Peter Obi's 2023 Obidient Movement: A Force to Be Reckoned With?
APC's Stronghold Predicted for 2027 Elections by Keyamo, Downplaying Obidient Movement
The ongoing debate about the potential threat that Peter Obi's 2023 Obidient movement poses to President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027 is gaining traction. Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, discounts any such threat, attributing it to the enduring political structures of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
During an interview with Channels Television, Keyamo referred to the Labour Party's origins in Obi and the Obidient movement, stating that history shows even political giants like Chief Awolowo and Dr Azikiwe couldn't surmount the intricacies of Nigerian elections without a solid base. Questioning the rumors about the alleged challenge to Tinubu's re-election prospects, Keyamo asked, "Under what platform?" He underscored the APC's resilience in the 2023 elections, despite encountering headwinds like the naira redesign policy and fuel shortages.
"Look at what happened in the 2023 elections," Keyamo emphasized. "Our house stood firm, like a house built on solid rock," he added, reinforcing his faith in the unshakable strength of the APC.
Reports from our website suggest that Keyamo also highlighted the substantial support Tinubu enjoys in the northern region of Nigeria, which he believes will be crucial to the upcoming election. Furthermore, he addressed the recent defection of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the APC, viewing it as a strategic move to fortify the party.
However, the Obidient Movement's loyalty to Peter Obi and its organizational efforts raise concerns about the APC's monopoly in future elections. The movement's recent initiatives, including an online registration portal and identity cards for members, indicate a well-structured organization aiming to verify supporters and build a united front.
While the APC's political power base is undeniably robust, the Obidient Movement's unwavering dedication to Obi's leadership could potentially translate into a significant challenge if Obi chooses to participate in the 2027 election, possibly through a political alliance or another party platform.
In a political landscape as complex as Nigeria's, one cannot underestimate the impact of determined grassroots movements like the Obidient Movement. As we move towards the 2027 elections, it will be interesting to see how both the APC and the Obidient Movement evolve and adapt to retain or seize political power.
