Peter Obi supporters throng Abuja streets for Obidient march

Ahead of the 2023 Nigerian general elections, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, Adamu Garba, has warned his party not to underestimate the supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, known as ‘Obidients’.

Garba’s argument: Defending his stance, the controversial politician gave the example of the Revolution For Prosperity (RFP) in Lesotho which emerged as the single biggest party with 56 seats in last week’s Lesotho general election.

A party, RFP, founded by Sam in March 2022 in Lesotho won the Presidency as a result of young people’s votes. A similar case happed in Kenya & Zambia, all in 2022.

That is why we shouldn’t underestimate this obidients

“That is why we shouldn’t underestimate this obidients APC must have a modern strategic campaign to secure victory,” Garba wrote on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, October 10, 2022.

What you should know: Just two days ago, Director of Special Media Projects and Operations and New Media, APC’s Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Fani-Kayode has again taken a swipe at supporters of Peter Obi, the Obidients.

Garba’s advice to the APC may or may not be in connection with FFK’s statement.

I am an Educator and a proponent of Human Rights. There is so much poverty and disease around the world, especially in Africa, the richest continent on planet earth. This situation is brought upon the people of Africa as a result of extreme corruption, nepotism and bad governance by her leaders. I therefore decided to add my voice to making the continent of Africa, and the world at large a better place; thus the birth of MaTaZ ArIsInG.
