Obidient Movement About Good Governance, Bigger Than Labour Party, Says Tanko

The chief spokesman of the Obi-Datti organization, Tanko Yunusa has described the Obidient Movement as all about good governance and is bigger than the Labour Party.

Yunusa made this known on Friday’s edition of Channels Television’s programme, The Morning Brief.

“It’s bigger than the Labour Party. It is so because it is a move of its own that has a life of its own. What they are interested in is good governance,” Tanko said.

“Even if the Labour Party is doing something that is wrong, they are able to challenge it. Let me go further. Even His Excellency [Peter Obi], if he does something that is not aligned with good governance, we would challenge it.”

He said the Obidient Movement is all about good governance which Obi preaches.

“They are loyal to the messages that connect to good governance and Peter Obi is championing that particular good governance,” the Labour Party chieftain said.

After a backlash, the Labour Party recently renamed a directorate of the party named the Directorate of Obidient Affairs.

According to the National Publicity Secretary of LP Obiora Ifoh, the Obidient Directorate is now renamed as the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.

“Following the controversies arising from the creation of the Directorate of OBIDIENT Affairs, in the party, the Directorate is hereby renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration,” Obiorah said on Thursday.

“The inauguration will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the party’s National Secretariat, Utako, Abuja, by 10 a.m. Party members and the general public should take note.”

In the wake of the move, Obi said the movement is beyond the LP and cuts across party, gender, and ethnic divides.
