From the beginning, Peter Obi was running his campaign, scared of people associating the movement with anything Igbo.
He repeatedly warned people that they should not vote for him because he was Igbo. Already, Obi won a victory in this regard. He has proven that the snail may try but cannot cast off its shell.
For every step taken by any Igbo group, be it the Indigenous People of Biafra , Igbo cultural group, Ohanaeze, or Okija Native Doctors Association, Peter Obi’s campaign is immediately associated with the step and is expected to explain to the nation why he should be allowed to be president in light of the group’s move. Lucky Peter Obi. Other candidates from other parts of Nigeria get denied this victory.
Peter Obi has proven that all generalisations about the Igbo people of Nigeria are wrong, including this one. Peter Obi’s greatest disruption is the perception of Igbo people in some quarters as aggressive, rude, and loud. Peter Obi is nothing like that. It used to be argued in the Nigerian political space that the Igbo people had no quality candidate to present as a presidential candidate. That argument persisted despite Zik trying out in 1979, Alex Ekwueme trying out in 1999, and so on.
