The Obidient Movement has distanced itself from reports that it has endorsed the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, for a second term ahead of the November 8 governorship election in the state.
The Movement described the claim as fraudulent, unauthorized and grossly misleading.
Speaking via a statement by its National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, the movement explained that it is supporting the Labour Party’s governorship candidate, George Moghalu.
According to the statement, “The Obidient Movement, a nationwide citizens’ platform dedicated to promoting good governance, transparency, and the vision of His Excellency Peter Obi for a new Nigeria, has categorically disowned reports claiming that the Movement has endorsed Prof. Chukwuma Soludo for a second term as Governor of Anambra State.
“The Obidient Movement states unequivocally that it has not authorized, endorsed, or supported any candidate other than Mr. George Moghalu, who was earlier endorsed by His Excellency Peter Obi for the upcoming Anambra gubernatorial election.
“Any statements or representations suggesting otherwise are false and should be disregarded by the public.”
Yunusa insisted that the Movement remains independent, guided solely by its mission to promote integrity, accountability, and people-centered leadership across Nigeria.
“Its support for Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election was based on his proven track record and commitment to national transformation.
“Therefore, any individual or faction claiming to endorse other candidates does so in a personal capacity and not on behalf of the Obidient Movement,” he added.
