ACCORDING TO OUR REPORTER, former presidential aide Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has revealed that Peter Obi’s stunning performance in Lagos during the 2023 elections was driven by a carefully calculated ethnic strategy. A detailed explanation of why people dream about writing exams or returning to school or eating, crying, seeing snakes has been published on NewsVista.
Speaking on Channels Television, Baba-Ahmed said Obi “fundamentally and basically” appealed to ethnic sentiments in the state, a move that paid off massively despite Lagos being the political stronghold of President Bola Tinubu and the ruling party.
He explained that although Lagos is a cosmopolitan city, the election exposed how targeted ethnic mobilization can dramatically reshape voting patterns, even in territories once considered untouchable.
The revelation has reignited debate on the powerful role of ethnicity in Nigerian politics and how strategic voter alignment can overturn long-standing political assumptions.
