THE OBIDIENT MOVEMENT HAS NO FACTIONS: DISGRUNTLED OPPORTUNISTS CANNOT TRADE OUR NAME FOR POLITICAL PATRONAGE
The leadership and global structure of the Obidient Movement wish to issue a clear response to recent misleading claims by individuals seeking to justify their self-serving political choices by inventing a so-called "faction" within our ranks.
It has become increasingly apparent that every disgruntled actor or political opportunist seeking relevance, legitimacy, or patronage now finds it convenient to invoke the name of the Obidient Movement. Let us state this unequivocally: the Obidient Movement is united, intact, and fully aligned with our principal, Peter Obi, and our National Coordinator, Dr. Yunusa Tanko. There are no factions, no authorized "generals" empowered to trade our structure, and no parallel leadership.
It is impossible to claim fidelity to the ideals of the Obidient Movement while defecting to a ruling party whose policies have inflicted immense hardship on Nigerians. The daily struggles faced by millions of citizens, from rising fuel costs to unaffordable food and school fees, are the direct consequences of the failures of the current administration led by Mr. Bola Tinubu.
While we empathize with the economic difficulties confronting these opportunists, hardship should never become an excuse to abandon principle. No one can claim to be fighting for a New Nigeria while partnering with the very government responsible for the suffering of millions. Trading the aspirations of Nigerian youths for temporary comfort, political appointments, or access to power is a betrayal of the millions who continue to invest their hope in this movement.
We therefore put the public, political stakeholders, and the media on notice: anyone engaging with opportunistic and unprincipled individuals claiming to represent the Obidient Movement does so entirely at their own risk. Such claims carry no legitimacy, no mandate, and no backing from the movement or millions of Nigerians who have placed their hope in Mr. Peter Obi. They are political dud cheques destined to bounce upon presentation.
The Obidient Movement remains a vibrant, organic, and highly motivated force focused on the task ahead and the 2027 election cycle. Our goal is to not only win the upcoming presidential election for our principal again like we did in 2023, but to also ensure that the votes count this time. We will not be distracted by transactional actors who have chosen political survival over conviction.
Signed,
Media & Communications Directorate

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

His Excellency Peter Obi and His Excellency Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are leaders who not only speak but also act. They consistently back their words with tangible results and meaningful actions. Their commitment to service, integrity, and leadership is reflected not just in what they say, but in what they do. True leadership is demonstrated through action, and they continue to set that example. Nigeria will be OK x.com/ARISEtv/status/2060860…
