Obidient Movement Launches Advocacy Campaign for Registration in Kano

The Obidient Movement has officially launched its advocacy campaign for registration in Kano State, with the aim of consolidating its efforts towards good governance and social justice in Nigeria.
The campaign was kicked off on September 30, 2024, by Yunusa Tanko, Interim National Coordinator of the Movement, during a public event in Kano.
Tanko, addressing supporters, recounted the birth of the Movement in response to the incompetence of the APC-led government and the hardships experienced by Nigerians. He highlighted the pivotal role of the North-West region, which has over 22 million registered voters but continues to suffer from infrastructural neglect and insecurity.
In his speech, Tanko urged Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliation, to register with the Obidient Movement to ensure better coordination and stronger impact.
He reiterated the Movement’s commitment to fighting corruption, advocating for equity, and fostering a brighter future for the country.
The registration campaign is set to bolster the Movement’s presence nationwide as it continues to push for systemic change.

NNPP purges Kwankwassiya faction, elects new leadership at Lagos Convention

***Dr. Agbo Major Emerges National Chairman
The National Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Dr. Agbo Major, has announced the sweeping reforms within the party following its just-concluded National Convention in Lagos. Addressing a press conference at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, Dr. Major confirmed the ratification of new leadership and the official expulsion of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Buba Galadima, and the entire Kwankwassiya faction.
The convention, held at Rockview Hotel in Apapa, Lagos on February 4, 2025, came after months of legal tussles and internal strife. Dr. Major emphasized that the party’s actions were in full compliance with the Abia High Court judgment delivered on November 1, 2024, which mandated the Board of Trustees (BOT), led by Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam, to take control of the party pending the resolution of court cases.
Major decision at the convention included the ratification of all congresses from the ward to zonal levels, expulsion of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Buba Galadima, and the Kwankwassiya group following the expiration of the MOU that facilitated their entry into the NNPP.
Others are the election of a new National Working Committee led by Dr. Agbo Major as National Chairman and the rejection of the controversial logo change and reinstatement of the party’s original basket of fruits on the Nigerian map emblem.
Dr. Major did not hold back in criticizing the Kwankwassiya faction, labeling them as “unemployed characters” and “sinking clowns” attempting to destabilize the party.
He singled out Dr. Ahmed Ajuji for spreading misinformation, accusing him of misleading Nigerians about court judgments and the party’s internal affairs.
“It’s unfortunate that at this stage of our national life, a misguided and obviously mentally unstable Dr. Ajuji would make such claims,” Dr. Major stated.
He further accused Ajuji of ignoring critical judgments, including a Federal High Court ruling in Kano that affirmed the legitimacy of candidates presented by the Dr. Agbo Major-led NNPP for the Kano local government elections.
The NNPP’s leadership also confirmed that all necessary documentation has been submitted to INEC, and changes in party records are expected in the coming days. Dr. Major urged INEC to uphold the rule of law and reflect the party’s new leadership structure in its records.
In a firm warning, Dr. Major called on the remaining members of the Kwankwassiya faction to peacefully exit the party, advising them to seek political relevance elsewhere.
“It is our hope that any other political party will consider their treacherous and deceitful antecedents before welcoming them,” he added.
The NNPP leadership remains focused on consolidating its gains and preparing for the 2027 general elections. Dr. Major concluded by urging the press to disregard distractions from expelled members and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to unity and progress.

APC Considers Suspending Aishatu Binani Over Meeting with Atiku

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is reportedly considering suspending its 2023 Adamawa State gubernatorial candidate, Senator Aishatu Binani, over her recent meeting with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at her residence in Abuja.
According to reliable sources within the ruling party, the APC hierarchy is concerned about the political implications of the meeting, which some party insiders perceive as an act of disloyalty.
While official reasons for the potential suspension remain unclear, it is believed that Binani’s engagement with Atiku, a leading figure in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), may have influenced the party’s stance.
There has been no official confirmation from the APC, but sources suggest discussions are ongoing at the highest levels of the party. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days

Obidient Movement Debunks Rumour of Merger with ADC, Reaffirms Support for Peter Obi

The Obidient Movement has debunked reports claiming it has joined the Action Democratic Congress (ADC), labeling the news as misleading and false.
In a statement issued by Hon. Chidiebere Darlington Anyanwu, Personal Assistant on Media & Publicity to Dr. Tanko Yunusa, the National Coordinator of the movement, the leadership clarified that it has not aligned with any political party or coalition.
The disclaimer followed the circulation of a video showing members of the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy (COPDEM) in a meeting with the ADC’s national leadership.
The movement stressed that COPDEM is merely a support group and does not represent or have the authority to negotiate on behalf of the Obidient Movement.
Reaffirming its commitment, the statement assured supporters that the movement remains focused on working with critical stakeholders and like-minded Nigerians to advance the vision of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi.
“This propaganda is a deliberate attempt to undermine and derail the activities of the Obidient Movement, which remains solidly behind Peter Obi in the pursuit of a new Nigeria,” the statement concluded.
