Obi Can Become President In 2027, We’ll Be Ready —Tanko

Yunusa Tanko, the “Obidient Movement’s” national coordinator, was upbeat about Peter Obi’s chances of winning the presidency of Nigeria in 2027.

Tanko, who spoke during a symposium in Onitsha, Anambra State, noted that the Labour Party candidate was denied victory in 2023 due to alleged electoral malpractice but affirmed that the movement would be better prepared for the next election cycle.

Speaking at the one-day event, titled “Repositioning the Obidient Movement for Greater Impact,” organized by the Obidient Movement and Anambra State Support Groups, Tanko outlined the movement’s renewed focus on mobilization, structure, and youth empowerment. He stressed that a “new Nigeria” is within reach if citizens choose leaders committed to good governance and accountability.

“We are dedicated to promoting good governance and accountability,” Tanko said. “Obi has the potential to emerge as president in 2027 if we organize ourselves properly. We will ensure that our agents are thoroughly trained and prepared before the 2027 general election.”

Tanko emphasized that the movement aims to build a strong foundation for fair and credible elections. Reflecting on the 2023 elections, he noted that while critics accused the Labour Party of lacking political structure, Obi still garnered substantial support. However, Tanko claimed that electoral malpractice prevented a fair outcome.

“This time, history will not repeat itself. We will prepare thoroughly,” he assured the audience.

The symposium also highlighted the Obidient Movement’s plan to advocate for electoral reform through legislative efforts and public mobilization. Tanko explained that they would bring their proposals to the National Assembly and rally public support in favor of fair electoral practices, both in the courts and on the streets.

“Even the North is dissatisfied with the current government,” he said. “We are committed to making a tangible impact by empowering Nigerian youths and advocating for justice, equity, and meaningful change.”

The Obidient Movement’s commitment, Tanko noted, is to establish a Nigeria where the power of the people is respected and where the right leadership can bring about genuine transformation for all citizens.
