PRESS RELEASE

PETER OBI & COALITION - CLARIFICATION

The Obidient Movement has been inundated with calls from our members within and outside the country, including other members of the public, regarding a media publication claiming that our principal, Peter Obi, has been offered a running mate position to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the new coalition being formed ahead of 2027.

Even though the publication is imaginary to the author, we find it appropriate to react, in view of possible far-reaching misconception, A the public space.

While frank and cordial engagements with our partners and stakeholders towards a coalition continue amicably, the Obidient Movement would like to state emphatically that there is no truth or basis to the reports whatsoever.

Without any risk of contradiction, we would like to reiterate that Mr Obi has maintained that his objective and his involvement In a coalition, is to provide a united front against and to tackle issues of bad governance, corruption, hunger, poverty, poor healthcare, out of school children and the myriad of other problems daily afflicting the people of Nigeria.

We want politics that Is progressive, standing firmly with the people and serving the great people of Nigeria and not politics just for the sake of grabbing power.

At this point in time, Mr Peter Obi remains in the Labour party, and if ever this changes, he will make that announcement himself.

He had better accept that because that is the surest way for to become the president later. That coalition is the only one that can uproot Emilokan in 2027

Tracka:
Peter Obi would have stick with Atiku. It would have been a serious headache for Tinubu

Hezzyluv:
Instead of Atiku, let Tinubu continue I beg.

I even read that Atiku will only run for one term. That na lie from the pit of hell.

Arostar2023:
No, Atiku had no business contesting under PDP in 2023. That singular decision resulted in the implosion of PDP. It was the turn of the South...

Hezzyluv:
Instead of Atiku, let Tinubu continue I beg.

I even read that Atiku will only run for one term. That na lie from the pit of hell.

PDPdestroyer:
Going by the comments of the most radical Obidients on nairaland, since this news broke, it seems the Ibos have finally admitted that their messiah cannot defeat Tinubu in a national election, hence, the need for him to run on the shoulders of a bigger politician in the mould of Atiku
