Peter Obi's 64th Birthday: Obidient Group Suspends Call For Donations by emkz(op): 2:59pm On Jun 24, 2025
Due to public outcry following calls for donations for a birthday rally for Peter Obi's 64th birthday planned rally, the Obidient Group has released a statement to announce the suspension of donations.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Clarifying the Purpose of the July 19th National Rally.
We have received feedback and concerns regarding the recent announcement of donation accounts of the July 19th Rally as a birthday celebration for H.E Peter Obi.
We acknowledge that the release of donation account details and communication without adequate context may have created confusion and raised concerns. We take full responsibility for that and we sincerely apologise too.

However, let us state clearly that,
the July 19th National Birthday Rally is a day of national reflection, civic action, and a recommitment to the values that brought us together as a movement.
This rally is being organised under the theme: “FROM COMPASSION TO PURPOSE: Obidients in Action for a New Possible Nigeria”.

It is a people-powered day of service, mobilisation, and political awakening across Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT. It is a call to Obidients to step out in unity, compassion, and responsibility. On this day, Obidients will feed the hungry, visit the sick, assist the less privileged, engage with grassroots communities, and raise political consciousness in communities across the country.
A significant focus of the rally is to amplify nationwide demand for Electoral Reform under the banner #PassOurINECReform. Citizens will use this moment to urge the National Assembly and key institutions to act urgently to reform our electoral system. We are pushing for reforms that ensure credible elections, political inclusion, accountability, and trust in Nigeria’s democracy.

While H.E Peter Obi's integrity and values have inspired this movement, the rally is not necessarily about celebrating an individual alone, it is also about confronting our national crisis with the values H.E Peter Obi represents which are discipline, empathy, accountability, and a deep commitment to the common good.

Moving forward, we will ensure better clarity and coordination.

The call for donations has been suspended and instead we encourage you to allocate your resources and lend a helping hand to those in need.

We appreciate your understanding, your continued trust and most importantly, your participation. This rally is for every Nigerian who believes that this country can still work and who is willing to take action to make it so.
Let us gather for introspection not to only cheer, but to reflect not for entertainment, but for engagement and encouragement to commit to a mission.


On July 19th, 2025, we will rise Obidient and focused for the people and for Nigeria.

A New Nigeria is Possible.

For fairness and transparency, the Obidient Group needs to clarify the following:

1. Was Peter Obi aware of their efforts to do public fundraising for his birthday rally, and did he gice approval?

2. How much has been realized from yesterday? It is only fair that the collections are publicized. It is also fair if collections are returned to donors.

3. Since the generality of the Obidient Movement was not informed before they publicized their letter, it is appropriate for Yunusa Tanko, Morris Monye and the lady to issue an apology.

If MMM and CEBEX can make money, it is unfair to blame those who want to play on the emotions of the weak to cash out. Remember when people from a certain part of the country were donating money to one dude who was in Finland and coordinating the termination of their own people.

As soon as he was picked up, donations dried up and killings stopped drastically.

What nonsense does national birthday rally means?.. These guys are only good at pure entertainment.
Re: Peter Obi's 64th Birthday: Obidient Group Suspends Call For Donations by emkz(op):
The Obidient Movement so far seems like a comedy of forced errors.

Those spearheading the group have no clue of mass mobilization. They cannot even develop a digital system to get a demographic distribution of the group. They had announced an Obidient digital card some weeks back; what ever became of it?

What we see of the group is a people who love the idea of being part of something without doing he required work, including thinking. They just oppose for the sake of it. They cannot organize themselves. Even those who swore PitObi was the next best thing after big chest and ikebe are singing different songs, calling PitObi a betrayer.

My advice to the Obidient Movement. Work on branding Obi. Actually educate him on answering questions intelligently. His past interviews are being replayed and his limitations are becoming obvious. Buhari was a terrible brand, but from 2013 to 2015, Buhari was rebranded to the point that even the tag of an Islamist died a natural death.

A first point to start is to advice him to do away with those Indonesian outfits. A second strategy would be to advice that he stops talking about China, Indonesia, Bangladesh and reeling statistics. Let him also stop talking about having one wrist-watch, one shoe and one singlet. Let him start talking about practical solutions and he can win more people over.

From social media, he seems to have lost more fans than he gained following the revelations of his limitations.

Okay, let's assume that PO was unaware of the letter before it was made public yesterday, If he does nothing to those trio in the letter, then he is complicit. How can his so called aide run something as big as that without informing him?

This Obidient group is nothing but a format to run street on the gullible. I also know that PO was aware but his nature of being indecisive at important moments would have made him not to tell his aides no.

Peter Obi that dashes out N20 million often at most of his visitations does not need donation for his personal birthday.

What sort of scam is that? If that is the case, then he needs to adjust his priorities.
Re: Peter Obi's 64th Birthday: Obidient Group Suspends Call For Donations by Nobody: 4:37pm On Jun 24, 2025

Chai. See pain.

Please sir, can you talk about BAT’s birthday. This is simply an Obidient business. What they do with their private funds is their private business.
