“We are glad that, for the first time in the recent past, Nigerians are united in the dethronement of misgovernance in Aso Rock. They are determined to make a political change through the ballot box with a third force presidency.
“This is the first time we are seeing such a strong political movement in Nigeria that is not sponsored by politicians, rather the masses own the project.
“You have seen the mass movement across the country and beyond; you have seen even children, persons with special needs, the aged; everyone is part of this movement.”

Ohanaeze Ndigbo is upbeat Peter Obi will be elected President riding on the support of at least 18 Governors from across party lines now working behind the scenes to ensure his momentum carries him over the finishing line on 25 February 2023.
The list also includes former Presidents and elder statesmen, according to Ohanaeze Secretary General Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
He did not disclose their names, but the news broke after Anambra Governor Charles Soludo denied allegation that he is working to scuttle Obi’s run.
“As we speak,” Isiguzoro said, “about 18 Governors from the North and South, cutting across party lines, are [working] behind the scenes putting up structures for Obi to be the winner of the 2023 presidential election.
“In addition, some former Presidents and elder statesmen are in support of Obi’s candidature.
“They are all convinced that Obi has something different from all the other candidates.
“We are glad that, for the first time in the recent past, Nigerians are united in the dethronement of misgovernance in Aso Rock. They are determined to make a political change through the ballot box with a third force presidency.
“This is the first time we are seeing such a strong political movement in Nigeria that is not sponsored by politicians, rather the masses own the project.
“You have seen the mass movement across the country and beyond; you have seen even children, persons with special needs, the aged; everyone is part of this movement.”

APC, PDP afraid of Obidient Movement
Isiguzoro said the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and other political parties are afraid of the Obidients Movement, according to reporting by The PUNCH.
“This is a movement to take back Nigeria from the days of the locusts, greedy and selfish politicians, and to rescue the country from adversity, economic slump, insecurity and corruption.
“Nigerians have demonstrated readiness to take back their country through the ballot box and it behooves the Independent National Electoral Commission to make the votes count.”
Soludo denies scheming against Obi
Soludo denied allegation of him working against Obi amid reports he gave such an order to members of Anambra All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
He made the clarification in a statement titled, “Re: Soludo charges Anambra APGA to work against Peter Obi, dreams of Presidency after Atiku”, which he issued in Awka through his through Press Secretary Christian Aburime.
“We note with disdain the fallacious and distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by faceless individual(s),” the statement said.
“The following should, however, be noted: that Soludo only held a private meeting with APGA members. At no time during the meeting was Peter Obi a point of discourse.
“We, therefore, urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the public to completely ignore and disregard the publication in its entirety.”
