RESIGNATION AS DIRECTOR OF MOBILIZATION, OBIDIENT MOVEMENT & STRUCTURE.

Today I stepped down as Director of Mobilization of the Obidient Movement

ITS IMPORTANT YOU READ TO THE END SO NOTHING IS MISCONSTRUED

Almost a year down the line, most of our short term, medium term and long term plans have not been met. I won't be part of optics and no work.

The poor showing at the Anambra election has also made my position untenable,

I and my businesses have also been harassed non-stop by sympathizers and instruments of this government. It's a role that puts a target on
your back. I have had to have kept quiet so as not to discourage anyone or be made not to look like a whiner. But it's taken its toll on me and my family. They can't understand any of this really.

I have spent approximately N40m of personal
funds (My own money) on donating for Obidient
events, mobilization travels across the country,
funding committees, evangelizing about the
movement with calls for mobilization on radio
airways in the rural areas, support local structures on ground. It goes on and on and on. The expenses never ever stops (and they are mostly unplanned and sudden)

All were self raised. By myself. From me
Through me. Let someone else carry that
mantle. Dr. Tanko is privy to some of these. I
have transaction reciepts of almost every
activity done.

No money was given to the Directorate of
Mobilization. There's no bank account even for
the directorate. Infact Mr. Peter Obi has never
asked what we are doing in mobilization.
Nothing of such. No communication. Nothing. I
spent those personal monies because I believe in
the movement as a vehicle for a new Nigeria. I
also don't expect any repayment back from
anyone.

I have been blessed in life with a small fortune
I'm content and a very simple young man. Those
who know me personally know this.

As Director

1. Helped spearhead the registration of
Obidients online in conjunction with the IT
directorate. There were (and still) glitches with the IT team. I hope the IT directorate
fine tunes it and sorts it out. The next leader
of the directorate is to spearhead door to
door mobilization to reach every nook and
cranny of the country. We've laid the
foundation with the online registration. It's
just to execute on ground with volunteers
and get a clean sweep. We have just 3
months left to do this. (I have submitted the
blueprint for that to the Operations team).

2. I helped spearhead the activation of
dormant support groups alongside Dr.
Tanko. Most felt left out. We've given them
an umbrella. We had a support group
convention in Abuja during PO's book
launch in June 2025 and absorbed them
into the movement.

3. I helped structure the movement into 6
regional bodies, providing support from the
centre.

4. I contacted and met all the leaders in each
state. Visited everyone in their backyard to
tell them that we see what they are doing

5. Obidient LG offices in every state. Some
parts of SW Nigeria and Delta state already
have these. The next director is to ensure every other state has this (He or she is to work with the state coordinators on this)

6. I created LG structures (it's still small) for all
states in Nigeria. Abuja being most active
Northeast being least active. The new
leader must expand on this. This will be the
nucleus of our polling unit agents
independent of any party we choose.

7. I created a Research team for the Obidient
Movement where we researched the ills of
the APC govt, highlighted and disseminated
to all Nigerians every bi-weekly via short
videos. I discovered that gap and immediately filled it by getting volunteers onboard and worked on it. They churn out
these materials regularly. Those cute short
videos you see.

8. I created the Obidient Movement Facebook
page and paid a staff to handle it.
Facebook is a huge untapped platform.
made Nana Kazure co-admin also to
monitor things.

9. We kickstarted the Obidient NextGen. It is a
University campus youth network ably
assisted by my secretary, Directorate of
mobilization, Mr. Monday Otene. We
leveraged the goodwill PO has among
young people to harness young voters

10. Supported the Delta state Obidient
Congress

11. Singlehandly raised N2million (very poor
amount) directly to the Anambra
Gubernatorial Candidate's campaign bank
account for polling unit adoption for the
Anambra election to boost our chances in
the poll. (I have all receipts)

12. PVC awareness drive. Paid and sponsored
awareness drive nationwide notably Delta
state, Jigawa, Nassarawa. I sent directly to
the state coordinators on my own dime.

⚫️ Had engagements with tech experts in the
UK to mass produce cheap (very cheap)
body cams from China for polling unit
agents. (I had also scheduled a trip to China
which i have now canceled). The
prerequisite for getting paid as an agent is
to submit those body cams. After our
volunteers have reviewed footage, you get
paid your balance directly to your bank
account all under a week after election. This
would be evidence that you were indeed an
agent. Many will volunteer for free but some
parts of Nigeria most will demand
payments. Great resources would be
expended for this but it is very necessary for
accountability and would put agents on
their toes as thev won't sell out due to them
knowing they are being watched. The
cameras will also be retrieved and used for
election cycle for whoever the Movement endorses (I imagine it will be

⚫️ The next mobilization director MUST follow
up on this. We have not closed this out yet

Mr. Peter Obi has recieved a copy of this
resignation via WhatsApp. He will accept the
resignation.

The National Cooridnator and my state
coordinator have also received a copy. All future
correspondence on the Obidient Movement can
be passed directly to the National Coordinator
Dr. Yunusa Tanko,

It has been a privilege serving Obidients.

ON THE FUTURE FOR ME: I intend traveling the
world and iust have a good time. I will focus
more on my businesses. I just completed my
School of Politics, Policy and Governance (SPPG
leadership) course and will continue with a
business course at Oxford/Cambridge (not made
up my mind vet) next year. I might also seek
elective office (if Electoral reforms sail through,
will. If they don't, I won't bother wasting my time
or money). I will also continue to advise the other
leaders of the movement (They have become
family. We talk everyday) where necessary but I
no longer want to be at the forefront anvmore. I will also keep speaking about a new Nigeria and will always condemn bad governance and the APC. All well-meaning Nigerians must continue this activism

ON The FUTURE OF THE OBIDIENT
MOVEMENT: I will advise that proper political/
operations consultants to coordinate the polling
unit structure and a large media team are
engaged and funded by Mr. Peter Obi himself to
help run the campaign in turbo fashion. There is
no time. I keep screaming it but it's like I've been
screaming into a wall. They have to be on salary/
contract and given a budget complete with
weekly KPIs and also do Monthly Performance
Review (MPRs) to know where and where the
movement is, then he can reward and sanction
appropriately. You can't run a campaign simply
from general goodwill. This is not 2023. The
element of surprise is gone! Also no one can be
held accountable from "general goodwill". They
will work at their own leisure. Afterall it's
goodwill. This has to be a serious business for
him.

Polling unit agents mobilization is key. That must
be happening quick. The lapse was showed
again in Anambra election

Voters registration mobilization is very very
important. This must be done LG by LG. New
voters must be captured. Except for rag-tag
efforts by private individuals (me included) this
has been poor so far.

All (I repeat all) the current directorates are
using their personal funds and it's simply not
sustainable if we want to see results. Not a
single kobo was/is assigned to any of them. Mr.
Obi needs to show more interest in what the
Movement is doing. Obidients outside don't see
or understand that.

Some think we are somehow benefiting from
being directors. I see the comments and they are
very discouraging. Very thankless indeed. Infact
one of the criteria for being director is that you
have to be financially capable to carry that
directorate on your own.

The Key task that must be done for
mobilization directorate is having polling units
agents in all polling units in Nigeria. I have
been shouting this forever. The lapse was
shown in Anambra election. For me, every
other thing is really secondary. It is currently
at 10% completion for now. Dr. Tanko can
confirm this too. We have barely 11 months to complete this. The next director must have his
eyes on that clock. Time is running out.
Occasionally demand from the next director of
mobilization on the situation report on this

Thanks and God bless you all.

How Morris Monye Was Scammed Of N2.2m
https://www.nairaland.com/8528747/how-morris-monye-scammed-n2.2m

Peter Obi should do better if he really wants to be a politician and run for president. One man MOPOL or 'strategic aloofness' no dey work for politics and for governance. Obviously, his aloofness created an opening for APC to target and humiliatingly won his PU in Anambra State governorship election.

Obedient movement is a God-given structure for Peter Obi to build on and implement his vision for Nigeria. But if he couldn't sew this organic and goodwill-driven group of young people into a potential political force, I mince no word in saying that he lacks what it takes to run Nigeria with all its complexity. And this is sad.

President Tinubu is currently not doing an excellent job but it seems the opposition led by Atiku and Obi offers little to be cheerful about.

Sad narrative about a country destined to lead black race.

He is a mole and all Obidient should cuzz him out.

Peter Obi can win 2027 election and he should contest and not allow political jobbers like Morris to dampen his morale.

Maybe he wants to restrategise other than jump sheep

I hereby authorize PENGUIN2 to take over .

Why are they all resigning these days na? 🤥🤥

Obidients, una never do opposition reach 2 years all of una don dey resign. From Okupe to Yesufu to this one. Isn't it too early?

Tinubu was in opposition for over 20 years na.

Let's cancel him. Perhaps, he has corn in his pockets.

See this one
Dem tell u say Obi still get i ntrest in the Erection sorry Election

Shelve your advise somewhere else

I think President Tinubu contracted Mal. El-Rufai to make way for his 2027.

El-Rufai came up with coalition agenda and he distracted Atiku from holding and building PDP for next election. In the same vein, they distracted Peter Obi from working and making LP stronger for next election.

With the look of things now….. I doubt if there’s a contender.

May God save us from these politicians playing us while they are all together behind to loot us.

I have spent approximately N40m of personal
funds (My own money) on donating for Obidient
events, mobilization travels across the country,
funding committees,

All these are your investment in the hope that if PO wins you will get compensated. Don’t tell us crook and bull stories

If na you dem dey carry go where you no know you no go resign?

In short, he just said it doesn't pay to still be supporting Pitobi and being part of the disObidoent movement.

Imagine, that obidients could not even get party agents in the last elections in Anambra.

Are there no obidient LP members in Anambra of all places to volunteer to be LP poll agents?

Also, from the resignation rant, its clear that Obi himself never supported the LP candidate instead he must have secretly voted for the ADC candidate.

This guy has seen how obi will sell them down the river without any consideration to party affiliation.

Also, I liked how he admitted churning out Obidient propaganda across SM.

Richtaiwo will take over

These people still dont get it. The Obidient movement is faceless. Even Obi is not the sole leader. All well-meaning Nigerians are the leaders of the movement

Whose next?

Everybody don dey run before the real business

All were self raised. By myself. From me
Through me. Let someone else carry that
mantle.

PO is busy donating money to buy votes before hand. Change still remain, he will pay you too.
Abi he no go give shishi?


They all did it in expectation of winning and be appointed to take political positions.

One after the other, let the unraveling continue

Who da hell is he? I dont know him

Obi no dey give shishi.

So the guy was infected with Ebinpawanism

House of cards, he don do 2+2.

Are we not right about Obi's organic movement now.. They helped APC to defeat Atiku.

Obidient movement must be taken seriously. Nigeria politics requires a lot of money cos people are hungry.

Structure must be put in place to gain relevance in the hearts of the people

Even if everybody resigns, I stand with Peter Obi. His principles and legacies are second to no Nigerian politician. Again, underestimate Peter Obi at your own peril. That man will pull the surprising card at the last minute like he did in 2023 and won the stolen election.
This I have seen...mark my words today.

There you go, obidient laptop and data boys. This is not restricted to Ameachi boys alone. We see them everyday on nairaland and twitter.

He has just openly admitted to their propaganda

As wild as your imagination is, it makes those 2 candidates to be largely unintelligent.

You forgot, we no de give shishi?
