PRESS STATEMENT MY APPOINTMENT AS NATIONAL COORDINATOR OF THE OBIDIENT MOVEMENT: A CALL TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS TO RISE, ORGANISE AND RECLAIM THEIR FUTURE Nigeria has reached a point where silence is complicity and inaction is surrender. The time to act is NOW! I sincerely thank His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, and the leadership and members of the Obidient Movement for the confidence reposed in me through my appointment as National Coordinator. I accept this responsibility with humility and a firm commitment to the mission ahead. I am not accepting a title; I am accepting the responsibility to organise a generation and strengthen a movement whose mission is bigger than any individual. TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS: YOUR COUNTRY IS CALLING! How much longer must Nigerians endure hunger, unemployment, poverty, collapsing businesses and bad governance while corruption, waste and impunity thrive? Nigeria does not belong to politicians. It belongs to all of us, particularly the young generation whose future must not be sacrificed to the interests of a political elite. Our frustration is justified, but anger without organisation achieves little. We must move beyond hashtags and complaints to organised, peaceful and determined democratic action. We must become informed, active citizens who demand accountability and defend democracy. OUR VISION: FROM MOVEMENT TO NATIONAL FORCE The Obidient Movement represents the aspirations of millions who believe that competence, character, compassion and accountability must define leadership. Mr Peter Obi has inspired Nigerians to believe that a different country is possible, but rebuilding Nigeria requires organised citizens, not one individual. My priority is to build a functional, disciplined and inclusive structure across every state, LGA, ward, community and polling unit. Our direction will rest on five pillars: ORGANISE: Build functional structures with clear responsibilities and measurable results. UNITE: Overcome internal divisions and put the mission above personal interests. LISTEN: Give youths, women, professionals, workers and ordinary Nigerians a meaningful voice. COMMUNICATE: Establish coordinated, professional and truthful communication to counter misinformation. MOBILISE: Turn supporters into active citizens through civic education, voter participation and grassroots engagement. 2027: DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY! Reports of suspected AI-generated photographs in INEC's preliminary voter register and alleged irregularities in voter and polling-unit figures demand urgent investigation. One reported case alleges that a polling unit associated with Governor Monday Okpebholo increased from 397 registered voters in 2024 to 4,783 in 2026. If these records are verified as comparable for the same polling unit, this discrepancy demands a transparent explanation. INEC must provide answers and submit the register to an independent forensic audit. These allegations must not be treated as proof of electoral fraud, but neither should they be dismissed without investigation. We must prepare in advance with voter education, trained polling-unit volunteers, election monitoring, proper documentation, and lawful defence of the people's votes. The 2027 election must reflect the genuine choices of Nigerians, not manipulated records or electoral impunity. UNITY, RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTABILITY I recognise and appreciate Dr Yunusa Tanko for his dedication and contributions to the Movement. I am not coming to replace anyone but to work with everyone. No individual owns this Movement, and nobody should be bigger than its purpose. Leadership must be measured by service, commitment and results. Every coordinator, volunteer and supporter has a role to play in this national assignment. MY CHARGE TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS If not us, who? If not now, when? Reject the normalisation of poverty, ethnic and religious divisions, political manipulation and the sale of your conscience. Your PVC, your voice and your participation matter.

Today, Malumfashi LGA goes Obidient in full force! We are taking to the streets to demonstrate our grassroots strength and prove that we have the numbers across Katsina State, from every LGA to every polling unit. Malumfashi is Obidient. A New Nigeria is Possible! #Obidient

NIGERIA NEEDS LEADERSHIP WITH ENERGY, NOT AN ENTITLEMENT TO POWER! Watching the events surrounding President Tinubu in Akwa Ibom, where he appeared to stumble and nearly fall, is deeply sobering. I wish him good health and dignity. But we must not allow courtesy to silence a necessary national conversation. Nigeria is too important, too young, too energetic and too troubled to continue treating the presidency as a retirement entitlement. This is not about age discrimination. Age does not automatically disqualify anyone from leadership. But the Nigerian presidency demands extraordinary physical stamina, mental alertness, sound judgment, compassion and relentless energy. We have millions of young Nigerians struggling for survival, an economy in distress, insecurity everywhere and a generation desperate for opportunity. They need a leader who can match the urgency of their struggles. My pain is not that a President stumbled. My pain is that Nigeria itself continues to stumble while its political leadership refuses to recognise the urgency of the moment. I believe in Mr Peter Obi because Nigeria needs a different leadership culture: competence over connections, service over entitlement, accountability over excuses, and compassion over political arrogance. We must stop confusing longevity in politics with capacity to lead. Nigeria deserves a President who can carry the enormous responsibility of the office with energy, clarity, courage and commitment. The presidency is not a retirement home. It is a national assignment. And Nigeria cannot afford another four years of misplaced priorities. -Dr. Mo National Coordinator, Global Obidient Movement.
