Ex-Obidient Coordinator Supports Tinubu's Campaign Focus

Marcel Ngogbehei, the former coordinator of the Obidient Movement, expressed support for President Bola Tinubu's campaign strategy, which involves skipping campaign activities in some states to prioritize governance. Speaking in Abuja alongside the movement’s National Coordinator, Engr. Ibrahim Said Uba, Ngogbehei stated that if Tinubu were to personally campaign in all 36 states ahead of the 2027 general elections, it could detract from governance.

He emphasized the importance of governance over electioneering, noting that early political mobilization often undermines the delivery of mandates. Ngogbehei mentioned that Tinubu has delegated campaign responsibilities to trusted associates, allowing him to concentrate on key governance issues.

He argued that effective leadership relies on building strong teams and institutions rather than solely depending on the leader's presence. Ngogbehei urged Nigerians to consider the implications of requiring the President to attend every campaign event, as it could negatively impact governance.
