Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has said members of the Obidient movement have been reduced to nothing.
Adeyanju described members of the movement as destitute in the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and politically finished.
Posting on X, Adeyanju wrote, “It’s so lovely to see the once noisy obidient bullies reduced to absolutely nothing on this app. They are now destitute in ADC, completely finished politically.”
This comes as the National Coordinator of Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko dismissed claims that its members will ruin electoral chances.
In a statement he signed, Tanko said: “Claims that Obidients will “ruin” electoral chances ignore political reality. Elections are not won or lost because supporters speak loudly online.
“They are determined by organisation, alliances, credibility, and leadership.
“Blaming engaged citizens for political failure is an easy distraction from the harder work of governance.
“Obidients are not the problem. Within the ADC coalition and beyond, the movement represents an opportunity to build a more accountable and participatory politics.
“Any coalition or party serious about governing Nigeria must learn to engage such citizens, not fear them.”
