Press Release by Dr. Moses Paul (Dr Mo) The National Cordinator, Obidient Movement
PRESS STATEMENT
MY APPOINTMENT AS NATIONAL COORDINATOR OF THE OBIDIENT MOVEMENT: A CALL TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS TO RISE, ORGANISE AND RECLAIM THEIR FUTURE
Nigeria has reached a point where silence is complicity and inaction is surrender. The time to act is NOW!
I sincerely thank His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, and the leadership and members of the Obidient Movement for the confidence reposed in me through my appointment as National Coordinator. I accept this responsibility with humility and a firm commitment to the mission ahead.
I am not accepting a title; I am accepting the responsibility to organise a generation and strengthen a movement whose mission is bigger than any individual.
TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS: YOUR COUNTRY IS CALLING!
How much longer must Nigerians endure hunger, unemployment, poverty, collapsing businesses and bad governance while corruption, waste and impunity thrive?
Nigeria does not belong to politicians. It belongs to all of us, particularly the young generation whose future must not be sacrificed to the interests of a political elite.
Our frustration is justified, but anger without organisation achieves little. We must move beyond hashtags and complaints to organised, peaceful and determined democratic action. We must become informed, active citizens who demand accountability and defend democracy.
OUR VISION: FROM MOVEMENT TO NATIONAL FORCE
The Obidient Movement represents the aspirations of millions who believe that competence, character, compassion and accountability must define leadership. Mr Peter Obi has inspired Nigerians to believe that a different country is possible, but rebuilding Nigeria requires organised citizens, not one individual.
My priority is to build a functional, disciplined and inclusive structure across every state, LGA, ward, community and polling unit.
Our direction will rest on five pillars:
ORGANISE: Build functional structures with clear responsibilities and measurable results.
UNITE: Overcome internal divisions and put the mission above personal interests.
LISTEN: Give youths, women, professionals, workers and ordinary Nigerians a meaningful voice.
COMMUNICATE: Establish coordinated, professional and truthful communication to counter misinformation.
MOBILISE: Turn supporters into active citizens through civic education, voter participation and grassroots engagement.
2027: DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY!
Reports of suspected AI-generated photographs in INEC's preliminary voter register and alleged irregularities in voter and polling-unit figures demand urgent investigation.
One reported case alleges that a polling unit associated with Governor Monday Okpebholo increased from 397 registered voters in 2024 to 4,783 in 2026. If these records are verified as comparable for the same polling unit, this discrepancy demands a transparent explanation.
INEC must provide answers and submit the register to an independent forensic audit. These allegations must not be treated as proof of electoral fraud, but neither should they be dismissed without investigation.
We must prepare in advance with voter education, trained polling-unit volunteers, election monitoring, proper documentation, and lawful defence of the people's votes.
The 2027 election must reflect the genuine choices of Nigerians, not manipulated records or electoral impunity.
UNITY, RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTABILITY
I recognise and appreciate Dr Yunusa Tanko for his dedication and contributions to the Movement. I am not coming to replace anyone but to work with everyone. No individual owns this Movement, and nobody should be bigger than its purpose. Leadership must be measured by service, commitment and results. Every coordinator, volunteer and supporter has a role to play in this national assignment.
MY CHARGE TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Reject the normalisation of poverty, ethnic and religious divisions, political manipulation and the sale of your conscience. Your PVC, your voice and your participation matter.
I am profoundly saddened and deeply disturbed by reports of violence directed at members and coordinators of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Obidient Movement in Delta State.
I unequivocally condemn the attacks against our coordinators, supporters, and fellow citizens who were merely exercising their democratic rights. Political violence has no place in a democracy and can never be justified. No political aspiration is worth the life of a Nigerian, and no dispute should be resolved through intimidation, physical attacks, or the destruction of property.
It is particularly troubling that, at a time when Nigeria urgently needs responsible leadership, some individuals continue to believe that political influence can be secured through thuggery, fear, and violence. Political authority should be attained through persuasion and the trust of the people, not by intimidating opponents.
I urge the Government and the security agencies to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into these attacks, identify those responsible, and ensure that they face justice, irrespective of their political affiliations. The safety and security of our members must be assured.
We will not be intimidated or silenced, nor will we relinquish our democratic space to violence. Our response will remain peaceful, lawful, and determined.
Nigeria belongs to every one of us. No political party or individual has exclusive ownership of the democratic space. Every Nigerian is entitled to organise, gather, express their views, and freely elect their leaders. Our nation needs constructive ideas rather than intimidation, responsible leadership rather than thuggery, and democratic contest rather than political violence.
I stand in solidarity with everyone affected in Delta State. A New Nigeria must be founded on justice, liberty, peace, and respect for the dignity of every citizen.
May God bless Delta State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO
OBIDIENT MOVEMENT CONDEMNS BRUTAL ATTACK ON DELTA COORDINATOR, DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE!
THEY HIT US WITH DAGGERS!
Comrade Noah, Delta State Deputy Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, has been stabbed and is currently receiving treatment at FMC. Several others have also sustained injuries.
But let us ask a fundamental question: What kind of political atmosphere are we creating in Nigeria?
When a President makes statements suggesting that all is fair in politics, what message does that send? When APC chieftains openly threaten opponents with AK-47s, when serving senators make inflammatory statements against the opposition, and when political leaders talk about driving opposition members out of their states, what do we expect? This is how political violence is normalised. This is how intimidation becomes acceptable, and how a nation slides towards anarchy.
Words from people in power carry consequences. When political leaders legitimise aggression, their followers may interpret it as permission to attack, intimidate, destroy and even kill.
Democracy is not warfare. Opposition is not a crime. Political competition is not a licence to murder. We demand an immediate investigation, accountability and justice for Comrade Noah and everyone injured.
Nigeria must not become a country where the price of participating in democracy is a dagger in the stomach or a bullet in the chest.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! No political ambition is worth a single Nigerian life.

NIGERIA NEEDS ACTIVE, ENERGETIC LEADERSHIP, NOT A PRESIDENCY BUILT ON POLITICAL ENTITLEMENT
– DR. MO
NIGERIA NEEDS LEADERSHIP WITH ENERGY, NOT AN ENTITLEMENT TO POWER!
Watching the events surrounding President Tinubu in Akwa Ibom, where he appeared to stumble and nearly fall, is deeply sobering. I wish him good health and dignity. But we must not allow courtesy to silence a necessary national conversation.
Nigeria is too important, too young, too energetic and too troubled to continue treating the presidency as a retirement entitlement.
This is not about age discrimination. Age does not automatically disqualify anyone from leadership. But the Nigerian presidency demands extraordinary physical stamina, mental alertness, sound judgment, compassion and relentless energy.
We have millions of young Nigerians struggling for survival, an economy in distress, insecurity everywhere and a generation desperate for opportunity. They need a leader who can match the urgency of their struggles.
My pain is not that a President stumbled. My pain is that Nigeria itself continues to stumble while its political leadership refuses to recognise the urgency of the moment.
I believe in Mr Peter Obi because Nigeria needs a different leadership culture: competence over connections, service over entitlement, accountability over excuses, and compassion over political arrogance.
We must stop confusing longevity in politics with capacity to lead.
Nigeria deserves a President who can carry the enormous responsibility of the office with energy, clarity, courage and commitment.
The presidency is not a retirement home. It is a national assignment. And Nigeria cannot afford another four years of misplaced priorities.

SALVATION MINISTRIES: CELEBRATING FAITH, VISION AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF GOD’S WORK
Following several meetings and engagements in Abuja yesterday, I travelled to Lagos in the evening to continue with additional meetings.
Early this morning, I journeyed from Lagos to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to attend the dedication service for the newly completed Global Headquarters and Cathedral of Salvation Ministries, under the leadership of Senior Pastor David Ibiyeomie, a respected man of God and prominent Christian leader.
The ceremony was a significant celebration of faith, worship and gratitude. I was especially struck by the vision, magnitude and architectural excellence of the new cathedral, which can accommodate more than 100,000 worshippers. This achievement represents a major milestone for the ministry and reflects the dedication, commitment and perseverance necessary to realise such an ambitious vision.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Pastor David Ibiyeomie, his wife and the entire team on this outstanding accomplishment. I also commend the Salvation Ministries family for its steadfast commitment to spreading the Gospel of Christ. -PO
