The leadership of the Obidient Movement has restated its unwavering support for the presidential ambition of Mr. Peter Obi, stressing that its loyalty remains intact regardless of party divisions.
In a statement signed by National Coordinator Dr. Tanko Yunusa over the weekend, the group dismissed rumours suggesting it might shift allegiance due to Obi’s coalition arrangements with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“Our attention has been drawn to deliberate misrepresentations and malicious propaganda arising from a recent interview granted by our leadership. These distortions necessitate a clear and authoritative restatement of our position,” the statement read.
The movement described itself as “an organic, nationwide, and values-driven democratic movement committed to good governance, accountability, and the rule of law,” adding that its singular purpose is to ensure the emergence of the right leadership for Nigeria through lawful and democratic means.
“Accordingly, and without equivocation, the ideals, energy, and collective resolve of the Obidient Movement are unequivocally committed to the presidential aspiration of Mr. Peter Obi. The Movement can join any political party of its choice that aligns with the person, principles, and leadership vision of Mr. Peter Obi,” Yunusa stated.
The group emphasised that its support is exclusively for Obi’s emergence as President of Nigeria.
“The Obidient Movement is not mobilised to support Mr. Peter Obi as a vice-presidential candidate to anyone. Our support is exclusively for his emergence as President of Nigeria,” it declared.
While noting its current support for Obi within the ADC platform, the movement said it would abide by the outcome of the party’s candidacy process if it is transparent and credible.
“Wherever Mr. Peter Obi, acting within the law and guided by conscience, chooses to pursue his presidential mandate, the Obidient Movement will move with him. Our loyalty is to his leadership vision and to Nigeria’s national redemption—not to political convenience or compromised platforms,” the statement added.
The leadership insisted that its commitment to Obi’s candidacy remains unshakable.
“Our commitment to the realization of a Peter Obi Presidency remains unshakable. We are convinced it represents the surest path to national renewal, economic recovery, and accountable governance,” it said, urging Nigerians to remain resolute and united as the country approaches what it described as a defining moment.
