#GameTimeMindSet

What exactly is happening to the movement once built around Peter Obi? In a stunning and deeply controversial announcement, a group claiming authority over the movement says the #Obidient Movement has now been dissolved, rebranded, and stripped of Obi himself, alongside his close ally Yunusa Tanko and the entire post-2023 leadership structure. Their accusation? That the movement was hijacked for “personal advantage,” “private gain,” and what they dramatically describe as “political prostitution.” The new group now calls itself the #OBEDIENT Movement, insisting it no longer has ties to Obi, the Labour Party, or any presidential candidate ahead of 2027. But this raises explosive questions. Who exactly owns a political movement born organically on the streets and online? Can a movement built around one man suddenly expel the very symbol that gave it life? Or are Nigerians witnessing something darker ' infiltration, sabotage, fragmentation… perhaps even a coordinated attempt to weaken one of the country’s most formidable opposition political bases ahead of 2027? And perhaps the biggest question of all: If the Obidient Movement itself is now at war over identity, leadership and loyalty, what does that mean for the future political relevance of Peter Obi himself?
