If one understands the APGA/Ojukwu phenomenon, one would know the mileage the only governor elected on that platform would have in the Southeast in the aspect of crowd pulling.
If one adds the fact that in every other community in Nigeria, apart from the indigenous population, the Igbos are the second largest, one would understand why the person seen as Ojukwu's candidate also pulls out the crowd in other parts of Nigeria.
Finally, if one adds the fact that the person involved is a very astute rhetorician/far right populist, who knows how to manipulate favourable factors to his advantage, one would understand the current hysteric fixations on him.
These hysteric fixations translating to election victory is however farfetched.
