We categorically reject any arrangement that places Peter Obi in a vice-presidential position- Sokoto Obidient Movement
The Sokoto State chapter of the Obidient Movement has firmly rejected any suggestion that Peter Obi should accept a vice-presidential slot ahead of the 2027 general election, declaring that such a move would be a betrayal of the ideals and aspirations of millions of Nigerians who believe in his leadership.
This position was made clear during a press briefing held at the Sokoto State Secretariat on Thursday, where stakeholders of the movement also dismissed recent comments by a former Labour Party chieftain, Kenneth Okonkwo, who claimed that only a northern candidate could defeat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
“Peter Obi has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that he is a pan-Nigerian leader. His performance in the 2023 presidential election, including victories in places like Lagos and Abuja, proves that Nigerians are willing to look beyond tribal and regional lines to vote for competence,”
The group emphasised Obi’s growing popularity in the North, citing the strong presence of Obidient support structures across all 23 local government areas of Sokoto State. 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,
