The Obidient Movement has accused the All Progressives Congress of scheming to prevent Peter Obi from securing a platform ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
National Coordinator Yunusa Tanko alleged that the delisting of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) by the Independent National Electoral Commission was a calculated move to block Obi’s presidential ambitions.
Tanko claimed the alleged plot began after the 2023 general election, describing it as a “serious threat to Nigeria’s democracy,” with tactics including deliberate crises within Obi’s former party, the Labour Party.
“Despite Obi’s relentless efforts to restore peace, government infiltrators aided by a compromised judiciary consistently thwarted these attempts,” Tanko said.
He added that after Obi joined the ADC and revitalized the party, the ruling party escalated its sabotage through legislative changes, including a controversial amendment to the Electoral Act, aimed at pressuring the ADC and undermining Obi’s political ambitions.
Tanko highlighted Obi’s March 22, 2026, visit to former Kano Governor and 2023 NNPP presidential candidate
