Mr Peter Obi Peter Obi may not have won the last presidential election but he's the revelation of that cycle. He blazed a trail in Nigeria's politics. My first contact with him was through Facebook about six years ago when I stumbled on an Igbo pastor who prophesied that he should not go to the centre because his going would have consequences which the pastor didn't define. I took that seriously. When Obi appeared before a group of PDP elders who had gathered by the Party's duplicitous scheme to be examined if he was capable among other candidates to fly its flag, six years after that prophecy, I took particular notice. But Obi stood before men who were tired and worn out, who had been gathered not for fairness but to play the script of Atiku Abubakar, a serial contender for the presidency in Nigeria. The men sat bored and uninterested as Obi reeled out statistics about development in the country you would think he was a statistician. It's a long time since the nation has witnessed such in its politics. I was enraptured but the tired old men were not interested, however, Obi reeled out figures.
