The attention of the Obidient Movement Worldwide Borno State Chapter has been drawn to the recent statement by the ADC Youth Wing targeting our respected Global Coordinator, Dr. Tanko Yunusa who just left Borno and Yobe enroute Katsina State even on his birthday being today, we wake up with this.
Rather than dealing with the fundamental issues raised by Dr. Tanko for the collective good, the Youth Wing unfortunately resorted to personal attacks.
For the record as investigated by us , Dr. Tanko Yunusa voted in the FCT Bwari Area Council comprising 8 polling units, and he delivered all of them to Mr. Peter Obi with a landslide victory. This is verifiable. His loyalty, consistency, and commitment to the ideals of the Obidient Movement cannot be questioned.
Beyond that, Dr. Tanko’s track record in Nigerian politics is well-documented:
As IPAC Chairman, he successfully led two tenures and institutionalized the Political Parties Leadership and Training Institute in Kuru, which continues to train political leaders from national chairmen down to the grassroots across the 37 states including the FCT.
As a member of the National Peace Committee led by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), he contributed to Nigeria’s peaceful democratic transitions.
In the struggle for democratic accountability, he also led the Save Nigeria Group as Field Marshal, a movement that played a decisive role in stabilizing Nigeria’s democracy, including securing President Jonathan’s tenure.
So, when referencing Dr. Tanko Yunusa’s political activism and democratic contributions, one can go on and on. The facts speak louder than personal attacks. We therefore urge critics to engage with the issues he has raised, which are for the benefit of all Nigerians and for the strengthening of our democratic institutions.
The Obidient Movement is not a political party but a people-driven platform inspired by the vision of Mr. Peter Obi, who remains strongly with the Movement. While we strongly supported the idea of the coalition how ever it must be seen to be fair to all concerned with equity and justice , every genuine stakeholder must now understand this and guaranteed.
We urge all stakeholders to focus on unity and the larger vision of building a New Nigeria. Personal attacks and divisive rhetoric only serve our opponents. Together, under the ideology of Mr. Peter Obi, we remain unshaken in our resolve to restore hope and rebuild lives.
