The Obidient Movement has asked supporters to remain calm amid reports that Peter Obi is considering a move to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). This follows speculation of a split in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with Obi and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso reportedly preparing to leave the party. In a statement released on Saturday, the movement confirmed Obi is holding high-level consultations with political allies and stakeholders across Nigeria and the diaspora.
The discussions are aimed at identifying a strategic path forward that aligns with the movement's values of integrity, accountability, and citizen-driven governance. "These engagements are focused on determining the most strategic and effective path forward in the best interest of the Nigerian people," the statement said. It acknowledged growing concerns over political developments but urged Obidients not to be influenced by speculation.
Obi has not yet made a final decision, the group stated, but will soon address the public to clarify his position and the movement's next steps. "Peter Obi remains fully committed to this mission and will, in due course, formally address the Obidient Movement and the general public," the statement added. The announcement comes as political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
