The Labour Party 2023 presidential torchbearer, Peter Obi’s supporters, otherwise known as Obidients, have started making moves to ensure the downfall of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
The supporters, under the aegis of the Obidients Movement, vowed to surpass their efforts in the 2023 election to push their candidate into the Aso Rock Villa.
The group made the pledge at the conference of the All Obidient Forum, organised by the Delta Obidient Elders’ Council in Asaba, the Delta state capital, on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
The state chairman of the Delta Obidient Elders’ Council, Chief Chris Biose, who delivered a welcome address, thanked all Obidients nationwide and in the diaspora for their heroic role, individually and collectively, in various support groups.
He expressed appreciation to the Obidient youths across political divide, who engaged in the mobilisation leading to the defeat of the entrenched APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta during the last presidential election.
“On behalf of the Obidient Movement, I heartily thank all the Obidients nationwide and in the Diaspora for the heroic role we played individually in various support groups.

“Obidients is not just about protest marches or online media activism. They are concerned with key issues of the National Question. Bearing in mind the ruthlessly exploitative and anti-people ethos of the Nigerian ruling class, Obidients yearn for a New Nigeria. This entails dismantling the political structure that sustains the present system of electoral, political, social, and economic injustice in Nigeria,” Biose said.
Joining the conference via Zoom, Obi highlighted the importance of early mobilisation, noting that the theme of the event, ‘Reawakening and Harmonising the Obidient Movement for a New Nigeria,’ is particularly timely, given the country’s current economic challenges.
Other participants who spoke via Zoom, including Prof. Pat Utomi, Delly Ajufo, Chris Iyovwaye, and Dr. Yunusa Tanko, lamented the economic impasse and called on the youths to mobilise early.
