Tinubu’s aide assures of party victory in 2027
The Obidient Movement, the heartbeat of Nigeria’s youth-driven political awakening, has drawn the attention of the former Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, to what it described as systemic exclusion and growing marginalisation of the group within the coalition it helped to build.
 
In a letter dated July 29, 2025, and signed by its National Coordinator, Dr Tanko Yunusa, the movement expressed grievances over its deliberate omission from key decision-making processes. 

The letter accused coalition leaders of sidelining its representatives from critical strategy meetings and failing to grant the movement appropriate representation in both working and non-working committees across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
 
It said: “Our people are deliberately excluded at all levels. This creates an impression of marginalisation and undermines trust, which is essential for building a sustainable partnership.”
 
While reaffirming their loyalty to the shared goal of a “New Nigeria,” the Obidients are demanding nothing short of structural reform to guarantee fairness, transparency, and respect. They insisted that their contributions, both online and on the ground, must be acknowledged in how power and responsibility are shared.

MEANWHILE, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on New Media, Olusegun Dada, has stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would continue to emerge victorious in elections against the opposition with an effective media strategy.
   
Dada, who stated this on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief yesterday, said that Tinubu’s media team adopted an effective digital strategy that made the former Lagos State governor, who many thought was unelectable, win the 2023 presidential election.
   
He said: “We were able to ensure that we elected a President that people initially said was unelectable. We elected him, and we have continued on that trajectory.
  
“In the run-up to the 2023 elections, we were able to sell and push our candidates despite the noise, the lies and the distraction. So, it’s not as if we have not been dealing with these individuals (Obidients) before. 
 
 “Some of them have just changed their cloaks. They are no longer, maybe, in the Obidient Movement and now in the coalition, but all the same, they are all the same people.”
