In presidential election, to be declared the winner of a state by vote margin, and to be declared winner with the exact number of votes casted for you, are two different things.
Time and time politicians and politcal paties have used this antics of intentional vote suppression as part of their rigging strategies.
Peter Obi was the biggest and latest casualty of this rigging antics,
perpetrated on him by both PDP and APC in 2023. Especially the APC.
For instance, in Lagos state, Obi scored well above a million votes, but it was systematically suppressed to half.
600k plus because there was no way to circumvent the will of the people, and the winning margin was so so much.
Secondly they weren't aware of Wike's Rivers state model for that day.
States where Peter Obi won, his votes were suppressed in halves so his closest opponent can cover up the winning margin, because at the end, the ultimate winner will be decided on a simple majority of highest vote cast, after meeting up the 25% vote spread in 24 states and FCT.
Declaring the actual votes Peter Obi pulled in every state in 2023 would have left him with millions of votes with an overall winning margin of at least 50% ahead of his closest opponent.
Both PDP and APC used INEC, governors, money, and political influence to intentionally suppress Obi's 2023 presidential election votes to at least half.
If Obi's get like 800k votes, and his winning is so obvious that they can't rig him out, they will reduce his votes to like 350k votes, so his closest rival who had scored 280k will only lose by 70k vote margin. They will then declare Obi winner, so in every sense of reasoning, he will not complain of being rigged. They will claim he won the state, so there is no point of complaining.
But in states where Obi don't have strong support base, they will declare 950k votes in their favour, and 30k votes for Peter Obi, as if Obi did not campaign in such states.
Even if Obi had originally gotten 250k votes, they will intentionally suppress it to 30k, just to justify that the state is not his stronghold. They will astronomically increase their own votes that their winning margin will be insane and unimaginable.
The reason for that huge margin of 950k and 30k margin is very simple. It will cover up for their shortfalls in states where Peter Obi might have won with 50, 100, or 150k votes margin. So on the final counting of votes, they will be declared winner by simple majority, haven scored the highest number of votes casted, even when the true voting demography proves otherwise.
Peter Obi and the NDC must be mindful of this and other antics. Atiku and PDP had the opportunity in 2023 to systematically suppress Peter Obi's votes because they had governors then, and some level of influence. But with him in ADC for 2027, that antics will be very difficult, but not impossible.
The party every NDC, Peter Obi supporters, and well meaning Nigerians must watch out for in 2027 is the APC.
They will do everything to suppress his votes in his stronghold states, and shortchange him heavily in their stronghold states.
Nigerians must be vigilant and ready to resist them in 2027. Every of Obi's vote must count, and must be accounted for.
This is a great initiative and also considering the integrity of the person involved, All persons who believe in the Ok ticket , this will be great to get involved in
@PeterObi doesn’t need more people posting tweets or cutting videos. He needs a serious political media team—people who fully understand Nigerian politics, global power dynamics, international media ecosystems, and how influence is really built.
Their job is strategic positioning not content creation.
They decide which platforms matter, which journalists need to be engaged, which spaces he should be present in, what narratives need to be introduced early, and the timing of all of it. The goal is to make sure his campaign is not seen as just a local conversation, but something with international weight and relevance.
We need the world’s eyes on this election and its implications if this evil government continues, we don’t need the attention of just world leaders, rather public interest strong enough to pressure their leaders. It starts with public attention. Get citizens talking, the media follows. The media asks questions, politicians are forced to answer them, and institutions pay attention.
The best political media teams do all of this so strategically that it looks organic.
INEC is your biggest obstacle.
In 2023, people showed up and couldn’t vote. Now they know Nigerians are vigilant, so what happens when the materials simply don’t show up?
You cannot protect or count a vote you were never allowed to cast.
Stop waiting for election day to hold INEC accountable. By then, it is too late.
Before 2027, the question is simple:
How do you guarantee that EVERY Nigerian who shows up to vote can actually vote?
Who is accountable when materials don’t arrive? What is the immediate remedy?
Because “report the incident” after disenfranchising thousands of people means absolutely nothing.
We keep talking about turnout. Good.
But what is the plan when the people turn out and INEC doesn’t?
They are banking on you focusing on the actual day, because by then it will be too late…
We have no business with IREV. It is cosmetic. We must approach the 2027 election as if it is manual. We are back to 2003!
We arrive at the polling unit with the mindset to stay there for at least 48 to 72 hours. We watch every vote cast like hawks.
We count and ensure each vote is counted and entered as voted. We do not allow so called human error of votes not entered correctly. 160 cannot be zero!!!!
In the meantime, all unused ballot papers are properly cancelled.
Ensure that the correct figures are entered ooooh. Our business is not to trust INEC!!!!
From the polling unit, we follow the ballot boxes to the ward collation centre. We vigilantly ensure that the votes are not changed!
From ward collation centre we move to the local government collation centre.
From local government collation centre, we move to State collation centre.
AT NO TIME SHOULD WE ALLOW BALLOT BOXES OR RESULT SHEETS TO BE OUT OF OUR SIGHT!!!
From State collation centre we move to Abuja. let states send some representatives) to come meet us in Abuja and stake out where Amupitan will be collating the results from all over Nigeria.
We will be there till result is announced the way people voted.
This election must be personal to everyone. If you vote and don’t wait for your results to be entered then you merely did paper painting not voting.
As for those that do violence, let their families know it will no longer be business as usual. Let everyone call their children to order.
