As the 2027 General Elections approach,
Ensure you get your PVC. After that, make sure you go out and vote on election day.
Also be reminded that elections in Nigeria do not end at the polling unit.
That’s where the real work begins.
After voting:
1. Stay back and ensure your vote is counted
2. Record and document results at your polling unit
3. Take pictures of result sheets (where allowed)
4. Follow results to collation centers
5. Report irregularities immediately
6. Don’t be intimidated into leaving early
Your vote is your power.
Protect it.
My dear Obidient family, Kwankwasiyya brothers and sisters, and all well-meaning Nigerians,
Let us not be distracted by events around the NDC and the emergence of our candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso as running mate. The APC, ADC and other opposition forces are uncomfortable because they see our growing strength.
We may not like every driver of this NDC vehicle, but this is about rescuing Nigeria, not comfort. Peter Obi remains the best option to reset our country towards prosperity.
Let us calm our tensions, especially within the Obidient movement. Extend understanding, build a peaceful working relationship with the party, and focus our energy on delivering victory for this ticket.
#NigeriaWillBeOK
I strongly believe that RATELS will play a major role in the forthcoming elections.
While everyone will be focusing on OBIDIENTS, the real game-changers may well be the RATELS.
I believe the RATELS will become one of the most influential forces in shaping the outcome of the 2027 Elections..

An Open Letter to the Obidient Movement
Dear Obidients,
I understand the disappointment, anger, and frustration many people feel over the appointment of Mr. Theo @TheoAbuAgada as Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, especially given his past attacks on Peter Obi and the Obidient movement.
For many supporters, the expectation was that Peter Obi would object to such an appointment or push back against the decision. Some have even interpreted it as an attempt by the NDC leadership to sideline or suppress the Obidient movement while strengthening its alignment with other political interests ahead of 2031 elections. These concerns are understandable, particularly for those who have invested their time, energy, and emotions in defending Peter Obi and the ideals he represents.
However, this moment also gives us an opportunity to reflect on the values that attracted many of us to Peter Obi in the first place.
Peter Obi has consistently demonstrated that public offices and responsibilities should be given to those who are capable of delivering results, not merely to those who are loyal supporters. Throughout his public life, he has advocated competence, merit, accountability, and service above personal relationships, family ties, or political patronage.
This is the same man who, as governor, became known for putting public interest above personal interest. He did not believe opportunities should be distributed as rewards to friends, family members, or political supporters. His belief has always been simple: the best person for the job should do the job.
If that principle is good enough for Nigeria, then it should also be good enough for us.
Supporting Peter Obi should not create an expectation that every position, appointment, or opportunity must automatically go to an Obidient. If that becomes our expectation, then many people may find themselves disappointed even if Peter Obi eventually becomes President, because he is unlikely to abandon meritocracy for favoritism.
The real question should not be, “Did this person support Peter Obi?” The question should be, “Can this person effectively perform the role he has been given?”
There is also another way to look at this situation.
Sometimes the greatest vindication is not defeating your critics, but watching them eventually work toward the progress of the very cause they once opposed. There is a certain irony in seeing someone who once criticized, attacked, or underestimated a movement later find himself contributing to its advancement.
Politics is full of such examples. People change positions, alliances shift, and former critics sometimes become defenders. What matters is not where they started, but whether their current actions contribute positively to the mission.
As Obidients, our commitment should be to the principles Peter Obi represents: competence, character, capacity, accountability, and national development. If we truly believe in those values, then we must be willing to apply them consistently even when doing so is uncomfortable.
Let us remain focused on the bigger objective: building a better Nigeria based on merit, not entitlement; service, not patronage; and competence, not sentiment.
That is the standard Peter Obi has always preached.
And that is the standard we should uphold.
Yours sincerely,
A Fellow Obidient

Signed:
Osa Director
National Publicity Secretary
Nigeria Democratic Congress
PRESS STATEMENT
A delegation of the national leadership of the Kwankwasiya movement last night met with the national leader, His Excellency Senator Henry Seriake Dickson and the leadership of the NDC.
The close door meeting was aimed at resolving the issues between the Kwankwasiya movement and the legacy officials of NDC in Kano State.
Senator Dickson and the NDC leadership are mediating in the process in order to enhance inclusion and participation by every party member. The NDC leadership will not impose candidates in Kano State, and indeed across the nation as the party cherishes the virtues of internal democracy.
The meeting which lasted several hours was productive.
The NDC has not released any official results of its primary elections in any state. Hence, the public and party members are urged to disregard any such list in circulation.
E-sign: Osa Director Esq
National Publicity Secretary
@Chude_ND1 Here’s my thought, we just need to trust NDC. If there's any internal issue, let's trust that Peter Obi can handle it.
Our major goal should be winning elections, not detecting how the party is being run.

Please let's work trust the party, if there’s any attempt to rediclue our principal, he should be the one to tell us.
If we keep reacting to every decision they make that doesn't favour us, then we'll end up in chaos.
