2023 Gubernatorial: We Have Transferred The Mantle From Peter Obi – Obidient Movement Endorses PDP Candidate

The Obedient Movement in Enugu has allegedly pitched its tent with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, Dr Peter Mbah in the upcoming March 18 polls

The group stated that their support for Mbah is based on his impeccable character, competence and capacity.

The movement noted that their principal, Peter Obi had told them to vote for those they have confidence in, hence the decision to transfer the mantle from the Labour Party flag bearer to the PDP governorship candidate.

A founding member of the group, Kennedy Iyere stated this on Tuesday at a ceremony attended by members of the Obidients Movement in Enugu.

He said, “We stand here today to identify with you, Dr Peter Mbah. The potential that you have, has compelled the Obidients to come to you. You are going to be the next governor of this state because you have all it takes to lead the state well.

“The competence that spoke for Peter Obi is now speaking for Peter Mbah. The capacity that speaks for Peter Obi also speaks for Peter Mbah. Peter Obi built Fidelity Bank. He also built Next Cash and Carry.

“Peter Mbah built Pinnacle Oil and Gas. He also built other successful businesses. Anybody that has not built anything is not fit to govern one of the greatest Igbo states.

“Peter Obi became a movement because we saw beauty in him that the PDP didn’t see. The same beauty we have seen in Mbah, we are telling Enugu State people to see.

“What you can give to the Obidients movement is good governance when you become governor of this state.”

Iyere noted that for the peace of Enugu State, political stability, good governance, the welfare of the citizenry, the security of the citizens, you need to look out for a man with character.

“Legitimacy also speaks for you. Peter Obi has told us on Arise Television to support anybody with character, competence, capacity, and credibility. So, we are working on that footstep and we are transferring the mantle to Peter Mbah.”
