FCT, Abuja - Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, said the Obidient Movement is not a directorate of any particular political party in Nigeria,

He said the movement is not situated within any political party in Nigeria.

“Any individual or individuals claiming to be leaders of this non-existent directorate are simply not members of the broader Obidient Movement.”

'OBIdient' movement driven by the masses
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Obi's political associate, Senator Victor Umeh says Nigerians took over the campaign of the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.
According to Umeh, the 'ObIdient' movement is now bigger than Obi himself and he has no control over it.
