What if Obi loses, then has won in teaching the old political class that their politics and campaigning style is no longer in vogue. It taught Nigerians that it is possible to fully support a candidate because you believe in his candidacy and because you are patriotic and not because of some pecuniary benefits you stand to gain if that candidate wins. This is a huge win for him and a big win for Nigeria and we all should take solace in this. It will no longer be game as usual and that is a big win for Peter Obi because all he wants is a better Nigeria where the ruling party will be accountable to the electorates. For the first time in history, we saw Northern Muslims championing and advocating for his candidacy despite the fact that he is an Igbo christian. It will not change the fact that in a short while he conquered the country like a storm, endeared himself to the hearts of many and became a formidable force in the national political scene.
