The Accidental Coalition members are scampering to take power from Asiwaju. Those who see these guys as their superstars must be seriously and incurably deluded.
Not one of them has come up with an alternative plan to Tinubu's reforms. Secondly, I'm not sure why anyone in their right senses would consider Obi as an alternative to President Tinubu.
It is deeply ridiculous and embarrassing. Even if he wasn't fully exposed to you as a clueless individual the last time, you've now seen him and heard him over the last two years.
What Specific workable and beneficial alternatives has he managed to articulate at any time during that period? Even his best on-air personality friend, the Arise TV guy has interviewed him a few times and found no substance in whatever Obi has been spewing.
He expressed his frustration only a few days ago????????♂️. Coming on a public platform and screaming Obi for President without the ability to tell me three fundamental things he will do differently from what we have today is utterly unacceptable.
You can't defend the policies, if any, of the man you wish were our President at this very difficult time in our nation's history? You must be a joker or just an ethnocentric sod who cannot see beyond his nose for trying to even sell him to us. Obi is a trader but a good product he isn't. The man simply lacks the capacity and every interview reveals how deeply out of his depth he is trying to lead a nation like Nigeria. Even if he contests to rule Anambra State today, he would lose.
If you are indeed thinking of the prosperity of our nation over personal or selfish interests, it will be difficult to not see the positivity in the trajectory of our nation under this current government despite our grave challenges all of which were inherited from Buhari's cabal all of whom incredibly are now in the Accidental Coalition simply to unseat the man they struggled to keep out of power through dodgy Naira policies and artificial fuel scarcities.
This government clearly hasn't been perfect but they have not made many mistakes either, they've handled things the way even economic experts on Arise TV and even critical international watch dogs agree with. You can hate the man but don't hate your nation by wishing a clueless desperate bunch of power thirsty psychopaths on our nation in the name of a coalition.
Give Nigeria a chance away from those who put us in these dire straits in the first place. These Accidental Coalition members are takers, that's all most of them have done for literally all of their lives. They know nothing else other than what our nation's setup allowed them to take over several decades. Yet they remain desperate for more.
When Asiwaju's ACN and Buhari's CPC combined to gain power, we could tell that these were political parties they've nurtured for many years and just wanted to take to the next level. These guys however, have owned nothing, mentored no one, nurtured nothing and with an outrageous sense of entitlement they feel they can arrive somewhere and just take over.
It doesn't even matter if they bypass the rightful leaders of the ADC they've just bulldozed their way in and taken over what isn't theirs through the back door. They are so desperate they had to steal a political party just like Obi did with the Labour Party which he has now totally destroyed and left in shambles. Exactly what he would have done with our nation.
