LP Crisis: Party Bows To Pressure, Renames Obidient Directorate by Bobloco(op): 11:49am On Jun 06, 2024
Following a backlash over the naming and composition of the leadership structure of the “Obidient Directorate,” the leadership of the Labour Party (LP) has renamed the directorate.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, announced the party’s decision in a tarse statement in Abuja on Thursday.

According to him, the Obidient Directorate will now be known and referred to as the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.

Ifoh said, “Following the controversies arising from the creation of the Directorate of OBIDIENT Affairs, in the party, the Directorate is hereby renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.

“The inauguration will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the party’s National Secretariat, Utako, Abuja, by 10 a.m. Party members and the general public should take note.”


Recall that over 200 support groups, which make up the Obidient Movement, had denounced the LP leadership for setting up the directorate and naming some persons as directors.

The support groups, in a statement dissociating themselves from the new directorate, accused the National Working Committee (NWC) of the LP, under the leadership of Comrade Julius Abure, of trying to use the directorate to strip the movement of its independence.

Labor party should do well to put there house in order, 2027 might look a distance but it's not. A settled house can fight well.

Very good. So that if Tinubu finally hijacks LP we carry our movement follow Obi to a fresh party.

OBIdients movement is a political movement founded on the political ideologies of H.E Peter Onwubuasi Gregory Obi. It has nothing to do with LP Party.

Obidient movement is even bigger than Peter Obi himself

Obidients doesn't have anything like a leader just like how endsars doesn't have a leader that the crooked APC can easily corrupt with money.

Everyone who want good leadership is an Obidient, it doesn't matter your tribe, ethnicity or religion. So all those werey in labour party trying to be what they're not should stop fooling around .

Our job is to continue to press PDAPC neck daily

Re: LP Crisis: Party Bows To Pressure, Renames Obidient Directorate by Dpharisee:
Obidient is a movement that goes beyond party and religious affiliation, its even bigger than Peter Obi who is the face and poster boy of the movement, its about building a new Nigeria and not building Labour Party which is just a vehicle to pursue the vision and people can decide to change vehicles along the journey

Obidient movement isn't affiliated to any party. The groups only supports Peter Obi and his clear-cut ambitions. LP should go and do their mobilization and leave obidients alone
Re: LP Crisis: Party Bows To Pressure, Renames Obidient Directorate by meum: 11:58am On Jun 06, 2024

Low key it should have been renamed directorate of misinformation and public opinion
Re: LP Crisis: Party Bows To Pressure, Renames Obidient Directorate by FourQu: 11:59am On Jun 06, 2024
Exactly 💯 Obidients can not be tamed. We are all in for a new working nigeria for everyone. We cut across all works of life, political parties, timezones and ages.

Instead let the LP use this new directorate they formed to engage and mobilizer party officials to oversee the next election process by having representatives in all the political wards and voting centers across the country. This will be a better utilisation of their time and resources cool
Re: LP Crisis: Party Bows To Pressure, Renames Obidient Directorate by Whitecoal711: 11:59am On Jun 06, 2024
Obidient is a movement,bigger than any political party,it for justice, transparency , expose and criticism of evil policies against the good people of the nation,it's worldwide,it for the enlightenment,for true democratic movement,to stand rocky against injustice and oppressors and many more
