I saw a post by someone who isn’t a resident of Nigeria and who, I believe, is now a citizen of a foreign country. That person said that even if Peter doesn’t win, they’re happy that Peter Obi never became the ADC’s vice-presidential candidate. I smiled and laughed. I am not here to say who should or shouldn’t be the vice-presidential candidate. It doesn’t really concern me any more. I am not a member of the ADC, and that stage has passed. But what I’m going to say, as a sort of piece of advice, is that for whoever, particularly for the South-East region, you might not like Obi, or you might like him; either way, one thing he did in the last election was that he carved out a niche for himself. He created a conversation about an Igbo presidency, which made sense. I didn’t support him in the last election because i didn’t believe he was going to get the number of votes he pulled, but he surprised a lot of us. However, the reality today is that, especially when you look at the campaign councils of the NDC, it looks ludicrous, as i doubt it was well thought out. Personally, i feel it is high time we in the South-East started playing politics that benefits our region. We supported Peter Obi very well, even when he ran as a vice-presidential candidate. We have given him massive love and support, but if you ask me, I might be insulted; some people might call me names, which is fine. I would say that the South-East should give 25% to the three main political parties, or even four. Let us play pragmatic politics so that, at the end of the day, whoever wins will benefit us as a people. Strategically, what use is it to go out and vote for one person again, only for that person not to win, and then they say, ‘Oh, we’re not ready to play politics,’ blah, blah, blah, blah, blah? So why don’t we play this politics once and for all, like the South-west normally does? Every serious presidential candidate from any region on the ballot gets something from the South-west. But in this cycle, I don’t know if it will be the same. In the past, you would at least see a good number of people vote for a candidate from that region. It is quite sad that our region hasn’t realised its full potential. But I pray that someday they realise that we need to take politics seriously. We can’t flourish only in business; we also need to flourish in politics.
