Peter Obi is facing a coordinated effort by the Bola Tinubu-led government to block his path to the 2027 presidential election, the Obidient Movement has claimed. The group's national coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of instigating internal conflicts, court cases, and leadership crises within opposition parties linked to Obi, including the Labour Party and the African Democratic Congress. These actions, the movement alleged, are designed to dismantle any viable platform Obi might use to contest the next election. Tanko asserted that the timing and pattern of the political turmoil in those parties point to orchestrated interference by agents of the Tinubu administration. The Obidient Movement maintained that Obi remains the most prominent opposition figure capable of mounting a serious challenge to the APC in 2027, despite his recent exits from the LP and ADC amid legal and leadership disputes. The group affirmed its continued support for Obi as he weighs his next political steps. This development follows Obi's recent move, alongside former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress, a party that has since seen growing attention from opposition-aligned figures. Supporters of both politicians have called for unity and a focus on national development rather than prolonged legal battles.
