Peter Obi Calls for Transparency, Warns Against Attempt To Undermine Democratic Process.
The Political Change Agent, authored by veteran journalist Iky Boy, explores the political rise of Peter Obi and his impact on Nigeria's democratic landscape. The event brought together political leaders, social advocates, and youth voices united by a shared concern for Nigeria's worsening socio-economic conditions.
May we draw inspiration not just from Peter Obi himself, but from the movement he has catalyzed—a movement that proclaims, in one voice, that Nigeria must and shall rise again. Remember when they said we were just four people tweeting in a room? Well, I must see those four people where they tweet!
As we move forward today, it's not just about Mr. Peter Obi or about saying, "I voted for him and went home." It’s about recognizing that as Nigerians when we vote, our votes must be counted and entered. No one born of a woman, whether in an institution or elsewhere, has the power to undermine that.
Former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Sam Amadi, painted a grim warning that without urgent reforms, 20 million more Nigerians could plunge into poverty. We can no longer continue with the old ways of distributing privileges and sharing the loot. We need leaders who understand how the economy works and who can bring people together to create wealth.
Peter Obi also focused on the 2027 election, calling for transparency and warning against any attempts to undermine the democratic process. He stated, "If you want to make money from politics, know that you are part of the problem. So don’t tell us that you are listening." This time around, we will ensure that we are vigilant, that our votes will count, and that those who think they can disregard our votes will be proven wrong.
The Obedient Movement concluded the gathering with a call to action, urging Nigerians to reject political structures that have failed to prioritize the welfare of its citizens.
