The Anambra State Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Charles Anueyiagu, has said a joint ticket between Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso could drive Nigeria’s rebirth and national renewal.

Anueyiagu said this on Thursday during a media briefing in Awka, urging both political movements to collapse their structures into a single platform to strengthen electoral prospects.
He argued that a merger of the Obidient and Kwankwasian movements would consolidate northern and southern support, increasing the chances of electoral success in 2027.
According to him, both groups share a common objective of promoting good governance and should work together to achieve it.
“The Obidient and Kwankwasian movements are strong independent bodies serving the same purpose—to give Nigeria good governance,” he said.
Anueyiagu noted that the proposed alliance would represent a departure from what he described as a governance system that has failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
He also referenced the 2023 presidential election, stating that combining the votes secured by Obi and Kwankwaso would provide a stronger electoral base.
“In the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi scored over eight million votes, while Rabiu Kwankwaso recorded over one million votes. If combined, the figures present a formidable force,” he said.
He added that lessons from the last election had strengthened the resolve of supporters, expressing confidence that a united front would produce better outcomes.
“The experience of the 2023 election has taught us valuable lessons. I believe that bringing these forces together will help salvage the country and deliver positive results,” he said.
Anueyiagu stressed that national renewal requires collective effort across ethnic and regional lines, urging Nigerians to unite in pursuit of accountable leadership and improved governance.
“National rebirth is not the responsibility of one tribe but a collective duty. Nigerians must come together to confront hardship, restore accountability, and build a better future,” he added.
