LEADERSHIP QUOTE OF THE MONTH

Peter Obi and The Obidient Movement

As Nigeria prepare to elect a new set of leaders to stir the affairs of the country after what has been described as an abysmal performance of the current administration for the past eight years. Nigerian Youths appear to be politically activated with a level of anger and wrath against the political class.


Coming from a bottled wrath for how they were treated during the EndSARS saga in 2020, they seem to have found an opportunity for a sweet revenge and to change the political climate in the country.

What makes it more interesting is the fact that they have massively queued behind the candidate of the Nigerian Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, a onetime governor in Anambra, one of the south eastern states in the country. Peter Gregory Obi had left the People’s Democratic Party-PDP just a few days before the primary which saw the emergence of Mr. Atiku Abubakar as the candidate of the PDP. Mr. Obi claimed that the system in the PDP was corrupt and against his principles thus his search for a party that aligns with his political ideology.


Since he joined the Labour Party and consequently emerged as the presidential candidate, many narratives have emerged that have continued to mobilize the youth who seem to be rather highly ingenious with the Obi movement.


Today, in Nigeria the cliché ‘Obidient Citizen’, ‘Obidient’ and ‘Obicracy’ is gradually becoming a household word. Even the governor of Edo state alluded to the fact that in almost every home in his state there are youths who call themselves OBIDIENT.


Could this be the journey towards political emacipation? Will the Nigerian Youths be able to sustain the tempo and mobilize greatly to enthrone their choice candidate in 2023? The coming days and months will tell as the candidates which include the powerful Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressive Congress and a host of others get ready for the commencement of the political campaign in September.


Keep track with us here as we will continue to analyze the development as it unfolds
