Peter Obi Reveals Role In Obidient Movement, Shares Aspirations For A New Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25 election, Peter Obi, has revealed his aspirations for a new Nigeria which will be driven by the youth.

In a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Sunday, Obi said that one of the aspirations for a new Nigeria is where the children of a nobody will become somebody.

Obi noted that he aspires for a nation anchored on national interests and not sectional interests, where the entire Nigerian youth will have a sense of belonging in the affairs of their country.

The LP flagbearer asserted that no one should ascribe ethnic or religious colouration to the OBIdient Movement, saying that the movement is for all Nigerians.

According to the former governor of Anambra State, Nigeria is one and his ambition is to become the President of a united and indivisible country.

He said: “My aspiration is for a new Nigeria, where the children of a nobody will become somebody. A nation anchored on national interests, and not sectional interests; where the entire youths from the six geopolitical zones will have a sense of belonging in the affairs of their country.

“No one should ascribe ethnic or religious colouration to the OBIdient Movement. Nigeria is one and my ambition is to become the President of a United and Indivisible Nigeria.”

Speaking further, Obi said his role in the OBIdient movement which has been the arrowhead in the take-back Nigeria mission, is that of a focal point.

He stressed that Nigeria remains a secular state, and as such, the movement is not about his tribe or religion, and it is not an Igbo agenda or in any way, to Christianize Nigeria.

He added: “In the life of every nation, there is a turning point. For Nigeria, that time is now; a time to save Nigeria, save our democracy and give the Nigerian youths hope. The OBIdient Movement has been the arrowhead in the take-back Nigeria mission.

“My role in the Movement is that of a Focal Point. As I’ve always stressed, Nigeria remains a secular state. As such, the movement is not about my tribe or my religion, and it is not an Igbo agenda or in any way, to Christianize Nigeria.”
