The Obidient Movement has maintained that it will only support Peter Obi to emerge as the African Democratic Congress (ADC), presidential candidate.
The movement stated that it would withdraw its support for the party with Obi as a vice presidential candidate.
It made the clarification in reaction to reports credited to its National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko that it will stay in ADC even if Obi loses the party’s presidential ticket.
However, in another statement by Tanko, he described the report as “deliberate misrepresentations and malicious propaganda.”
According to the statement: “Without equivocation, the ideals, energy, and collective resolve of the Obidient Movement are unequivocally committed to the presidential aspiration of Mr Peter Obi. The Movement can join any political party of its choice that aligned with the person, principles, and leadership vision of Mr Peter Obi.
“Let it be stated clearly and without ambiguity: The Obidient Movement is not mobilised to support Mr Peter Obi as a vice-presidential candidate to anyone. Our support is exclusively for his emergence as President of Nigeria.
“At present, we are supporting him within the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the contest for its presidential candidacy. Should the process be transparent, credible, and fair, the Obidient Movement will abide by its outcome.
“However, should the process be compromised, the Movement will take a united, lawful, and democratic decision consistent with its core principles.”
