Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has dismissed the attempt by the party to create a directorate for the ‘Obidient Movement.’
Obi specifically said that the ‘Obidient Movement’ is not a
directorate of any particular political party.
Recall that the Labour Party had appointed eight
people to pilot the affairs of the ‘Obidient’ Directorate.
The party described the appointment as part of its repositioning efforts towards integrating millions of Nigerian youths, particularly the ‘Obidient’ family, into the larger family of the party.
However, in a statement on Wednesday via his X handle, the
former Anambra State Governor insisted that the ‘Obidient movement’ is far
beyond a particular political party.
According to him, it’s a diverse and inclusive collective
that transcends traditional political, religious, and ethnic affiliations.
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.”
