Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), revealed the goal of the Obidient movement in the country on Wednesday.
Obi claimed in a series of tweets on his account that the movement’s agenda is to reposition Nigeria, and that his role is to provide leadership.
He also stated that the movement is not about tribe or religion and that it is not an attempt to Christianize Nigeria.
The former governor of Anambra State wrote:
In the life of every nation, there is a turning point. For Nigeria, that time is now; a time to save Nigeria, save our democracy, and give the Nigerian youths hope.
The OBIdient Movement has been the arrowhead in the take-back Nigeria mission.
My role in the movement is that of a focal point. As I’ve always stressed, Nigeria remains a secular state. As such, the movement is not about my tribe or my religion, and it is not an Igbo agenda or in any way to Christianise Nigeria.
My aspiration is for a new Nigeria, where the children of a nobody will become somebody.
A nation anchored on national interests, and not sectional interests; where the entire youths from the six geopolitical zones will have a sense of belonging in the affairs of their country.
