During a recent interview on Arise TV from 09:52, Onochie Osheokwu, the South South Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, shared insights into the enduring appeal and strength of Peter Obi within Nigeria’s political sphere. He likened Obi’s widespread admiration to that of a highly desired figure, gaining support from various regions and demographics across the country.
Osheokwu explained that Obi’s growing popularity has come with significant challenges. From the onset of his political journey on the national stage, Obi was well aware of the difficulties that lay ahead. His decision to push for reform and transparency was bound to invite opposition from those benefiting from the status quo.
He pointed out that even before the movement gained full momentum, Obi anticipated resistance and criticism. He understood that advocating for change in a deeply entrenched political system would attract attacks and attempts to undermine his credibility. Nonetheless, he chose to proceed, accepting the obstacles as part of the mission.
Osheokwu highlighted Obi’s ability to maintain his composure amid pressure and hostility. Despite being a frequent target of criticism, Obi has consistently focused on his vision rather than engaging in personal battles or distractions. This calm and calculated approach has only deepened the respect many have for him.
He also pointed out that Obi’s steady character has helped sustain the energy and commitment of the Obidient Movement. Supporters are drawn to a leader who does not waver in the face of opposition and who continues to lead with purpose and integrity. This consistency reinforces the movement’s belief in lasting transformation.
According to Osheokwu, Obi remains one of Nigeria’s most admired political figures, not just because of what he stands for, but also because of how he handles adversity. His resilience, foresight, and unwavering dedication to the cause continue to make him a central figure in the country’s push for meaningful change.
He said, “Obi is a beautiful bride. One of the things he said when we started this is, ‘well, I knew what I’m coming for. I know what to come for me. I know the attacks that will come.’ But he’s staying steady.”
