The ‘Obidient’ Movement has pledged to guarantee the rise of leaders like former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, ahead of the 2027 elections.
Recall that Peter Obi was the presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections.
Ahead of the next general election, the Obidient Movement promised to make sure that capable leaders, alongside Obi, emerge.
The Movement’s National Coordinator, Tanko Yunusa, made this declaration in a statement issued on Tuesday (today).
With newfound vigour, Yunusa stated, the Obidient Movement would keep fortifying its institutions, broadening its scope, and guaranteeing that each supporter is enabled to fulfil their role.
He expressed optimism that if the needed effort are put in place, a New Nigeria is achievable.
The statement reads, “On Wednesday, 12th February 2025, the Obidient Movement took a significant step forward by successfully hosting its first Advisory and Directorate Committees meeting.
