Obidient Movement chief of mobilisation resigns, slams Obi

The Director of Mobilisation of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has resigned from his position.

Monye announced his resignation in a statement posted on his X handle on Thursday, saying that despite his passion and personal financial contributions, the movement’s poor coordination and underwhelming performance in the recent Anambra election had made his role “untenable.”

“Almost a year down the line, most of our short, medium, and long-term plans have not been met. I won’t be part of optics and no work.

“The poor showing at the Anambra election has also made my position untenable,” he said.

Monye disclosed that he personally funded nationwide mobilisation efforts, including travel, local structure support, voter awareness campaigns, and logistics, without any financial backing from the movement’s leadership or its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.

“No money was given to the Directorate of Mobilisation. There’s no bank account even for the directorate. In fact, Mr Peter Obi has never asked what we are doing in mobilisation — no communication, nothing,” he stated.

Monye said he and his businesses had faced constant harassment from government supporters.

“It’s a role that paints a target on your back. I’ve had to remain silent so as not to discourage anyone or appear to be complaining, but it has taken a toll on me and my family, who can hardly understand it all,” he lamented.

Monye listed his major contributions to the movement, including the creation of an online registration system for Obidients, revival of dormant support groups, establishment of regional and local government offices, and the launch of the Obidient NextGen university campus network.

He said he also raised funds for the Obidient candidate in the Anambra governorship election and initiated a plan to equip polling unit agents with affordable body cameras for election accountability, a project he urged his successor to complete.

“The next director must follow up on this. We have not closed it out yet,” he noted.

Monye said he had submitted his resignation to Obi, the National Coordinator, Dr Yunusa Tanko, and his state coordinator.

He added that he would now focus on his businesses and personal development, including plans to enrol in a business course at Oxford or Cambridge University, while continuing to advocate for good governance and electoral reform.

Advising on the movement’s future, Monye urged Obi to engage professional consultants, fund the directorates, and adopt a results-driven structure for accountability.

“You can’t run a campaign simply from general goodwill. This is not 2023. The element of surprise is gone,” he cautioned.

He concluded by describing his time in the Obidient Movement as a “privilege” but said it was time for “someone else to carry the mantle.”

Monye is one of the leading voices in the “Obidient” Movement, a grassroots political force centred around the former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election.

It was launched with a surge of youthful enthusiasm and amplified through social media.

The movement gained traction by promoting Obi as a frugal, principled leader capable of addressing Nigeria’s entrenched issues of corruption and economic mismanagement.

It drew a diverse following, including young voters and diaspora Nigerians, who rallied under the slogan “Take Back Nigeria,” leveraging platforms like X to register new voters and challenge the dominance of the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party.

Despite its initial momentum, the movement faced significant hurdles, as evidenced by the LP’s dismal 1.5% vote share in the November 2025 Anambra governorship election.
