This was contained in a statement by its Coordinator, Dr Yunusa Tanko.

The emergence of the OBIDIENT movement has profoundly transformed Africa’s political landscape, particularly in Nigeria, where it has disrupted the norms of traditional politics. This movement, driven by passionate young Nigerians, has mobilized unprecedented support for Mr. Peter Obi, establishing itself as a formidable force in the country’s political arena.

Harnessing various media platforms, the OBIDIENT movement has effectively spread its message, engaged voters, and challenged the dominance of Nigeria’s major political parties. This new wave of political activism has sparked increased youth participation and reshaped the strategies employed in political campaigns across the nation.

What started as a grassroots initiative to reform Nigeria’s stagnant political system has evolved into a global socio-ideological phenomenon. The movement resonates deeply with citizens who are tired of corruption, insecurity, and economic hardship. Today, the OBIDIENT movement stands as one of Africa’s most impactful campaigns, inspiring people worldwide.

The driving force behind the movement is a collective desire for change, transparency, and accountability. The movement embodies the aspirations of a generation determined to reclaim Nigeria’s future and build a better nation for all its citizens.

It represents a unique ideological culture in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa, rooted in the principles of volunteerism and unwavering commitment. It is driven by citizens who are disillusioned with retrogressive leadership, unfulfilled potential, and outdated stereotypes.

The movement transcends political affiliations, socio-cultural backgrounds, ethnic identities, religious beliefs, and racial boundaries, uniting Nigerians and Africans under a shared vision for progress.

The OBIDIENT Movement Ethos: The 5Cs for a New Nigeria

Competence: Deliver results.

Character: Lead with integrity.

Capacity: Handle complexity.

Credibility: Earn trust.

Compassion: Put the people first.
