A former Director of Mobilisation of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has tendered an open apology over the tone of his resignation letter dated November 10, 2025.

In the resignation letter, Monye had stated that despite his passion and financial commitment to the movement, its poor outing in the Anambra election made his continued stay untenable.

He also claimed to have spent personal funds on mobilisation efforts, including nationwide travels, support for local structures, voter awareness campaigns, and logistics, without financial backing from the leadership of the movement or former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

However, in an apology posted on his X account on May 21, 2026, Monye admitted that he acted out of frustration and immaturity when he released the resignation letter.

According to him, he allowed personal emotions to cloud his judgment and made statements that “subtly and unnecessarily” dragged Obi into controversy.

“That was wrong. It was childish and beneath the standard I should have upheld, especially as someone who once held a leadership position in this movement,” he wrote.

Monye accepted full responsibility for the letter, stressing that no one influenced or edited it before publication.

“I deleted the letter afterwards, but I know deletion does not erase the damage, the disappointment, or the loss of trust many of you felt,” he added.

He also apologised directly to Obi, saying his comments did not reflect the values of sacrifice, accountability, and constructive criticism associated with the former Anambra governor.

Addressing members of the Obidient Movement, Monye said: “You are the real heroes of this movement. Many of you are young people full of hope and fire for a better Nigeria. You didn’t deserve to see internal cracks turned into public drama. I let you down.”

He maintained that the apology was not motivated by a desire to regain relevance or secure any position within the movement, adding that he was enjoying private life but felt compelled to do the right thing.

“Leadership is not only about when the road is sweet and smooth, but also about owning up when one messes up,” he said.

Monye concluded by saying he remained committed to rebuilding trust through his actions and reiterated his respect for the Obidient Movement and its ideals.

“The love I have for a better Nigeria has not changed. My respect for the Obidient spirit remains. I am truly sorry,” he stated.
