In a recent statement, Oseloka H. Obaze, the Campaign Manager for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign, addressed the suggestion that Peter Obi needs a dedicated media team.
Obaze’s response highlights the unique approach the Obi campaign has taken, leveraging the power of the “Obidients” – Peter Obi’s passionate supporters around the world.
Obi Focuses on Nation-Building Issues
Obaze noted that the current period is “off campaign season,” yet Peter Obi continues to engage the public on critical nation-building issues. This demonstrates Obi’s commitment to addressing the country’s challenges and engaging with the electorate, even outside the formal campaign period.
Obidients as Obi’s Core Media
Obaze emphasized that the “Obidients globally are his core media – they carry his message & debunk trolls.” This grassroots approach to communication and messaging allows Obi to connect directly with his supporters, who in turn amplify his voice and counter any misinformation or attacks.
Divine Intervention and Grassroots Strength
Obaze’s statement concludes with a powerful sentiment: “God is on the side of the army with the biggest battalion.” This suggests that the Obi campaign’s reliance on its passionate and engaged supporters, rather than a formal media team, is a strategic choice that aligns with a higher purpose.The Obi-Datti campaign’s approach highlights the power of grassroots mobilization and the importance of connecting directly with the electorate. As the 2023 presidential election approaches, this unique strategy may prove to be a significant advantage for Peter Obi and his team.
