Preparatory to the 2027 presidential election, the leadership of the Obidient movement worldwide has announced the appointment of regional and diaspora members to its advisory council to oversee the galvanising of membership.

A press statement signed by Dr. Tanko Yunusa, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, indicated that the group has effectively spread its message, engaged voters, and challenged the dominance of Nigeria’s major political parties.

It noted that this new wave of political activism has sparked increased youth participation and reshaped the strategies employed in political campaigns across the nation.

“What started as a grassroots initiative to reform Nigeria’s stagnant political system has evolved into a global socio-ideological phenomenon.

The movement resonates deeply with citizens who are tired of corruption, insecurity, and economic hardship. Today, the Obidient movement stands as one of Africa’s most impactful campaigns, inspiring people worldwide.

“The driving force behind the movement is a collective desire for change, transparency, and accountability.

The movement embodies the aspirations of a generation determined to reclaim Nigeria’s future and build a better nation for all its citizens.

“It represents a unique ideological culture in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa, rooted in the principles of volunteerism and unwavering commitment.

It is driven by citizens who are disillusioned with retrogressive leadership, unfulfilled potential, and outdated stereotypes.”

Furthermore, it stated that the movement transcends political affiliations, socio-cultural backgrounds, ethnic identities, religious beliefs, and racial boundaries, uniting Nigerians and Africans under a shared vision for progress.

The Chairman of the Labour Party in Rivers State, Hilda Dokubo, has publicly rejected her membership of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council.

Speaking via a statement on Wednesday night, the LP chieftain stated that she was not consulted before her name was included in the list of members.

As the state chairman of the Labour Party in Rivers State, Dokubo emphasised her commitment to the party’s leadership under Barrister Julius Abure.

She explained that taking on the burden of becoming a member of the Supporting Advisory Council of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council would be inconsistent with her role in the Labour Party.

Dokubo also expressed concerns about divisive actions within the Labour Party family, emphasising the need for unity and reconciliation.

She echoed the sentiments of the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, who has been advocating for reconciliation and unity within the party.

She, however, requested to be excused from the Obidient Movement Advisory Council, hoping that good reasons would prevail.

“ My attention has been drawn to a list making the rounds on social media, purportedly by a group, the Obidient Movement Advisory Council, wherein my name was listed as a member of the Supporting Advisory Council.

“I need to state clearly that I was not consulted by the organisers of the group before my name was included in the said list.

“I must also state clearly that I am the state chairman of the Labour Party in Rivers State under the leadership of Barrister Julius Abure.

“I can therefore not take on the burden of becoming a member of the Supporting Advisory Council of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council,” she said.

Peter Obi is biting more than he can chew, is he the chairman of the party, why appoint people without the party. These are the people preaching rule of law.

First of all, at this point, I could say that it is Margaret that is the head of the house, I can bet my two big balls that Obi is not in control. Margaret is the one pulling the house together. Because it has clearly shown that Obi lacks leadership character and charisma.
Secondly, how can you come into a party that rescued you and gave you a platform almost free of charge and then turn around to usurp the party structure and hierarchy, having no regards for the party itself. Who are those advising Obi?, who are his team?, do they have sense?, I don't think so.
How can you be having a gang or circus within the same party, what's the meaning of Obidients movement or Obidient advisory council within Labour Party?, does Labour Party not have a council or NWC?.
Look at it, they already have a name and a logo that's different from that of Labour Party, then why can't Obi and his members park their loads out of Labour Party and then go register their own party?. Obi is committing an act of insurrection in Labour Party, a disrespect for the party constitution, criminals committing criminality. He can't try this elsewhere, he can't.
Well, let Abure enjoy it, it's payback time.
