed his NNPP having also abandoned the PDP quarrelsome sinking ship.
The votes garnered by Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso sums up to 14.2 million and this is 5.2 million votes in excess of what Tinubu was treacherously awarded by INEC to be declared “winner” by a corruptible INEC.
*It appears that INEC capitalised on the internal wranglings in the PDP to align with and work for APC in the understanding that a divided house is a defeated house.*
It is foolhardy for PDP to now invite LP to join forces with it to fight post election disputations against APC, a union that was initially bifurcated, dictatorial and ethnicised because of the ambition of one man, Atiku Abubakar.
As PDP bows out of Southern Nigeria to be replaced with Labour Party, it may not have the opportunity to apologise to southern Nigeria as it did in 2018 to all Nigerians but may return to the drawing board, though too late, to renegotiate and not reconcile itself.
This is a clear case of a person using his gun to shoot his thigh and watch it bleed.
At last PDP has come to the end of the road and the cookie has come home to roost.
Dr Iyorchia Ayu may now continue as PDP de facto chairman as Atiku Abubakar retires from active politics at age 77 years.
Sai Atiku! Sai Ayu.
Atiku Abubakar has been served the menu his n-PDP cooked for Jonathan in 2015 that attained it’s crescendo in February 2023.
By the benefit of hindsight, APC looks poised to rule for sixteen years unfruitfully like PDP before a third force by divine intervention might end the reign of *Organised criminal gangs* in Nigeria (Apologies to Tony Amaechi, the phrase curator).
As PDP, LP and NNPP( all factions of Dr Alex Ekwueme’s 1999 original PDP behemoth) head to challenge APC Tinubu’s “Victory” in court, it must remember that *he who goes to equity must come with clean hands.*
For the records, the twenty four wasted years of PDP in the South East geopolitical zone has come to a celebrated end and the Labour Party flag must replace it with candour, pump and pageantry as *Peter Obi becomes the new kid on the block and the current political leader of Ndigbo unopposed.
In the coming months, we will watch the migration of spoilt politicians into Labour Party nationwide as Pan Nigerian Youths Party and caution them of old politicians before they may be corrupted by bad eggs.
*Corrupt politicians are the same as university Vice Chancellors that watched our votes manipulated, rewritten, destroyed, mishandled, un-upoaded by BEVAS to IREV but had the temerity to carry, announce, sign and handover fake Presidential election figures to INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, one of their own to emplace a controversial leader for Nigeria and abort our dreams of birthing a new Nigeria.*
*Nigerians are terribly hurt by the conspiracy of it’s elites for filthy lucre.*
It is going to be too hot sharing the same political space with compromised elites going forward.
God bless Nigeria.
