I have followed the conversations and reactions surrounding the recent statements by Datti Baba-Ahmed and others. I believe it is important to put a few things in perspective, calmly, thoughtfully and without unnecessary emotions. First, the Obidient Movement remains a family. A family brought together by a common aspiration, shared convictions and an unwavering desire to see Nigeria work for all its citizens. The Obidient Movement is fundamentally about good governance, accountability, competence, character, security, education, economic opportunities and, above all, the dignity of the Nigerian people. For those who have had the privilege of engaging closely with Mr. @PeterObi, one thing I have consistently observed is his disposition towards people. He often refers to others, including those with whom he may have political differences, as his elder or younger brothers. He recognises that human relationships and mutual respect must transcend politics. We must learn from that disposition. Nigeria has several opposition leaders, including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and others pursuing their political aspirations. They deserve respect. They have their individual strengths, experiences and contributions to our nation's political development. However, the Obidient Movement, as a collective, has made a conscious political choice. We have chosen to focus our energy, commitment and mobilisation around Mr. @PeterObi because we believe he best represents the competence, capacity, character, compassion, energy and values we desire in national leadership. That is our choice, just as others are entitled to make theirs. Some of my very good friends and respected comrades have moved on to other political platforms. Everyone has the right to choose their political affiliations, convictions and leanings. Nobody should be vilified, insulted or treated as an enemy for exercising that right. But there is another issue we must not ignore. We must be conscious that some individuals deliberately penetrate or infiltrate the Obidient Movement, sometimes presenting themselves as genuine members, supporters or stakeholders, only to introduce misinformation, provoke unnecessary controversies, distort conversations, misrepresent positions and deliberately create divisions within our ranks. Some make provocative statements in the name of the movement, while others deliberately attribute their personal opinions, political interests or manufactured narratives to the Obidient family. We must be discerning. Not everyone who claims to be an Obidient represents the movement, and not everyone who invokes our name speaks for us. We must not allow infiltrators, mischief-makers or agents of misinformation to define our identity, dictate our conversations or undermine the trust we have built over time. Disagreements are normal in every family. Political differences should never become an excuse for hostility, suspicion or the destruction of relationships. Equally, unity must not mean abandoning our principles or surrendering our collective responsibility to speak the truth. Let us also remember that the Obidient Movement is a people driven movement anchored on the demand for a better Nigeria. Our support for Mr. @PeterObi is a political expression of that larger aspiration, not a licence to disrespect others or abandon the values that brought us together. The Obidient Movement is bigger than individuals, social media conversations, personal ambitions and temporary political disagreements. Let us organise, mobilise, enlighten, protect our integrity and remain focused. Let us disagree without destroying one another, and let us never allow those who seek to divide us to distract us from the bigger mission. The mission is bigger than all of us. One family. One purpose. One collective aspiration. Mr. Peter Obi is coming, and A New Nigeria is POssible! Dr. Mo National Coordinator Obidient Movement
