Yunusa Tanko, the interim national coordinator of the ‘Obidient Movement Worldwide’, has said Peter Obi can become Nigeria’s president in 2027.
Tanko made this statement at a one-day symposium, themed “Repositioning the Obidient Movement for Greater Impact,” organised by the ‘Obidient’ Movement and Anambra State Support Groups at the All Saints Cathedral Auditorium in Onitsha, Anambra state, on Saturday, November 9.
As reported by The Punch, he explained that a strategy that will be deployed is the top preparation of agents before the 2027 general election, through training and retraining.

“Obi has the potential to emerge as president in 2027 if we put our acts together. We will have our agents prepared well before the 2027 general election, training and retraining them.
“A new Nigeria is possible if we start doing the right things in electing those who lead us. We are determined to end bad governance in Nigeria by ensuring the right people are elected.”
Obi became a member of the Labour Party (LP) in 2022 and was handed the presidential ticket during the primary election of the party. In the 2023 election, he lost to Bola Tinubu. Obi’s presidential campaign has been described as populist, especially with an energetic group of supporters called the ‘Obidients’.
Meanwhile, on his part, Tochukwu Ezeoke, the convener of Peter Obi Support Network and chairman of the symposium planning committee, said the event was to chart a new course for the Obidient movement in the southeast in partnership with Anambra State Support Groups.
