Meanwhile, a political group previously loyal to Mr Peter Obi, the Obidient Movement, has stated that he stood the risk of losing the support of the movement in the 2027 general election.

The Coordinator of the movement, Mr Ikenna Azomchine, stated this in Awka, Anambra State yesterday, saying Obi abandoned members of the movement after the 2023 presidential election when he ran as the candidate of Labour Party (LP).

Azomchine said the group would mobilise against all members of National Assembly who rode on the back of Obi to win election, but no longer living up to the ideals of the people.

The coordinator, who briefed journalists alongside other leaders of the movement said the group stood for good governance, and that it would not support any particular candidate or party, but urged the electorate to support candidates across parties, that they could trust.

He said: “We are telling the members of Obedient Movement that we are here to tell them to go out in the next election and vote for the best candidates. We have a template of competence and credibility in election, and we have done it before.
