Obidient Movement Not About My Tribe, Religion — Peter Obi

Labour Party's Peter Obi has reiterated that the Obidient Movement has nothing to do with his tribe and religion, stressing that he intends to be the president of a united Nigeria.

Taking to his Twitter handle, the presidential candidate who is contesting the 2023 election results and seeking to unseat Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the President-elect clarified warned that no one should link ethnic or religious colouration to his supporters.

Obi disclosed that he aspires for a new Nigeria where the children of nobody will become somebody and it becomes a nation anchored on national and not sectional interests.

"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.

"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", he stated.
