Nobody ‘ll stop Obi in 2027, Obidients tell Bwala
By Ndukaku Ihe
Supporters of Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, the Obidients, have warned that they would resist any attempt to stop Obi from being on the 2027 presidential ballot and contesting the election.
The statement was coming at the backdrop of a recent boast by Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, that Obi would not get the ticket of any party in 2027.
One of the State Coordinating Council Collegiate team members of the movement in Abia, Dr Chibuzor Obiesili, said the statement by Bwala that Obi would not get any party’s ticket is suspicious.
“Is Bwala now telling Nigerians that the presidency determines who gets a party ticket in 2027?”, Obiesili queried.
He faulted Bwala’s claims that Obi had lost 50% of his South East voters, dismissing the claims as “wishful thinking and empty political hallucination.
“Obi’s support and followership are not only intact but swelling nationwide. Bwala should stop hallucinating, Obi is not losing but gaining more supports. His national appeal is so organic that even those who were not part of it before are now among the key drivers”, he claimed.
He said the Obidients Movement is stronger now among states and regions which were not supportive in 2023 having realized the truth.
“In case Bwala is not aware, many Nigerians who were deceived by APC’s fake change in 2023 are now more obedient than the Obidients”, he said.
Describing the Obidient Movement as a patriotic movement to make Nigeria great again, Obiesili said all patriotic citizens who believe in Nigeria are queuing behind the movement.
