Obidient Movement calls for calm amid realignment talks

The Obidient Movement on Saturday asked its members and supporters to remain calm as discussions continue around possible political changes involving Peter Obi and other opposition figures.

The message was shared through a statement released by its National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, on social media.

The group said Obi is currently holding meetings with political allies and stakeholders across the country to decide the best direction moving forward. It noted that the ongoing talks are part of efforts to review the current political situation and consider options that will serve Nigerians better.

The movement advised its supporters not to rely on unverified reports or speculation, stating that clear information would be provided once discussions are concluded. It maintained that Obi remains committed to his political mission and will address the public at the appropriate time.

According to the group, the consultations are guided by its core values, including accountability, transparency and citizen involvement. It added that any decision taken would align with its goal of national development and better governance.

The statement comes as reports continue to circulate about a possible alliance involving Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso ahead of the next election cycle.

There are also claims that talks are ongoing around a new political platform linked to former Bayelsa State governor Seriake Dickson, although no official confirmation has been made by those involved.

These developments follow growing concerns within opposition parties over internal disagreements and leadership issues, especially after recent Supreme Court decisions that returned some party matters to the Federal High Court.

The situation has led to uncertainty among opposition groups as they consider their next steps before the upcoming elections.
