First time in my life seeing a party without structure getting this much attention — media influencer, Noble Igwe
In a recent statement made by Noble Igwe, a Nigerian entrepreneur and social media influencer, he expressed his surprise at the level of attention and scrutiny that a political party, which was declared “without structure”, has been receiving despite coming in third in a recent election.
Igwe noted that in his experience, he had never seen a third-place candidate or party receive such intense scrutiny and criticism. He went on to suggest that if a child is crying and pointing at something, there must be some substance to their claims.
He wrote:
“This is the only time in my life that I’ve seen someone that has been stated to have come 3rd in an election getting this much heat.
“A party that has been declared as “ without structure” getting this much attention.
“If a child is crying and pointing, there’s something there.”

The statement has since sparked a debate among political commentators and observers in Nigeria, with some agreeing with Igwe’s assertion that the attention being given to the third-place party is disproportionate, while others argue that the scrutiny is necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in the political process.
Regardless of the varying opinions, Igwe’s statement has brought attention to the need for a robust political structure in Nigeria and the importance of ensuring a level playing field for all political parties.
