The chief spokesman of the Obi-Datti organisation, Tanko Yunusa said the Obidient Movement is bigger than the Labour Party.
Yunusa stated this in an interview on Channels Television on
Friday.
He said, “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 that is 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.”
Yunusa said the Obidient Movement is all about good
governance which Obi preaches.
He said, “They are loyal to the messages that connect to
good governance and Peter Obi is championing that particular good governance.”
But, after a backlash, the Labour Party recently renamed a
directorate of the party named the Directorate of Obidient Affairs.
According to the National Publicity Secretary of LP Obiora
Ifoh, the Obidient Directorate is now renamed as the Directorate of
Mobilisation and Integration.
“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.”
In the wake of the move, Obi, on his X page late Wednesday,
said the movement is beyond the LP and cuts across party, gender, and ethnic
divides.
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.”
