‎We categorically reject any arrangement that places Peter Obi in a vice-presidential position- Sokoto Obidient Movement

They also pointed to the recent honorary title, Sarkin Maskan Pantami, conferred on Obi in Gombe State as evidence of Northern recognition of his integrity and leadership values.

‎

‎On the contentious issue of zoning and a possible vice-presidential slot, the Sokoto Obidient Movement issued a stern warning.

‎

‎“We categorically reject any arrangement that places Peter Obi in a vice-presidential position. He is the symbol of a new Nigeria and must remain the presidential flagbearer in 2027. Anything short of this would be a gross injustice to the hopes of millions,
