Obi’s criticism stems from the Presidency’s attempt to draw parallels between his campaign and the 2020 US presidential election, particularly focusing on the role of social media in influencing public opinion. The Presidency, according to Obi, is attempting to distract the public from its own shortcomings and failures. Obi’s stance is rooted in his belief that the Nigerian political landscape is vastly different from the American one.
He accused them of trying to discredit him by twisting his words and manipulating information. This is a common tactic used by political opponents, but it is a dangerous and unethical approach to public discourse.
A. The Republican Strategy: A Timeless Tactic
B. Democrats vs.
This is a tactic that has been used by Republicans for decades, and it’s a tactic that’s been successful in the past. But we’re not going to fall for it this time.”
This statement reflects a strong sense of awareness and defiance against a recurring pattern of political rhetoric. It highlights the intention behind these comparisons, which is to gain favor from the Democrats, a tactic that has been employed by Republicans for a long time.
“Nigerians are not so gullible to be fooled by such empty propaganda. “It’s even ironic that the spin doctors of a leader who since the early campaign days into over a year as President has remained disturbingly aloof and seemingly incapable of presenting himself and his policies to Nigerians through the media, and who has continued to evade public accountability, are trying to malign Obi who has easily emerged in all ramifications as the most visible, focused and articulate political personality in this dispensation. “Obi remains a man who has not only become the conscience of the people but also their hope for a new and egalitarian Democracy.
“Rather than strive to market and justify their rusty and anti-people deleterious policies that have put Nigeria and Nigerians in the most horrendous, conditions, they have resolved to convey misleading accounts of our Principal’s activities just to distract the credulous public. “While we understand the frustration of selling a bad product in a competitive market, the FairPlay rule demands that you don’t de-market the good product by forcefully associating it with the ugly product. “We know the intention of these trolls and spin doctors, who have also gone ahead to provoke our Principal’s massive supporters across the country and diaspora by twisting his recent media interview to insinuate that he is ready to be Vice President to anyone.
“But that fallacy could not be true of a man who has repeatedly stated in various forums that he is not desperate to be President but desperate to see Nigeria work. “Such plebian conduct that is utterly devoid of integrity, remains the height of mischief from propagandists, who are envious of the rising profile of our Principal. “Finally, POMR wishes to plead with Nigerians especially the Obidients within and outside the country and across all the political parties to remain undistracted in their aspiration and desire to see a new Nigeria that is P0ssible.”
