The OBIdient Movement has denied reports that its principal, Peter Obi, has been offered a running mate position to Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 coalition.
According to the movement, these reports are baseless and speculative, and they emphasise that Obi’s objective in any coalition would be to tackle issues like bad governance, corruption, poverty, and poor healthcare.
This was contained in a statement signed Monday by Nana Kazaure, Director, Strategic Communication & Media, Obidient Movement.
The OBIdient Movement stated that Peter Obi remains a member of the Labour Party and any change in his affiliation would be announced by him personally.
The statement advised against sensationalism and speculation, urging Nigerians and the media to focus on building a better country.
The movement’s denial comes amid ongoing discussions about potential coalitions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While acknowledging engagements with stakeholders, the OBIdient Movement reiterated that Obi’s participation in any coalition would be guided by goals focused on national development and governance, not opportunism.
The full statement is below;
The Obidient Movement has been inundated with calls from our members within and outside the country, including other members of the public, regarding a media publication claiming that our principal, @PeterObi, has been offered a running mate position to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the new coalition being formed ahead of 2027.
Even though the publication is imaginary to the author, we find it appropriate to react in view of possible far-reaching misconceptions in the public space.
While frank and cordial engagements with our partners and stakeholders towards a coalition continue amicably, the Obidient Movement would like to state emphatically that there is no truth or basis to the reports whatsoever.
Without any risk of contradiction, we would like to reiterate that Mr Obi has maintained that his objective and his involvement in a coalition, is to provide a united front against and to tackle issues of bad governance, corruption, hunger, poverty, poor healthcare, out of school children and the myriad of other problems daily afflicting the people of Nigeria.
We want politics that is progressive, standing firmly with the people and serving the great people of Nigeria and not politics just for the sake of grabbing power.
At this point in time, Mr @PeterObi remains in the Labour party, and if ever this changes, he will make that announcement himself.
The Obidient Movement would like to advise against sensationalism and speculation on these matters. At this difficult time, all Nigerians and the Media, inclusive, should emphasise and contribute to building a better country.
