The Movement can join any political party of its choice that aligned with the person, principles, and leadership vision of Mr Peter Obi.
“Let it be stated clearly and without ambiguity: The Obidient Movement is not mobilised to support Mr Peter Obi as a vice-presidential candidate to anyone. Our support is exclusively for his emergence as President of Nigeria.
