Yunusa Tanko Claims Betrayal After Leaving Obidient Movement

Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Presidential Campaign Council, has publicly stated that he experienced betrayal of trust and loyalty from the Obidient Movement, where he previously served as National Coordinator before his defection to the SDP. In a conversation with journalists at a political gathering, Tanko clarified that he did not leave the Obidient Movement voluntarily; rather, he was removed from the group.

He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), acknowledging that only Obi knows his true intentions. Tanko emphasized his appreciation for the recognition he received for his contributions to nation-building, stating that he was made to feel valued.

He concluded by asserting that he prefers to be in an environment where he is appreciated rather than tolerated.
