Kperogi reveals two burdens Obi will face if he becomes president in 2023 via politicsngr
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Obi, a former governor of Anambra State and one-time vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , is one of the frontline candidates in respect of the 2023 election.
“Obi will be stymied by two lumbering burdens should he become president. The first is what sociologists call the crisis of rising expectations. Like Muhammadu Buhari before 2015, Obi has presented himself—and has been touted by his supporters—as “different,” as the “savior” that Nigeria needs to take it to the Promised Land. That’s a dangerous expectation to create for a politician, any politician.
“Nonetheless, the wildly farcical religious fervor among Obi supporters in the belief that Obi is Nigeria’s last opportunity for redemption is in such sharp contrast with Obi’s own earlier position about the impossibility of changing Nigeria through changes to who becomes president. “It’s interesting that Obi is now putting himself up as another prospective driver to move a motionless car with a knocked-out engine. Perhaps, he wants to be the driver who’ll tell us that we need to change the engine, And that’s where his second problem lies,” he wrote.
