ACCEPTANCE OF NEW ASSIGNMENT AS POLITICAL ADVISER, NORTHERN NIGERIA
His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi,
Leaders, Stakeholders and Members of the Obidient Movement
Obidient House
Life Camp, Abuja
Your Excellency, Distinguished Leaders and Fellow Obidients,
With deep gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose, I write to formally accept my new assignment as Political Adviser, Northern Nigeria, to His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi.
I am honoured by the confidence placed in me. As we approach the 2027 general elections, the North remains central to our collective aspiration for a New Nigeria. In this role, I will contribute to political engagement, mobilisation and coordination efforts across the region. I will work alongside our structures, stakeholders, communities and supporters to help deepen engagement, strengthen our presence and broaden the base of our movement in furtherance of the political project of our leader, Mr Peter Obi.
Building on a strong foundation
This new assignment builds on the work we have done together over the past two years, during which I had the privilege of serving as National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.
A central focus of that period was strengthening the Movement's organisational structure and institutional framework. We established a National Advisory Council to deepen strategic engagement and to move the Movement beyond election-cycle activism toward a lasting institution.
Together, we achieved significant milestones, including:
- A truly national presence: the Movement now operates in all 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
- **Regional leadership: we developed five Regional Coordinators and one Regional Collegiate Council.
- Structures down to the grassroots:** we built coordination structures across the 37 state coordination areas and all 774 Local Government Areas.
- Digital mobilisation: we developed https://t.co/vpVLNed61E, a platform for mobilisation, engagement and recruitment with the capacity to support the mobilisation of millions of Nigerians.
- Protecting the vote: we developed an IReV-related election-results monitoring system designed to provide real-time updates from polling units across the country.
- Community engagement: we strengthened grassroots structures and expanded the Movement's engagement with communities, stakeholders and support groups across Nigeria.
These are only some of the milestones achieved through the collective efforts of our leaders, coordinators, volunteers and supporters. Whatever progress we made was a collective effort, and whatever challenges we encountered gave all of us important lessons. That foundation will serve as a strong springboard for the work ahead in the North.
Continuity in national coordination
This new role will require my full attention and presence across Northern Nigeria. I am therefore pleased that Dr Moses Paul (Dr Mo) now takes up the role of National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement. He will give the national coordination the daily attention, energy and inclusiveness that this critical period demands.
Dr Mo has been part of the Movement's journey from the start. He has shown commitment to civic engagement, grassroots mobilisation, communication and the broader struggle for a New Nigeria. I congratulate him warmly and have every confidence that his experience and understanding of the Movement will serve us well as we enter an even more demanding phase of our work. He has my full support, and I urge every leader, coordinator and volunteer to give him the same.
Appreciation
I sincerely thank His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, for his trust and leadership. I also appreciate every leader, volunteer, coordinator, supporter and ordinary Nigerian who has worked with me over these two years. Your sacrifice, commitment and belief in a better Nigeria made everything we achieved possible.
Our shared mission
In the Caliphate with a Message of Hope for the Poor and Unity in Nigeria.
Today, ahead of our town-hall engagements in Sokoto, Sokoto State, I had the privilege of paying a courtesy visit to His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, alongside my brother and running mate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and members of our team.
We used the opportunity of the visit to condole with him on the recent death of the Sardauna of Sokoto.
In my remarks, I emphasised the urgent need to unite and secure our nation, tackle poverty, create employment, and rebuild confidence in our country.
His Eminence warmly received us and spoke with the wisdom of a father and national leader. He recalled that he has known me for almost 46 years, since 1980, when I was in my first year at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and has maintained a cordial relationship since then.
He reminded us that leadership comes from Almighty Allah and carries a responsibility for which we will ultimately be held accountable. He also mentioned three critical priorities for Nigeria: security, poverty, and employment.
He additionally reminded us that our diversity of tribes, tongues, and faiths is part of God's creation and should be our strength, not our weakness. We do not seek to Islamise or Christianise anyone. We seek to build a Nigeria where every citizen can live safely, prosper, and have a genuine sense of belonging.
May Almighty God continue to bless His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, the people of Sokoto State, and our beloved Nigeria.

You don't have sense because you failed Maths.
I am surprised to see a statement from @atiku and @ADCNig campaign team including my name as a member of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s policy team for the 2027 presidential campaign.
For the record:
1. I was not consulted and did not give my consent to my name being published as a member of the ADC candidate’s policy team.
2. I am NOT, in fact a member of Atiku’s policy team, even unofficially or in any advisory capacity.
3. I have quit partisan politics in Nigeria since 2022. I have maintained, and continue to maintain, my non-partisan posture in our country’s national affairs. I am not a member or sympathizer of any political party in Nigeria.
4. My primary engagement is as President of @IGETAfrica , a non-partisan public policy think tank and executive education academy, and as CEO of Sogato Strategies, a geopolitical risk and regulatory strategy advisory firm.
5. I remain committed to my country, Nigeria and its progress, but such commitment does not have to entail ANY partisan alignment. I have adopted the path of statesmanship, not partisanship.

Let me categorically say again, I, Mr. Peter Obi, didn’t approach any financial institutions to borrow money or issue bonds on behalf of Anambra State in the 8 years I was in government. On the day I left office, I was not owing any salary
