A former Director of Mobilisation of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has publicly apologised to the Movement and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, over his past criticism.
In an open letter shared on 𝕏 on Thursday, Morris stated that his resignation from the Movement was due to his frustration and immaturity.
He apologised for making unfavourable statements about Obi, adding that he deeply respects the vision of the former Anambra governor.
The letter reads, “Open Apology Letter to the Obidient Movement.
“My Dear Obidient Family, I come before you today with a heavy heart, deep humility, and no excuses. Some time ago, in a moment of frustration and immaturity, I wrote and released a resignation letter as Director of Mobilisation. In that letter, I allowed deep frustration & personal emotions to cloud my judgment.

I made statements that subtly and unnecessarily dragged Peter Obi, a man I still respect for his vision, integrity, and sacrifice for this nation. That was wrong. It was childish and beneath the standard I should have upheld, especially as someone who once held a leadership position in this movement.
“I take full responsibility. No one forced me to write it. No one edited it. It came from me, and it was a mistake. I deleted the letter afterwards, but I know deletion does not erase the damage, the disappointment, or the loss of trust many of you felt. I understand why some of you no longer respect me the way you once did. You had every right to feel let down.
“To Peter Obi himself (fondly called PO): Sir, I am sincerely sorry. My words were not a true reflection of the values of sacrifice, accountability, and constructive criticism that you preach. I failed in that moment. To every single Obidient, the ones who stayed grinding, the ones who defended the vision even when it was tough, the ones who felt betrayed by my actions, I am deeply sorry.
