Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja to unveil the organisation, the International Coordinator of the Obedient Movement, Dr Barry Avotu Johnson, clarified that it has not yet adopted any presidential candidate for 2027 and has ceased to have any dealings with the Labour Party.
According to him, the rebranding was necessary because after the 2023 elections, the original vision and founding ideals of the Obidient Movement were no longer adequately represented by those who assumed control of its structure.
