The Obidient Movement urged former President Goodluck Jonathan to support Peter Obi instead of contesting the 2027 presidential election. The appeal for Jonathan to step down in favor of Obi was made during a meeting where discussions centered on the nation's state and future.

While Jonathan has not publicly declared his intentions for 2027, the movement emphasized Obi as the preferred choice for millions of Nigerians seeking a new direction. Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, highlighted Obi's leadership qualities and long-standing friendship with Jonathan as reasons for the appeal for support and unity within the party.
