Obidient Movement Critiques Sheriff on Patriotism Claims

The Obidient Movement has publicly criticized Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, for lacking the moral standing to question Peter Obi's patriotism. This statement follows remarks made by Sheriff during a television interview, where he allegedly sidestepped questions regarding the performance of President Bola Tinubu's administration.

Instead of addressing concerns about insecurity and economic challenges, Sheriff shifted the discussion to historical issues surrounding the Nigerian Civil War. The Obidient Movement argued that Sheriff’s comments were an attempt to divert attention from the current government's challenges.

They emphasized Obi's commitment to national unity and inclusive development, citing his plans to invest in agriculture in northern Nigeria to boost economic growth and diversify national revenue. The movement also rejected claims questioning Obi's dedication to Nigeria's unity, advocating for dialogue and justice in addressing the nation's grievances.

They urged Nigerians to focus on holding the government accountable for solutions to economic and security challenges rather than engaging in political distractions.
