Obidient Movement Responds to Threats Against Peter Obi

The Obidient Movement, representing the North Central zone of Nigeria, has reacted to alleged threats against Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate. In a statement released on Wednesday, the group warned individuals allegedly involved in threatening Obi to reconsider their actions, asserting that attempts to intimidate him would fail.

The movement emphasized that they have carefully reviewed recent developments surrounding the situation in Edo State and have gathered information regarding the individuals involved and possible motivations behind the threats.

The statement highlighted Obi's resilience, noting that he survived numerous attacks during his campaign and is expected to succeed in the 2027 presidential election. The Obidient Movement urged Nigerians to maintain peace and avoid actions that could escalate political tensions, reaffirming their commitment to democratic engagement and peaceful political participation.
