The Obidient Movement, a socio-political organization dedicated to promoting good governance and accountability, recently convened a symposium in Anambra State, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss Nigeria’s future ¹. The event underscored the movement’s commitment to unity, justice, and equity.
Dr. Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, emphasized the possibility of a new Nigeria, citing inspirational leaders like Awolowo, Azikiwe, and Tafawa Balewa. He urged the South East to continue supporting the movement, stressing that “charity begins at home” ². Tanko advocated for Peter Obi as the next president, highlighting his commitment to the country’s well-being.
Prof. Stella Okunna, chairman of the occasion, stressed the importance of good governance, thanking organizers for re-energizing the movement. She tasked the team to increase visibility beyond party affiliation.
Valentine Ozigbo, Labour Party governorship aspirant for Anambra’s 2025 election, emphasized the movement’s goal of advancing Nigerian interests. Ozigbo urged members to remain united, working toward a better Nigeria. He said that what the Labour Party did in 2023 was to show Nigerians that it’s possible. He appreciated those who helped the movement to gain greater heights, especially folks like Obasanjo, and others.
He said that a few things that was left undone that it’s time for the movement to do it right. He said that 2025 is very important for the obident movement, because of the Anambra Election which he is contesting for.
He said that the Ka Anambra Chawapu document is for a better, brighter and a more prosperous Anambra, which when implemented will ensure that Anambra is better off than what the state had on ground today. He said that the Labour Party must come together to ensure that they wrestle power from the incumbent.
Mr. John Nwosu, another governorship aspirant, outlined his vision for Anambra, focusing on security, health, economy, education, environment, social welfare, and technological advancement.
