“Obidient Movement is Bigger than Labour Party” – Yunusa Tanko
By Reporter 3
Tanko Yunusa, the chief spokesman of the Obi-Datti organization, has stated that the Obidient Movement is bigger than the Labour Party. He made this statement in an interview on Channels Television on Friday, 7 June 2024, monitored by DAILY POST.
According to him, “It’s bigger than the Labour Party. It is so because it is a move of its own that has a life of its own. What they are interested in is good governance. Even if the Labour Party is doing something wrong, they can challenge it. Let me go further. Even His Excellency, Peter Obi, if he does something that is not aligned with good governance, we would challenge it.”
Yunusa said the ideology of the Obidient Movement is all about good governance, which Peter Obi preaches and is known for. “We are loyal to the messages that connect to good governance and Peter Obi is championing that particular good governance,” he stated.
Recall that the Labour Party lately renamed a directorate of the party named the Directorate of Obidient Affairs after a backlash from the public.
According to the National Publicity Secretary of LP Obiora Ifoh, the Obidient Directorate has now been renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.
“Following the controversies arising from the creation of the Directorate of OBIDIENT Affairs, in the party, the Directorate is hereby renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration,” Obiorah said on Thursday, 6 June 2024.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the move, Obi, on his X page late Wednesday, 5 June 2024, said the movement is beyond the LP and cuts across party, gender, and ethnic divides.
He wrote, “There may be a youth mobilization directorate in political parties, but the Obidient Movement is far beyond a particular political party. The Obidient Movement is a diverse and inclusive collective that transcends traditional political, religious, and ethnic affiliations.
“It is not domiciled within any particular party or headquartered in any particular part of the country,” he stated.
