The presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has stated that the Obidient Movement is not confined to any single political party. He emphasized that the movement includes members from various political parties, genders, tribes, religions, and regions.
In a statement made on his X account late Wednesday, Obi said, “I like to categorically state that the Obidient Movement is not a directorate in any particular political party. Any individual or individuals claiming to be leaders of this non-existent directorate are simply not members of the broader Obidient Movement.”
He clarified that while there may be youth mobilization directorates within political parties, the Obidient Movement itself is much broader. “The Obidient Movement is a diverse and inclusive collective that transcends traditional political, religious, and ethnic affiliations. It is not domiciled within any particular party or headquartered in any particular part of the country. Its membership spans across Africa and the globe, comprising individuals from various backgrounds, including rural communities, and public, private, and corporate entities, united by a shared vision for a New and better Nigeria.”
Obi highlighted that the movement is driven by principles of adaptive and transformative change, progress, discipline, and democratic values. “The Obidient Movement advocates for fairness, equity, inclusivity, and justice. It is committed to a strictly accountable and responsible code of government. Our members are committed to contributing to the realization of a better future for Nigeria through the New Nigeria project, anchored on loyalty, integrity, and democratic values.”
He stressed that the movement rejects deceitful behaviors and seeks to foster positive change through a commitment to integrity, honesty, and accountability. “We serve as a beacon of hope for a reimagined Nigeria, where leadership is grounded in character, capacity, competence, compassion, and the well-being of all citizens.”
