Obi
Supporters of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have reacted to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his vow not to step aside for any aspirant in his quest to secure the African Democratic Congress ticket for the 2027 presidential race.
The Obidient Movement, Obi’s cult-like followership, dismissed Atiku’s posture as “mind games,” insisting their principal would never be caught in the murky politics of vote-buying or dollarised delegate inducement that dominate Nigeria’s political parties’ primaries.
Speaking with The PUNCH, the National Coordinator of the group and Obi’s former campaign spokesman, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, said Obi’s political ideology stood in sharp contrast to the transactional politics that other politicians had normalised.
He said, “I’m happy Atiku is saying what he has in mind. It shows there’s something we can hold him accountable for. But Peter Obi is willing to bring new political ideology into the system. Punch
