The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has said that President Bola Tinubu-led government is trying to stop a new member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi from running for presidency in 2027.
Tanko claimed that Tinubu’s administration caused a crisis in Obi’s former political parties in an effort to prevent the former presidential candidate from running for the highest political office in the country.
In an interview on Arise Television, the Obidient Movement National Coordinator expressed sadness over the fact that Obi is being deliberately targeted.
According to Tanko: “The current government has become fully involved in all the political parties, attempting to prevent His Excellency Mr.” Peter Obi from running for office. This is clear testimony. When he was part of the Labour Party, it was the same situation.
“When he moved to the ADC, it was the same situation. Now you can clearly see that the man is the target of the federal government to make sure he doesn’t escape.
“If not, why are you bothered by him switching parties? He isn’t a nomadic person; he is working hard to look after and help his people and to keep Nigerian democracy safe.
“It is saying to you, as Nigerians, that this is a person who has been totally shut out from the chance to live and succeed in our political system, but he remains strong and committed to offering a better choice for the Nigerian people.”
