Yunusa Tanko, Obidient Movement, national coordinator says members of the movement are in the in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and even in the presidential villa.
Tanko who stated this in an interview with The Sun said all the Obidient members are demanding is good governance which Peter Obi will provide if elected president.
“Interestingly, you remember towards the 2023 general elections, a lot of Nigerians, especially the youths, decided to take the bull by the horns and really challenged the establishment as regards to misgovernance and the way in which people politic in Nigeria and at the same time to demand for good governance. And this came out of statements and actions, records of the former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, who was able to galvanise the Nigerian youths, speaking to them in a manner they understand”.
“Peter Obi’s action and character challenged them to be voluntarily involved. That also led to about 12.5 million of them coming out to register. And for the first time in the history of our country, a lot of people travelled back home from outside the country to come in and be part of the electoral process. Those actions and messages were simply issues of the four C’s, credibility, character, consistency, and compassion”.
“All of these, some might even intend them to be seven, point towards good governance. And that particular process was done voluntarily, where people moved in, sponsored most of the things that they did by themselves. And at the end of it all, a name was coined, called the Obedient Movement”.
“The Obidient Movement is simply demanding for good governance. You’ll find them everywhere, even in government, even in the Presidential Villa. Every Nigerian who wants Nigeria to be better always finds a way of saying that, look, we need good governance in this country”.
“Therefore, as we move along, it became very important that particular ambitious organisation be turned into a well-choreographed organisation that can take care of all of the interests, so that we can use that energy to continue to demand for good governance, irrespective of the political party. But most importantly, the message of Mr. Peter Obi. So, the Obidient Movement is not about political party. It was just a movement demanding good governance. You can find them anywhere, even in the ruling party, as we speak”.
