Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, has criticised the organisation for attempting to establish a directorate for the “Obidient Movement.”
Obi declared unequivocally that the “Obidient Movement” is not a political party directorate.
According to the ZINGTIE, the Labour Party designated eight individuals to oversee the operations of the “Obidient” Directorate.
According to the party, the appointment is a component of its repositioning attempts to incorporate millions of Nigerian youth—especially those from the “Obidient” family—into the party’s broader family.
However, the former governor of Anambra State emphasised in a message sent on Wednesday via his X Twitter that the “Obidient movement” transcends all political affiliations.
He stated it is an inclusive and diversified group not limited by conventional political, religious, or ethnic affinities.
He said: “I like to categorically state that the Obidient Movement is not directorate of any particular political party. Any individual or individuals claiming to be leaders of this non-existent directorate are simply not members of the broader Obidient Movement.
“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. Its membership spans across Africa and the globe, comprising individuals from various backgrounds, including rural communities, and public, private, and corporate entities, united by a shared vision for a new and better Nigeria. Guided by the principles of adaptive and transformative change, progress, discipline, and democratic values, the Obidient Movement advocates for fairness, equity, inclusivity, and justice.
“It is committed to a strictly accountable and responsible code of government. Our members are committed to contributing to the realization of a better future for Nigeria through the New Nigeria project, anchored on loyalty, integrity, and democratic values.
“The Obidient Movement seeks to foster positive change through a commitment to integrity, honesty, and accountability, rejecting deceitful behaviours.
“We serve as a beacon of hope for a reimagined Nigeria, where leadership is grounded in character, capacity, competence, compassion and the well-being of all citizens.
“Let this serve as a clarification that the Obidient Movement operates independently of any political party, and its membership is not limited to any particular affiliation.
“Our focus remains steadfast on driving positive change and promoting a new Nigeria for all. This is who we are and will remain for all time.”
