Onumba.com ——– No —– to answer the question.

It goes without saying that Peter Gregory Obi is an enormously popular Nigerian politician. Dude is a political juggernaut. Since he burst into the presidential politics years ago, the former Anambra state governor has soared to the apex of who’s who in Nigeria’s political stratosphere and has maintained an unfaltering level of public imprimatur, even after losing the bruising 2023 election to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In short, Mr. Obi’s broad appeal has sprawled into a torrent of support flowing from all faiths, regions and ethnicities.

But the knock, for some, against Mr. Obi remains his inability to find a suitable political space to call home, prompting his opponents to brand him a ‘rolling stone.’  He has become more nomadic than the Fulani herdsmen, even though he has done a stellar job shepherding his faithful and uncomplaining sheep along his journey inundated with potholes and backbiters.  Their fealty is to Obi, not the party.

Recently, it appeared as though Mr. Obi was on the verge of settling down in a nice, cozy pad with ADC, but lo and behold, that fragile arrangement went south quicker than you can say ‘Atiku na wayo man.’

Akin to Willie Nelson’s ‘On the Road Again,’ classic tune, Mr. Obi’s presidential caravan is once again on the move, a jaunt that started from the Labor Party bus terminal, made a brief stop at ADC station where he seemingly picked up some 17 dangling stragglers and hitchhikers of the House of Representatives and then took off and has now pulled up at NDC station where he was welcomed. Hopefully, he feels warm and fuzzy there long enough to call it home.

His next stop, if any? Heck ——– your guess is as good as mine.

But word has it that the PRP bus terminal is down the road. If Mr. Obi decides to make a stop there, he will reconnect with his former Labor Party running mate Datti Baba-Ahmed who has expressed disappointment with Mr. Obi.  Datti recently unleashed a flush jab at the Anambra native for abandoning the Labor Party, Obi citing the toxic tiff there as the reason for his departure.  But Datti is having none of it, lampooning Obi’s move as evidence of a feeble leadership quality unfit for the presidency.

Ouch! Politics is a rough game, rougher than American football, but somebody got to play it.
