The Peter Obi’s Abeokuta Rally

Nigeria 2023 election will be the most open election in Nigerian history.  I have called it the year that information technology will disintermediate decades-old political structures in Nigeria as social media, SMS, etc remove (partly) information asymmetry, making it possible for citizens to have the right information and make the calls.

My thesis is that we will have a higher correlation between ideas & visions and electoral results. If that becomes statistically significant, Nigeria will begin to rise, henceforth, as higher quality managers will join Nigerian politics. For Abeokuta to respond this way for Peter Obi does imply that mobile internet is transforming Nigeria at a rapid pace.

Comment 1: The presidential election is between Obi and the rest, he remains the only candidate with a clearer route to Aso Rock. Anyone who pays attention knows who has the momentum, but of course – people who are not doing great will always find ways to be part of the conversation and create some hope for themselves. The man Obi has about 15 states within reach, if he picks just two in the southwest with Lagos obviously very competitive, he wins Aso Rock.

Something very interesting is happening in Nigeria, for those who really know how to read events, but again, if the result of a match is already known, what’s the essence of playing? So we have to keep the conversations going!

Comment 2: The truth be told the system of apc and pdp has really put nigeria backwards and its really affecting the youth badly,everyone is tired of this old system of ruling nigeria,we want a better nigeria,we want a nigeria that will be respected again,we want to take back our title of been the giant of Africa…#am obedient
