Obidients Now Divided, Some Are Not With Us – Peter Obi

Obidients Now Divided, Some Are Not With Us – Peter Obi

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in 2023 election, Peter Obi believes that some members of the Obidient Movement are working against the Labour Party and acting as attack dogs for the opposition.

This is coming amid concerns that his followers, the Obidients (largely made up of anti-establishment Nigerian youths), have become an abrasive, unwieldy mob.

“Some of the Obidients, I must tell, or people they mentioned are Obidients, are not entirely people who are with us. The oppositions have come into it and are using it at times. But that’s nothing to worry about,” Mr Obi claimed in an interview aired Monday night on Arise TV.

He spoke against the backdrop of vile attacks the Obidients launched against playwright and activist Wole Soyinka for his “fascist” comments. Mr Obi had previously thrown his weight behind the Obidients until now, revealing that some Obidients “are not entirely people who are with us.”

“Prof (Soyinka) is a respected, revered personality in Nigeria and globally. I’ve always respected him. He is a dear father to me, and for me, I was very sad that there was such exchange,” Mr Obi stated when commenting on the vitriol hurled against Mr Soyinka.

Mr Obi, a Labour Party standard-bearer, claims to have won the presidential election despite finishing third behind Peoples Democratic Party flag bearer Atiku Abubakar and APC president-elect Bola Tinubu.

His party and the vociferous Obidients have launched viral attacks on individuals and organizations perceived to be opposed to Mr Obi’s presidential ambition or interests.

Rather than denounce the Obidients, Mr Obi blamed the “system” and “oppositions,” likely APC, PDP and other parties against the Labour.

“I was very sad there was such exchange between a respected father. These young people have been so deprived by a system that is supposed to take care of them,” said the former Anambra governor. “They’ve been pushed to the wall. Even me, the way they react when I say things. But I could see their pain. I could feel it.”
