In political movements, the original founders and supporters retain ownership of the movement's identity and name, regardless of later political associations; accusations of 'hijacking' a movement by a political figure are often unfounded when the movement was established independently by civil society organizations before the figure's involvement.

Obidient WARN ABURE AS FORMER CHAIRMAN MOVE TO TAKEOVER OBIDIENT MOVEMENT,ACCUSE OBI OF HIJACKAdded:
Hey guys, good day to you all. Welcome to my channel.
>> [clears throat] >> So, Abure and his cohorts God knows.
Probably they have collected money from some individuals and they're on a mission against Peter Obi.
>> [snorts] >> Yesterday, Abure was talking about Peter Obi and me talking about the whole stuff, seeing the video, really got me angry.
But what I'm seeing right now and what I saw yesterday, I don't even know which one is pissing me off the more right now.
Abure is done fighting the Labour Party, or should I say he wants to fight two battles at the same time, attacking Alex Otti of Abia State and attacking Peter Obi of the NDC.
Abure, aside from accusing Peter Obi of destroying the Labour Party, working hand-in-hand with Alex Otti, is now accusing Peter Obi of hijacking the Obedient movement.
Abure and his cohorts are even on media houses talking about the Obedient movement.
And me, I'm just wondering, what is the problem of Julius Abure?
What's the color to these people's problem?
Is Peter Obi the only person person contesting in an election?
Why is it that these individuals will stoop this low to go and collect money all in the name to fight to tarnish the image of PETER OBI?
NOW, EVEN if Peter Obi were to hijack the Obedient movement, how is it the business of Julius Abure?
How is it his business?
These guys were not even there when the word Obedient was coined and the individuals who COINED IT.
SO, I DON'T KNOW ALL THIS MADNESS, all this obsession about Peter Obi.
This same man they have been attacking left, right, center, and he has been concentrating on how to make Nigeria better.
That's exactly what he's doing. While Abure and his cohorts are finding ways to tarnish the tarnish the image of Peter Obi, Peter Obi is busy focusing on the next election and of course delivering what he promised to the people looking for ways to make sure that he's going to deliver to the people. So, I I don't think Peter Obi will have the time to respond to these kind of individuals, but I think it's something that the coordinator of the Obedient Movement should take seriously. Like I don't like what's going on here. Like it's really getting me angry and I'm sure a lot of Obedients are also in my shoes judging by the reaction of these individuals. Now, before I get to show you Julius Abure and some unscrupulous elements, you know, making the news and so on of themselves, I'm going to show you Peter Obi himself reacting to the whole talk about Goodluck Ebele Jonathan contesting in the next election. They're gone. Okay, I say in a nutshell, can you just let us understand what's happened inside while you took 2 and 1/2 hours to do really Yeah. Well, it's democracy in action.
Because and NDC we're choosing to do things properly.
So, when we say it is going to be screening, it's going to be screening.
People want to know whether you've fulfilled from the stipulated constitutional qualification and provide the relevant documents to back that and know that everything you've said or declared is nothing but the truth.
And then to answer questions that were posed about your commitment to building a united secure and prosperous Nigeria.
That's what to ask.
Is it Is it Is it true you are the sole presidential candidate for the party based on consensus from what we heard?
How can it be based on consensus? The party opened up their expression for people to buy expression form. So, there was no consensus yet.
Because people I bought the form. I don't know other people who bought.
So, the party says I'm the only one who expressed interest.
That's it.
Coming off former president Goodluck Jonathan, he told the press a lot of people are praying. It's a ploy to actually diminish your as you are diminishing your desire for candidature in the south. No, he actually he actually I'm not aware of that.
But democracy is about people offering themselves for service and being voted for.
I'm not there in any way going around looking for who and who is contesting.
I'm concentrating on how to build a better Nigeria.
How will you build a better Nigeria, sir?
If you were just tell us how you build a better Nigeria.
By first uniting the country. Because it's not a united country.
We have to govern the country by the constitution of Nigeria, which stipulates that there's a federal character where you have to make sure that it is inclusive. The country must be united.
The country must be secured.
We want to see where mothers can no longer fear when their children go to school.
When they can no longer fear when their children go to work.
And where when we can travel all over Nigeria without fear.
We have to think about how to feed the people of Nigeria.
So many Nigerians today go to bed not knowing where the next meal will come from tomorrow.
That must change.
We must live in a country where people do not turn public assets and public wealth as their private assets.
So we must fight corruption to a standstill.
And make it work for everybody.
A Nigeria where like I say every day a child of nobody can be somebody without knowing anybody.
A Nigeria that will work for all. And our commitment is total. Where whatever the lead those who are aspiring like I'm doing or contesting say they will do it. And if they don't do it nobody expects 100% result. We want to see 100% effort. And where necessary communicate with the people. So I'll be talking to Nigerians. If there's killing, I have to tell them why.
What we are doing to mitigate that.
To ensure that it doesn't happen as it happened today. Where you wake up every day in Nigeria, all you hear is about killing.
Nigerians dying every day without anybody caring.
Politicians are preoccupied by the next election when Nigerians are dying, that must stop.
Thank you. Thank you.
Now you see the difference between Peter Obi and some of these individuals.
The ADC already is aware that Jonathan is going to be on the ballot. In fact, they don't even they discuss that one since because Dele Momodu talked about it.
I'm sure the APC also they have talked about it in their group chats.
In the next couple of days we'll see their media aids and some other persons they have paid paid also to come and talk against Goodluck Jonathan.
But Peter Obi here is not even paying attention to some of some of all these things.
He's he doesn't want care who is going to be on the ballot and who is not going to be on the ballot. The most important thing is that he's on the ballot. Let Nigerians go and decide.
Someone is asking, "Why did the screening take a whole 2 hours?" If the screening want to take 10 hours, let it take 10 hours. We need people who want to you know, vie for positions like this still be grind what is grind like serious grinding.
When they say you give them interview, give them what interview is supposed to be.
So, I would love a situation where the NDC would want to do things differently or would do things differently. That is actually what I look forward to.
There should be a political party that is different.
Like the NDC said, they made announcement that they are zoning to the south. So, [snorts] if other people did not come up to pick up the form, that's the person's cup of tea.
So, I hear this impression people are trying to create that Peter Obi just want a free ticket.
Just the way they were shouting the ADC were shouting that Peter Obi wants a free meal.
He doesn't want to fight. He's afraid of primaries.
Here we are today I'm making insistence on insisting on primaries and you'll be wondering between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar who is more afraid of the primaries?
And I'm sure they will not they will tell you there's no time. According to Dele Momodu, just pick one person off even the screening they will not do.
So, having screening done for 2-3 hours is a good thing, no be bad thing.
So far they know waiting they screen the person for they screen thoroughly. I do not have a problem.
I just do not have a problem.
Look, I don't like I said, Peter Obi don't even need to do much. It is the people. Yes, all he needs to do is let the people know that okay, I will remain consistent.
I have remained consistent.
I am fit for the job.
Trying to tell Nigerians that you are actually fit for the job.
All these other things where people they do, this whole side thing here, you attack from there, the other one is attacking from the left. Right now we have the Labour Party Atiku side.
We have uh what is it called? The other side um the ADC. Then we have the APC.
Then we have the Atiku supporters.
And then we have Kenneth Okonkwo.
So many people from different corner attacking one person. They're even talking of that one. Even the the chairman of People's Redemption Party has also joined them.
And from the look OF THINGS, THAT IS HIMSELF DON'T LIKELY THEY JOIN THEM.
One man.
How many group of individuals?
Yet he pays no attention to what you guys are trying to do.
I see this kind of the kind of screening they've been doing all these years.
Maybe even in some political parties they don't do screening.
That is why you find journalists finding it odd that screening was done for 2 hours.
I mean make I make sense to me.
So, it's obvious that most of these political parties don't even do screening. And even when they do, they don't even do thorough screening.
Hence, we find these kind of questions being asked.
My owner, anybody with the try to work against Peter Obi is definitely going to backfire.
It will.
And you cannot take away the Obi supporters from him.
Even when the momentum started building, Peter Obi no know.
And quite sure Peter Obi doesn't doesn't even know how the obedient movement came about.
I'M [clears throat] SURE HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW THEY sat and discussed about it.
I'm sure he doesn't know.
But he sure do know that he has supporters who decided to say, "Oh, this is what we have decided to turn our movement."
And today we have the useless Abure and some other individuals just spewing rubbish, getting on my nerves.
I don't blame these individuals. Again, now the media with the give them the attention, now here I blame. I'm going to show you Julius Abure, who is busy trying to make money from the APC with Peter Obi's name, and of course, how the Obidients have been reacting to this before we come back to wrap things up.
And I'm sure that that's why he's here.
And of course, a lot of people who are in the Obidients were recruited through the Labour Party platform. I'm sure you you also know of that. So, having said all of this, I will allow Dr. Peter Piper to throw some light on the question.
And we don't shave a mindset of this. He has here. So, he will speak for himself.
All right. All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. My name is Peter Michael Piper.
And here I want to ask you answer your question directly.
The Obedience Movement was never formed by Peter Obi.
The Obedience Movement was a construct of the Civil Society Movements.
And these Civil Society Movements have been on this far, far, far before Peter Obi came on board.
Now, I have the documents here to prove it.
Here is the certificate of the Obedience Movement.
It was registered since 2023.
And it was registered as Obedient for a better Nigeria. Obedient with an E.
Here is the constitution of the Obedience Movement since 2023.
And here what you see is the Obedient with an E, not an I. So, when we say that the Obedience Movement was hijacked and stolen, it's not a false allegation.
Here is the application for the registration of the Obedience Movement with an E.
And you you have all of the documents here to prove that the Obedience Movement was registered and it was predicated on the former national anthem.
If you remember the former national anthem, it says, "Arise, oh compatriots." So, the comrade, the compatriots, we arose. And what was the second line? "Nigeria's call, obey."
So, we rose up to the call of Nigeria to obey Nigeria.
The former national anthem didn't say Nigerians call obey. It said Nigeria's call obey. So, I hereby defect to A Dino speaks saying here, "Useless clowns. Who now stopped you from carrying out your activities as Obedience Movement?
Because we don't know such movement.
What we know and identify with is Obedience Movement. So, use your certificate to organize million march million man march. Let's see how many in numbers, clown."
Dino speaks again saying, "There is so many other presidential candidate vying for the presidential seat. Why are they all fixated on Peter Obi and the Obedience Movement? Definitely, Peter Obi is the only opposition candidate against Tinubu and they are truly scared." And then we have a color me greatness saying, "So, Obi hijacked me.
I am loving it. Hijack me more, sir."
Same Dino here saying, "After destroying Labour Party, they are coming for the Obedience Movement. But, this is where their frustration will boil over because the movement is well-structured and can't be hijacked by anyone. If they like, let them create a million more Obedience Movement. We know our leader."
Then Kenneth here saying laughing emoji, "This was the same way Segalink tried to take credit for End SARS before he ran mad."
I see these guys are up for some legal battle.
And thank God they said uh Obedience Movement for a better Nigeria, O B E.
Now, this O B E is theirs.
The one for Peter Obi is O B I.
So, how did Peter Obi hijack Obedience Movement?
Because even if you want to go to the court to dig this out, that yours is a different spelling from the one of Peter Obi's movements.
Unless as you mean quote, it is even the OBI.
Please.
Does Abure think that if they leave that name for him, the one with the OBI, that the people who are supporting Peter Obi will still remain with him?
So, is he not aware that he's displaying stupidity?
At the end of the day, he will be left with an empty shell.
Because the consumers will will move to ANOTHER PLATFORM.
SO, IF THAT THE NAME BECAUSE of the Obi-Datti movement, Obi-Datti movement, then it is say the thing go make people Obi's supporters come begin to follow Julius Abure because of the name, or him go use am make wave, then he's he's sitting on a long thing.
I mean, I expect that this man should be highly intelligent since he went to school.
If you If they leave the name for you, even with the OBI, YOU WILL STILL NOT HAVE the people there.
You won't.
Because the people there will still leave to go and create another one.
OR EVEN IF YOU WANT TO recruit new persons to be there, do you think it's going to be us?
Or let me guess, they also want to maintain the name. They want to use that name as well so that they can have maybe probably APC supporters and the rest in that group, people who are against Peter Obi in that group, and then use it to, you know, work against Peter Obi.
Ah, no.
Abure and his people, they are so foolish.
Is it the same spelling?
Is it the same spelling?
You did the other one in 2023.
This name with the OBI no be since 2022 DURING THE TIME of Peter Obi campaign I did since that.
Is he not since then?
Where is the the coordinator of the Obedience movement? Can he please come out because it's not EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO KEEP THINGS QUIET.
Not everything you have to keep quiet.
Some of us are already irritated with this stuff. So, I think it's something they need to address.
Especially the wrong accusation, false accusation against the man Peter Obi.
He hijacked.
When group of individuals begin to form OBI movement.
Abure then consult them.
Did they consult him? Do you think THEY FORMED THAT NAME BECAUSE Peter Obi was in Labour Party because of the Labour Party?
They only formed that name because of the Peter OBI AND IT HAS NOTHING to do with Labour Party.
Else they could only leave the name with the Labour Party as Peter Obi don't move.
SO, I REALLY DON'T GET WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH JULIUS ABURE IS.
Even if they leave the name with you now, create another name.
You no go still get the support.
You won't still have it. It won't still make wave.
So, this man is just trying to get gain relevance.
Ah, he must be he must be paid millions so to show the APC that he's actually working hard.
He must have been paid millions for all this useless movement he's making.
The last time it was his boy also which I'm quite sure the boy never mentioned Julius Abure name.
And today we are seeing Julius Abure and one SO-CALLED PIPER, THE PIPER that was never even mentioned in the first interview of the so-called person that was once Abure's ally.
We never I never heard of that name.
This one now that is talking.
So, we I'm seeing right now that probably more factions are coming up to want to claim the name Obedience.
Dr. Yunusa Tanko really need to address this matter. Every day Peter Obi, what is the problem? ATIKU IS ON THE BALLOT, WHY THEY DIDN'T complain about Atiku?
Eh?
They say I'm a kid who has INDICATED INTEREST. WHY ARE THEY NOT ATTACKING HIM?
I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. Even the Goodluck Jonathan, why are they not attacking him as much as they are attacking Peter Obi?
Or maybe they are about to start.
Something is definitely wrong with these guys.
Honestly speaking, and I feel say eh na beating na him be the proper way to end am.
Every day they are in different media houses to talk about Peter Obi.
Every day spreading lies out there.
Ah.
No.
Something needs to be done.
This is not something that should be swept under the rug. Something needs to be done because what they are looking for is a way where they will start legal issues and there will be no time for the Obedient to focus on something that is important. That is why I feel that it should be addressed. You better say they don't cut off the hand of monkey inside soup before it go turn into something else.
