The Obidient Movement Worldwide has confirmed that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, is currently holding extensive discussions with various stakeholders. According to Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the movement, these consultations are part of Obi’s preparations for the 2027 election cycle.
In a statement released on Saturday, Tanko addressed ongoing political developments and reports regarding the former Anambra governor’s next moves. He emphasized that the engagement process is deliberate and designed to chart the most effective course for the nation’s future.
Recent reports had suggested that Obi might join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso, following a stakeholders’ meeting. However, the Obidient Movement clarified that Obi has been absent from ADC gatherings since the opposition summit in Ibadan in April.
Tanko underlined that the talks are thorough and centered on building a more equitable Nigeria. He noted that as a movement grounded in accountability, every decision aligns with their long-term vision for the country.
The statement read: “These consultations are deliberate, thorough, and guided by the overriding objective of securing a future that works for all Nigerians.”
