The Obidient Movement has firmly refuted claims that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Vice President Atiku Obi have been given a vice-presidential position ahead of the 2027 general elections.  ,
The movement called the report “entirely baseless” and “imaginary to the author,” according to a statement released on Monday and signed by Nana Kazaure, its director of strategic communications and media.
According to a media release claiming that our principal, Peter Obi, has been offered a running mate position in the new coalition being formed ahead of 2027, The Obidient Movement has received numerous calls from its members both domestically and abroad, including from other members of the public.
The statement read, “We find it appropriate to react in view of possible far-reaching misconceptions in the public space, even though the publication is imaginary to the author,”

“Progress Than Power-Deals”
The group argued that these engagements are only meant to address national issues rather than power-sharing agreements, despite acknowledging ongoing discussions with various political partners and stakeholders.
Without any risk of contradiction, we would like to reiterate that Mr. Obi’s stated goal and involvement in a coalition is to fight back against and address the issues of the country’s poor governance, corruption, hunger, poverty, poor healthcare, out-of-school children, and the myriad of other issues that affect the country’s citizens daily, the statement continued.
We don’t want politics just for the sake of gaining power; we want a politics that is progressive, standing up for the people, and serving the great people of Nigeria.
The movement further emphasized that Mr. Obi will continue to support the Labour Party by saying unwaveringly, “As of right now, Mr. Peter Obi will remain in the Labour Party, and if this changes, he will do so himself.”
I’m a member of the “Council Against Poverty” movement.
Obi reaffirmed his commitment to issue-based politics earlier on Monday when he addressed the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Kubwa in Abuja.
I am a part of a coalition that opposes hunger, poverty, and a bad health. Politics is not about position; it is about doing what is right, Obi said during the discussion.
We talk about politics in this country without addressing the issues that matter to us. How we are going to educate the children is what we should be discussing.
The former governor of Anambra State dismissed rumors that he had agreed to be a running mate in 2027 and said such rumors were part of a “politics of selfish ambitions that are detrimental to the growth of the nation.”
In the 2023 presidential election, Obi, who placed third behind Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has remained a key player in opposition politics. Many analysts speculate that a coalition involving Obi and Atiku could present a formidable challenge in 2027.
