2023: ‘Obidient’ Movement Beyond Ethnicity, Religion – Doyin Okupe

The obidient movement has, according to Doyin Okupe, Director General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organization, transcended racial and religious sensitivities.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, Peter Obi’s supporters are referred to as “The Obidients” and are the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.

Okupe said the movement transcends bias based on race and religion on Wednesday during the party’s pre-campaign press conference in Abuja. He urged the opposition parties to quit connecting the movement to a specific tribe or religion.

Okupe claimed that by selecting a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, the All Progressives Congress (APC) shown a lack of respect for the religious plurality of Nigeria.

According to the former presidential adviser, the party cannot defend or justify such a move because it does not care about Nigeria and its citizens.

He asserted that the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) ongoing internal turmoil is a result of the party’s disregard for the zoning and rotation of power provisions set down in its basic charter.

The PDP will still experience problems, according to Okupe, because Atiku Abubakar, their presidential contender, won a rigged primary.

He continued by saying that if there had been a rigid pre-qualification procedure, Bola Tinubu of the APC and his PDP rival would have been eliminated at this point.

Okupe emphasized that both the PDP and the APC are out-of-date products with flawed structures and that the youth would determine the immediate destiny of the nation.

He said, “I am not talking about the dubious nature of educational records, nor even allegations of foreign court certified criminal narcotic records, nor any basis of poor health, and not even of falsified or advanced age but I refer to the fundamental parameters of competence and character, where none of these other known candidates, measure up in any way to the sterling qualities of Peter Obi and Dr. Yusuf Datti-Ahmed.

“Similarly, on the considerations of true nationalism, geographical equity and fairness of ticket, none of them come close.

“The PDP candidate is a product of an unjust and dishonourable process that clearly violates the equitable rights of entire southern Nigeria and the desire for balance in presidential power, already enshrined in the constitution and history of that party which was shamelessly subverted by subterfuge, and indeed anything built on injustice, ungodliness and evil conspiracy, can never stand.

“As for the APC, the presidential candidacy is fundamentally flawed through the adoption of a skewed and insensitive Muslim-Muslim ticket, despite all objections across religious lines in a highly religiously sensitive country like Nigeria and at a time where all reason, calls for maturity, fairness, equity, justice and balance for the good of the country.

“Nigerian youth, by this new, unprecedented demonstration of political vibrancy, has signalled to the failing and fading established political order, and transactional political class, that they are tired of the leadership failure that has brought Nigeria, the giant of Africa, to her knees today.

“The arrogant, corrupt and clearly selfish practices of this old-order politicians and their parties, who believe they can always buy their way into power, and always compromise every institution, have now been spotlighted and stand totally rejected by this new class of Nigerian voters.

“The large crowds of highly disciplined, self-organised, self-funded, self-motivated and clearly trans-ethnic-politico-religious groups and vocal associations of youths simultaneously calling for a new political culture and new leadership personae, across all the country’s political regions, in a sustained, orderly but insistent manner, is a clear call and warning to us as a country to sit up, shape up and do what is right before it becomes too late.”
