 win in the 2027 general elections.){kind=link}
Peter Obi’s supporters, popularly known as Obidients have commenced with plans not to allow All Progressives Congress (APC) win in the 2027 general elections.
Obidients vowed to increase their efforts in 2023 presidential election in order to make their candidate reach the Aso Rock Villa.
It was during the conference organised by the Delta Obidient Elders’ Council in Asaba, the Delta state capital, on Saturday, November 30, 2024 that they made a promise to work harder to achieve the goal.
The welcome address was delivered by the state chairman of the Delta Obidient Elders’ Council, Chief Chris Biose, who appreciated all the Obidients nationwide and in the diaspora for their support.
“It was so remarkable that other political parties could not believe their eyes when the Obidients garnered over 10 million votes for Mr. Peter Obi within a few months of campaigning.
“On behalf of the Delta Obidient Elders’ Council, I have the great honour to warmly welcome to Asaba our vibrant Obidients from all 25 local government areas of Delta State, as well as leaders of the Movement from across the country.
He further encouraged the Obidients to prepare for the upcoming election.
“It is time to prepare to re-enact the magic of 25 February 2023 with greater intensity and finality. The electorate that supported Mr. Peter Obi is still here—disappointed, but still desirous of good governance. How do we re-enlist them in the struggle for a New Nigeria?
“Obidients is not just about protest marches or online media activism. They are concerned with key issues of the National Question. Bearing in mind the ruthlessly exploitative and anti-people ethos of the Nigerian ruling class, Obidients yearn for a New Nigeria. This entails dismantling the political structure that sustains the present system of electoral, political, social, and economic injustice in Nigeria.”
Peter Obi, who joined the conference via Zoom, highlighted the importance of early awareness, stating that the title of the event, ‘Reawakening and Harmonising the Obidient Movement for a New Nigeria,’ is linked with the country’s economy today.
