According to Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the “Obidient Movement,” expressed confidence that Peter Obi has a good chance of winning the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking at a symposium in Onitsha, Anambra State, Tanko acknowledged that the Labour Party candidate was not elected in 2023 because of purported electoral fraud, but he also confirmed that the movement will be more ready for the following election cycle.
Tanko described the movement’s increased emphasis on youth empowerment, structure, and mobilization during the one-day event, “Repositioning the Obidient Movement for Greater Impact,” which was hosted by the Obidient Movement and Anambra State Support Groups. He emphasized that if people elect leaders who are dedicated to accountability and good administration, a “new Nigeria” is achievable.
“We are dedicated to promoting good governance and accountability,” Tanko said. “Obi has the potential to emerge as president in 2027 if we organize ourselves properly. We will ensure that our agents are thoroughly trained and prepared before the 2027 general election.”
Tanko emphasized that the movement aims to build a strong foundation for fair and credible elections. Reflecting on the 2023 elections, he noted that while critics accused the Labour Party of lacking political structure, Obi still garnered substantial support. However, Tanko claimed that electoral malpractice prevented a fair outcome.
“This time, history will not repeat itself. We will prepare thoroughly,” he assured the audience.
The symposium also highlighted the Obidient Movement’s plan to advocate for electoral reform through legislative efforts and public mobilization.
Tanko explained that they would bring their proposals to the National Assembly and rally public support in favor of fair electoral practices, both in the courts and on the streets.
“Even the North is dissatisfied with the current government,” he said. “We are committed to making a tangible impact by empowering Nigerian youths and advocating for justice, equity, and meaningful change.”
