Obidients Reject Expensive Nomination Processes for Peter Obi

Supporters of former presidential candidate Peter Obi have declared he will not participate in primary elections they characterize as requiring excessive financial influence. The statement came as a response to recent political commentary from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar regarding future electoral contests.

The political movement backing Obi emphasized their commitment to what they describe as a new approach to politics that does not involve what they term “dollarised” delegate selection processes. They asserted that their preferred candidate would not engage in nomination contests where victory depends primarily on financial resources rather than political merit or popular support.

The response from Obi’s supporters addressed recent suggestions about potential political alliances and nomination procedures for future elections. They maintained that their political philosophy prioritizes substantive engagement with voters over transactional politics that rely heavily on financial inducements.

This exchange highlights emerging divisions within Nigerian opposition politics regarding appropriate campaign methods and nomination procedures. The development occurs amidst ongoing discussions about potential electoral cooperation between various political parties ahead of future national elections.
