In a stunning show of unity, purpose, and people-powered hope, the Obidient Movement on July 19 turned every corner of Nigeria into a celebration of integrity and visionary leadership as supporters across the 36 states peacefully marked the 64th birthday of His Excellency, Peter Obi.
Without state funds, without official mandates, but with unmatched devotion, Obidients came out in their numbers — flying banners, sharing cake, planting trees, hosting dialogues, and engaging in peaceful rallies.
From town halls to traffic junctions, the people spoke with their feet and their hearts: Peter Obi’s vision lives on in us.
This was not a party sponsored by the elite. It was a movement sustained by ordinary Nigerians using their own sweat, savings, and soul.
Volunteers printed shirts, rented sound systems, and fed crowds — not for profit, but for purpose.
Dr. Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Movement, described it as a “clear message that the people are awake and unshaken in their belief that a New Nigeria is possible.”
He praised state coordinators, grassroots organisers, and everyday citizens who made the celebration peaceful and powerful.
To Obi himself, the Movement expressed deep gratitude — for leading not with force, but with values; not with fanfare, but with truth.
“Your life is a lesson in servant leadership,” read one statement. “You’ve shown us that decency can be powerful and compassion can be revolutionary.”
As the candles dimmed on the cake, the flame in the hearts of Obidients only grew brighter.
From here, the Movement says it will press on — not just to celebrate, but to organise, educate, and build.
Because this birthday was not just a moment. It was a mandate to keep going.
