According to Tanko Yunusa, the chief spokesperson for the Obi-Datti movement, the Obidient Movement is larger than the Labour Party.

Yunusa made this claim in an interview that ZINGTIE watched on Channels Television on Friday.

According to him, “It’s bigger than the Labour Party. It is so because it is a move of its own that has a life of its own. What they are interested in is good governance.

“Even if the Labour Party is doing something wrong, they are able to challenge it. Let me go further. Even His Excellency Peter Obi, if he does something that is not aligned with good governance, we would challenge it.”

According to a spokeswoman for the Obi-Datti organisation, Peter Obi promotes good governance, which is central to the Obidient Movement.

“They are loyal to the messages that connect to good governance, and Peter Obi is championing that particular good governance,” he stated.

Recall how, in response to criticism, the Labour Party renamed one of its directorates, the Directorate of Obidient Affairs.

LP bows to pressure, renames ‘Obidient Directorate’

The Obidient Directorate has been renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration, according to LP Obiora Ifoh, National Publicity Secretary.

“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,” Obiorah said on Thursday.

“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,” he noted.

Following the action, Obi stated on his X page late on Wednesday that the movement transcends party, gender, and racial boundaries and goes beyond the LP.

He wrote, “There may be a youth mobilization directorate in political parties, but the Obidient Movement is far beyond a particular political party.

“The Obidient Movement is a diverse and inclusive collective that transcends traditional political, religious, and ethnic affiliations.

“It is not domiciled within any particular party or headquartered in any particular part of the country.”
