Mr. Oseloka Obaze, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate and a former Anambra State governorship candidate and close political associate of Mr. Peter Obi, has claimed that there is a well-planned effort to overthrow Obi.

Those behind the conspiracy are interested in the 2027 presidential election, according to Obaze, who was Secretary to the Anambra State Government under Peter Obi and is currently the Managing Director of Selonnes Consult, an Awka-based policy, governance, and management consulting firm.

The former United Nations official claimed in an essay he wrote and posted on social media that Peter Obi’s presentation as the sole viable presidential contender and his popularity among young people in particular are the reasons behind the attack.

He said: “Some politicians with vested interests are already fighting back. They are strategically deploying all forms of trolls and subterfuge to demarket Peter Obi. Corruption is also fighting back, albeit covertly. The onslaught against Peter Obi is so well-oiled and funded; you’d think he is the only person running for the presidency in 2027.

“Obi’s delegitimization and demythologization are being orchestrated by those awestruck by fear. Two years away from the 2027 presidential election, pre-purposed and pre-positioned media goons are already traducing and pummeling Peter Obi without let or hindrance.

“Also, those hired hands pretending to be from Obi’s Igbo tribe are rendering what they want many to believe are even more persuasive, potent, and factually damaging anti-Obi sentiments. They are dredging up vexatious dregs. The assault was long anticipated by those of us aligned with Obi.”

Although he acknowledged that it is now clear that some people are scared of Obi and do not want him to run, he maintained that what will shock them more is that Obi has no choice but to do so.

“Here’s the upshot. If Obi runs, he might not win; if he does not run, he is guaranteed not to win. There is only one factor that could change the realities in 2027; that Peter Obi is not willing to be on the ballot. And that is not even an option anymore. Nigerians own Peter Obi as much as he owns himself. He is now a national asset.

“The fate of Nigeria hangs in the balance. Most of the Nigerian masses desirous of real leadership change, regardless of their social stratification, education, religion, tribe, or political affiliation.

“The electoral mandate stolen in 2023 was not just Peter Obi’s votes and victory. It was the votes Nigerians freely cast for Obi and for the betterment of Nigeria and her posterity. The second time around, such votes will double and will be amply protected, even with blood and lives. That much is certain. That’s the present national mindset.

“They will be protected and will count. Those who think or say otherwise only unmask their naïveté or profound fears of the prospects of a Peter Obi presidency. Despite all imponderables relative to 2027, I’ll only state by way of advice, support, and affirmation; Run, Peter, Run. Let history take its rightful course,” he advised.

He also came to the conclusion that Peter Obi’s failure to consult and solicit the blessings of people who consider themselves Nigeria’s owners may have been the reason he won by a landslide in 2023 but was not declared the winner.
