Obidient Movement Not Started by Peter Obi, Says Aisha Yesufu

Aisha Yesufu, a member of the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential campaign team, has stated that Peter Obi, the party’s flagbearer in the previous general election, was not the creator of the Obidient movement.

Yesufu attributed the formation of the Obidient movement to the aftermath of the EndSARS killings, emphasising that it was a response to the collective anger felt by Nigerian youths.

In her post on X, Yesufu mentioned that the movement was not intentionally created by anyone but rather emerged organically as a result of the desire to vote out the APC government following the tragic events of #EndSARS.
