Obi Still Consulting, Obidient Movement Blasts ADC Over Ultimatum | #NwokeukwuMascot
News
In a press release signed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, the group accused the ADC of attempting to alter agreed resolutions midway, stressing that Obi would not be stampeded into making political decisions without proper consultation.
The statement titled “RE: ULTIMATUM TO MR. PETER OBI BY THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC)” reads in full: “Our attention has been drawn to the recent statement released by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) concerning the resolutions of the Coalition and our role within it.
“We wish to restate our position clearly. While we remain fully committed to the vision of the Coalition and acknowledge the adoption of the ADC as the coalition platform, it is on record that His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi aligned with the coalition’s position after the Anambra State Governorship Election, extending to the 2027 General Elections. This adoption and pronouncement were made publicly by the party. We are therefore concerned as to why the resolution is now being altered midway into the agreement.
“H.E. Peter Obi, as a leader with a broad constituency, has always taken time to consult widely before making major political decisions. He did so before joining the coalition, and he must also do so before responding to any ultimatum.
“As the Obidient Movement, being part of the main consulting bloc, we are particularly concerned about how the party intends to zone its presidential ticket. Considering that the presidency is currently held by the South, issues of equity and fairness must guide such decisions if the party truly aims to secure victory in the 2027 elections.
“We are equally interested in how the party zones its principal offices within the coalition, as this will ensure justice, fairness, and inclusivity, factors that will enable us to mobilize effectively across the country.
“It must be emphasized that H.E. Peter Obi is not desperate to be President of Nigeria. His ultimate mission is to see Nigeria work, to lift people out of poverty, to improve the economy, education, healthcare, and security. These were the reasons he joined the coalition in the first place targeted towards good governance which are the core values of the Obidient Movement.”
The Obidient Movement further warned the ADC against playing politics of blackmail, insisting that the coalition must uphold its earlier resolutions if it genuinely desires to challenge the ruling party in 2027.
Tanko concluded by reminding the ADC that Obi’s broad national appeal and credibility remain the movement’s strongest asset, urging the party to focus on equity, justice, and inclusivity rather than divisive ultimatums.
