THE Peter Obi Media Office has acknowledged recent, coordinated efforts by political adversaries and disruptive individuals to create division, misrepresent our leader’s objectives, and foster artificial rifts within our movement dedicated to improving Nigeria.
“They dubiously try to ascribe their imagined words to our principal, aiming to create division in his fold. We feel it is imperative to directly and unequivocally address these manoeuvres,”
Idris Zekeri Jnr, POMR spokesman,
July 31, in a statement, adding: “Let us be clear: our endeavour is, and always has been, driven by a commitment to national progress, not personal ambition, ethnic appeals, or petty partisan squabbles.”
Part of the statement reads: “While our opponents are expending valuable time and resources on creating distractions, fabricating narratives, and attempting to undermine our unity, the pressing realities faced by ordinary Nigerians remain unchanged. Millions of households are grappling with escalating living expenses, rampant inflation, and widespread unemployment. A significant number of our citizens live in constant fear for their safety and their ability to earn a living across the nation.
“Our public institutions are in critical need of capable, ethical, and accountable leadership to provide essential services. This is precisely what our principal, Peter Obi, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) are committed to delivering. These are the fundamental challenges that demand our collective intelligence, energy, and unwavering dedication.
“To engage in the unproductive arena of political slander would be a disservice to the struggling populace who place their hope in our principal for viable solutions. We urge those who are attempting to sow discord to redirect their efforts towards proposing concrete solutions to the immense challenges confronting our nation. Regardless of sponsored disinformation campaigns or calculated attempts at division, a movement founded on truth, competence, and a genuine desire to restore Nigeria will not be deterred.
“We implore our devoted supporters, including the OBIdients and Kwankwasoiyya movements, and all Nigerians of good conscience, to disregard rumours, fabricated stories, and deliberate provocations, including the purported sack of the Obidient Movement National Coordinator, Dr Yunusa Tanko. Our opponents rely on division because they lack a tangible record or a compelling vision to present to the public.
“Our collective strength lies in our shared dedication to forging a Nigeria that is functional, prosperous, and secure. Let us remain resolute, undeterred, and fully committed to the crucial task of transforming Nigeria from a consumption-based economy to one focused on production.
“May God bless you all, and may God bless Nigeria of our dream that is Possible.”
