Nigeria's Obidient Movement, once a powerful youth force, collapsed due to internal strife, corruption, and lack of funding despite Peter Obi's strong 2023 campaign.
The Obidient Movement, a once-vibrant youth-led political force in Nigeria centered on Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, has declined sharply due to internal fractures within the Labour Party.
Despite securing over 6.1 million votes and electing numerous officials, key leaders resigned citing corruption, lack of funding, poor communication, and unaccountable leadership.
Mobilization director Morris Monye revealed he spent N40 million of his own money with no financial support from the party.
Volunteers funded major events without official backing, and allegations of mismanaged donations and opaque decision-making emerged.

With many elected officials gone and no clear path forward, the movement’s future remains uncertain.
