I see them (North) listening to Obi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no party today that is discussing which candidate should run that Peter Obi is not topping the list even with surveys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe clear point today and everybody knows is that when it comes to public discussion, Peter Obi has taken over and he is in charge of the dynamic leading to the 2027 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt pains me today that we talk about North and South. In the last election, 44 per cent was what Peter Obi got in the South and 15.2 per cent in the North.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you show Kwankwaso\u2019s result today, he got around one million in the entire country; it\u2019s not about the fact that somebody is from the Southeast or Northeast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ameh noted that Obi has committed to a single term in office to uphold Nigeria\u2019s unwritten power-sharing arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter Obi has made an emphatic statement and a public declaration that \u2018I want to do only one term so that I don\u2019t tilt the balance of our unwritten arrangement\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that the country needs a leader who combines compassion, discipline, and a strong character to manage public resources responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, misaligned and misallocated resources have deprived citizens of the benefits that should have helped them grow.<\/p>\n<p>The former IPAC chair alleged that President Bola Tinubu is losing public support, not only in the north but across the federation.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that the presidency has been meeting with northern lawmakers to regain political goodwill before the next polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that the next election is not going to be the same thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the chief of staff is holding meetings with the northern House of Representatives because they know the people are not happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ameh warned that Obi\u2019s supporters will resist any attempt to manipulate the 2027 election outcome.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that Obi has repeatedly pledged to serve only one term, insisting he can achieve his transformation agenda in four years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ameh said that Obi\u2019s one-term pledge respects Nigeria\u2019s informal rotational leadership agreement between the north and south.
