PRESS STATEMENT

OBIDIENT MOVEMENT REJECTS THE APPOINTMENT OF THEO ABU AGADA AND DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM NDC LEADERSHIP AND TANKO YUNUSA

The attention of the Obidient Movement has been drawn to the appointment of Theo Abu Agada as Director of New Media and Strategic Communications by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.

We condemn this appointment in the strongest possible terms.

This appointment is not just insensitive. It is a direct insult to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the Obidient Movement, and the millions of Nigerians who have stood firmly behind a movement built on competence, character, justice, accountability, and people-centred politics.

A party that claims to value the Obidient Movement cannot turn around and appoint a man whose public record is filled with repeated attacks, insults, and open hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients. You cannot disrespect the largest support base within your political structure and still pretend you are building unity.

Theo Abu Agada has publicly described supporters of their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in insulting terms. He has questioned Peter Obi’s capacity, portrayed him as a threat to free speech, accused his supporters with reckless language, and repeatedly made statements that show clear contempt for the same movement NDC now expects to energise its public communication.

Even worse, he once claimed that Peter Obi had “unleashed his IPOB supporters on Nigerians.” That kind of statement goes beyond political disagreement. It is a dangerous attempt to link their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients to IPOB, and by extension paint the movement with the brush of extremism and terrorism. No serious political party that respects Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement should reward such a person with a sensitive communications position.

Can NDC appoint someone who has publicly insulted and disparaged Rabiu Kwankwaso or the Kwankwasiyya Movement into a sensitive communications position and expect Kwankwasiyya supporters to clap for it? Can NDC reward someone who has repeatedly attacked Kwankwaso and still claim it respects his movement?

If the answer is no, then why does NDC think it can do this to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement?

The NDC leadership must explain how such a person passed through any serious political vetting process for a sensitive communications role. New Media and Strategic Communications is not a decoration. It is the public voice of a party. Appointing someone with a history of hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement into that office sends a very clear message, and the message is disrespect.

This also raises serious questions about the role and effectiveness of Tanko Yunusa as the leader of the Obidient Movement.

What exactly is Tanko doing?

In the Labour Party, he was always seen around the leadership, taking pictures and standing close to Peter Obi, yet the same Labour Party repeatedly disrespected Peter Obi and the movement he was supposed to represent.

In ADC, the same pattern repeated itself. The Obidient Movement was treated with disregard, and its value was undermined.

Now in NDC, the same thing is happening again. The party leadership continues to disregard the Obidient Movement, even though Obidients remain the largest, loudest, and most active stakeholder group in this political alignment. That disregard has now reached their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, directly through the appointment of someone whose public record shows open hostility towards him.

So we ask again: what exactly is Tanko doing?

Is he there to defend the movement, or to take pictures?

Is he there to protect Peter Obi’s political leverage, or to stand in rooms like a mannequin?

Is he there to represent Obidients, or to lock comment sections whenever people ask uncomfortable questions?

Tanko Yunusa must answer a simple question: what the hell is he doing?

The Obidient Movement cannot continue to be treated as a crowd for rallies, online engagement, and political optics, while those who openly insult the movement are put in strategic positions where they will continue the insults.

We demand the following:

1. The immediate reversal of Theo Abu Agada’s appointment.
2. A public explanation from the NDC leadership on how this appointment was approved.
3. A formal apology to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement.
4. A clear commitment from NDC that no individual with a public record of hostility towards Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement will be placed in any sensitive strategic communication role.
5. A full explanation from Tanko Yunusa on what he is doing as leader of the Obidient Movement and why this pattern of disrespect keeps repeating itself under his watch.

The Obidient Movement is not a spare tyre. We are not political furniture. We are not a movement to be used when convenient and disrespected when power is being shared.

If NDC wants the energy, credibility, reach, and sacrifice of Obidients, then it must treat the movement with respect.

Anything short of that is unacceptable.

@NigeriaNDCHQ @iamHSDickson @NigerianNDCQ get the party together. It’s now involved in lots of mess these past few weeks I am beginning get tired. This is not the outlook we want for this party going into the election!!!! Common!!!

[PATO PATO🇳🇬🇺🇸 @peculiarpat1]

Dear @NigeriaNDCHQ, @PeterObi, @KwankwasoRM, @iamHSDickson, @YunusaTanko,

After the primaries tomorrow, concrete efforts should be made immediately to ensure that the NDC doesn't just have an agent in every polling unit, but agents who can withstand any type of pressure. This was one of the greatest mistakes the LP made in the 2023 elections.

Secondly, there must be mini situation rooms in all 36 states of the federation and a mega one in Abuja. Again, this was a costly mistake made in 2023.

The NDC is a youth-propelled political party; we must activate the advantage that the youth bring. On no occasion must we allow what happened in 2023 to be repeated in 2027.

My advice is that the assignment to coordinate both should be given to competent hands as soon as possible. If this requires funding, let the committee start working on fundraising as well.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Cl @iamUkoto]

@itadaremercy We need to stop or ban this GRV talk it’s now getting tiring. ADC and GRV should face themselves. Let’s focus on NDC, Peter Obi and winning our elections. We don’t care about GRV!!!! @itadaremercy
