Abiku Abubakar is Entitled to Compete on Any Platform, Affirms Obidient Movement

In the political landscape of Nigeria, the Obidient Movement has made some intriguing announcements, sparking speculation about the future of former Vice President, Peter Obi.

The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has confirmed that the Movement stands with Obi, regardless of his political future or party affiliations. This declaration of loyalty was made without any mention of a specific political party.

Tanko emphasized that the Obidient Movement, with followers across the country and beyond, has resolved to stand with their presidential candidate anywhere he goes. This statement suggests a possible association with Obi, although no official confirmation about his political future has been made.

Rumours of Obi's potential return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been circulating, but no new information has been provided to substantiate these claims.

Tanko also urged political parties to strengthen internal democracy and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to guarantee free, fair, and credible elections in 2027. He stated that democracy guarantees freedoms, including the freedom to associate and choose election participation.

On the matter of other candidates contesting in the 2027 presidential election, Tanko stated that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, along with other candidates, has the right to contest on any platform, just like any other person. However, the Obidient Movement's stance on Abubakar's participation in the election has not been clarified.

Regarding the African Democratic Congress (ADC), there is currently no public information about who will run for the Nigerian presidency in 2027 if Obi were to leave the party. Yunusa Tanko did not comment on any alleged donation favoring a specific region.

Tanko concluded by stating that the minimum expectation of Nigerians is a credible electoral process that truly reflects the people's wishes and consolidates Nigeria's standing as the giant of Africa.

In summary, while the Obidient Movement has declared its loyalty to Peter Obi and expressed support for him, no official announcement regarding his political future or party affiliations has been made. The political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, with the 2027 presidential election promising to be a significant event.
