We do not all need to agree on this but since Peter Obi lost his court case in all of the courts in the country, he declared that he is now in the opposition. His twitter is filled with "attacks", "Criticism" of the current ruling government. He is doing what the opposition does, but does this help the country's problems? Or is he trying to stay "relevant" until the next presidential elections?
I think you just said the whole fact about what is happening in your last statement made, he's doing that to get more of the opportunity of penetrating more into their midst in other to pave way for his next attempts which is under the condition of wether the current president is going for a second tenure or not, this is nothing but all about politics.
Remember they use to say this that if you can't beat them, then you should join them, base on my understanding, he uses the first means to stand on his own and fight the presidential race thinking he could win, he could have actually won, but they raise a resistance against him more than he has planned to counter against, this is money, influence and power we are talking about and all the three were used against him, he could have won if they had taken is with a simple hand on him but now that he has seen the reality, he should be in for the game proper this time around.
