‘There’s a (fundamental) structural problem in respect of the synergy between Labour Party, LP and political support groups across the country beyond LP Cross River and Akwa Ibom. This structural defect has significant implications for Obi/LP’s anticipated emergence.
‘Political support groups must admit that, constitutionally, there is no independent candidature in Nigeria so they must look for a way to walk/work with LP which is the sponsor for Peter Obi as her presidential candidate
‘LP across the country must also admit that she can’t successfully prosecute the presidential elections without working/walking with political support groups. This is premised on the fact that LP wasn’t ready for the defection of Peter Obi to LP. And these support groups have an energy that should be deployed accordingly
‘LP doesn’t have proper representation in the rural areas. Majority of Nigerians with her penchant for theft and fraud are ‘cashing out’ from both ends as members of LP, and members of political support groups. In fact, their motivation for joining party and/or political support group is to benefit financially exclusively.
‘Finally, there’s dire need for a strategy which would help LP and political support groups to walk/work hand in gloves’, Nyok concluded.
