The Obidient Movement

The Obidient Movement became a forceful movement after being brand as people without structure and 4 people tweeting from the room. Is a movement that supports the aspirations and dreams of Mr Peter Obi ,labour party presidential candidate. younger generations under 40 proved to be some of the biggest Obi's strong and reliablesupporters, showing their support via social media and protests and street marches. The great supporters of Obi's campaign are nicknamed "Obidients".In an article in Business Day, it was argued that The Obi-Dients movementare attracted by Peter Obi's ideology of simplicity,humility ,frugality, economic production rather than the ostentatious consumerism and waste, and resourceful management and investment in key sectors, for economic growth and development."He believes in production rather than consumption. Commentators have argued that Obi's third party candidacy appeals to young voters dissatisfied with the two major parties, which has resulted in the "biggest political movement in recent Nigerian history. With his core message of prudence and accountability, Obi has managed to gain the backing of voters for his previously largely unknown Labour Party into a strong third force against two political heavyweights. Before campaigns were officially kicked off, Obi's supporters held a series of One Million Man Marches in several Nigerian cities including Makurdi, Calabar, Lafia, Port Harcourt, Afikpo, Owerri, Enugu, Auchi, Abuja, Kano, Ilorin, Abakaliki and Ibadan. The marches were not part of the official campaigns; as they were led by volunteer Obi supporters and not Obi's in-house team or political party. The marches experienced massive turnouts. Obi has many leverages and it cut across young professionals,women.the youth and a lot of people across ethinic and religious beliefs. We believe he will lead the Nigeria to a prosperous nation and make things right
