Many followers of Obi actually believe the votes given to LP across Nigeria is because of Obi and his personality, this is a big No.
Some of the reasons why the votes went in for Obi.



Northern Nigeria;
The votes came for Obi in this region as a protest against the Muslim-Muslim ticket being used by the APC and moreso they don't want another president of Islamîc extraction.
Coupled with the fact that pastors were so vocal about it on their pulpits, in Kainji, a pastor was using his vehicle to convey his members to the polling unit from the church.




South East Nigeria:
Although the slogan of "it is our turn" is popular with South West Nigeria, this slogan is actually what South Easterners went into the election with, in all the zones in Nigeria, no candidate got over 90% votes except South East Nigeria, they emphasized "it is our turn" with their votes.

Lagos:
Lagos voted against Tinubu to show to him that he doesn't own Lagos and a massive prótèst against Tinubu about his supposed involvement in the alleged "tollgate massacre".



All in all, the votes has more to do with protests against Tinubu and APC more than it has to do with Obi and his personality.
The votes Obi gathered reflects people's sentiments against Tinubu and APC more than Obi's personality.
Same way Kwankwaso gathered votes in the north as a protest against the already established order in government.
If people's grievances are addressed in the next 4 years especially economically, their votes will dwindle at the polls in 2027.
