FCT, Abuja - On Thursday, May 29, Saidu Abdulrahman, a Guinness world record holder in photography joined the 'Obidient' movement family.

The development comes as Nigerians look forward to the 2027 election.

Legit.ng reports that 'Obidients' is a sobriquet for hardcore supporters of Peter Obi, a presidential hopeful.

Sharing the update about Abdulrahman and other northern youths becoming 'Obidients', Yunusa Tanko, the interim national coordinator of the Obidient movement worldwide, promised that more young persons will align with Obi, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP).

Tanko wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle:

"Today we welcome more youths from the core North Bauchi, Kano, Sokoto Yobe, and Zamfara States led by Hon Shuaibu Fagge from Kano, including Saidu Abdulrahman Guinness World Record holder in photography into the Obidient Movement Family. More are coming. A New Nigeria is POssible."

Obidient movement engages Borno stakeholders

Meanwhile, the nationwide Obidient movement recently embarked on a strategic engagement with key stakeholders in Borno state, as part of its efforts to consolidate support ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Tanko led a delegation to Maiduguri, the state capital, where he met with members of the Obidient movement, visited flood affected markets and held discussions with youth groups.

According to Tanko, the visit was aimed at reciprocating the love and support shown by the people of Borno state to the movement’s principal, Obi, during the 2023 presidential election.

The Nigerian Tribune quoted Tanko as saying:

“I am here to show love to those who have shown love to us."

Furthermore, Tanko commended Obi’s 'achievements' as a former governor, particularly in the areas of industry, youth employment, security and what he termed the “five Cs”: credibility, accountability and consistency.

He stressed the need for good governance and called on Nigerians to work together towards a more prosperous nation.

Obidients' stance on anti-Tinubu coalition

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that members of the Obidient movement said they would not be part of any alliance if Obi is not its presidential flagbearer.

The campaign structure of the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 election maintained that any arrangements without Obi as the standard-bearer is dead on arrival.

For Obidients, Atiku, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, should support Obi, an erstwhile governor of Anambra state.
