Every Sunday, I speak with my godmother back in Anambra. We usually have very interesting conversations; but recently, they've been mostly about Peter Obi's presidential campaign.
Let me start by saying that she, like most elderly folks, voted APGA in the last governorship

election. She belongs to the class that firmly believes in the "nke a bΕ― nke anyi" mantra. She has never cared who APGA presented for Anambra guber elections; for her, she's deeply committed to the party & will vote for them, regardless of who the candidate is.

that she's a formidable convener. She's been an APGA ward chairperson since 2003.
She bought into Peter Obi's campaign very early on and has carried it on her head since. She goes to every women's meeting with LP flyers, dummy ballots, & all sorts of campaign materials.

As of today, she hates Sokudo with a passion & has decided that the next guber election might mark the first time since 2003 that she will either vote another party with a credible candidate or sit the election out altogether.
Well, she told me of an interesting development

Over the past 3 days, Sokudo has embarked on a massive campaign strategy, scattering mini APGA signposts all over the state, from pole to pole.
She has deduced that his plan is to confuse Anambrarians into voting APGA in next month's presidential elections in order to reduce

PO'S Anambra votes.
What she said next is very funny.
Most of those mini signposts did not last beyond 24 hours. Nearly everyone made it a point of duty to tear down the ones in front of their homes or shops.
The only ones still standing are the ones that are not situated in

She has also decided to upscale her campaign foot soldiers by 200%
She dropped that popular Igbo saying that if a deity does too much, the people will drag the deity to the tree where it was carved from & remind it that it was made by humans.

Deity = Sokudo π« π«
It appears that Sokudo has become the King who does not heed counsel, & now everyone has decided not to tell him that he's walking around with excreta hanging out of his backside.
He has set himself against the people of Anambra.

The people have decided that they will not waste money putting up any more LP signposts, but many other women like her have taken it upon themselves to make sure everyone knows where to vote next month.
You see, Peter Obi, as governor, made the women of Anambra state fall madly

in love with him. They will walk through fire for him, & we are all aware that there are no better mobilizers in Igbo land than women who wholly & entirely believe in you, & the Church. I'm talking of the CWOs, Umuadas, umu iyom, & all sociocultural women groups in Anambra state.
Anyone who knows the inner workings of APGA will tell you that their most efficient conveners & mobilizers are women groups.
The lines have been drawn. The contest is on. The stage is set. The die is cast.

Someone will blink first, but we know these women and their age long reputation for possessing very strong eyelids and relishing stare-down contests π« π«
