Obidient Movement Names Dr. Moses Paul as New Leader

The Obidient Movement appointed Dr. Moses Paul as its new National Coordinator on September 30, 2026, during a virtual meeting of national leaders and state coordinators. This appointment follows the reassignment of the previous coordinator, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, to the role of Special Adviser to presidential candidate Peter Obi on Northern Nigeria.

Tanko, who served as National Coordinator for three years, expressed gratitude for the support he received and highlighted the organizational structures established during his tenure, including the formation of a National Advisory Council and the establishment of offices in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. He emphasized the importance of grassroots structures and an election-results monitoring system linked to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Results Viewing platform.

In his acceptance speech, Paul thanked the leadership for their confidence and committed to building on the established structures, reaffirming the movement's dedication to citizen-driven leadership and national unity.
