Ex-Obidient Leader: Elevating Peter Obi to a Deity Was Our Biggest Error

Outspoken activist Kennedy Iyere says the Obidient Movement’s habit of idolising Peter Obi weakened its structure after the 2023 election. He warned that sidelining strong voices like Kenneth Okonkwo, Valentine Ozigbo and Isaac Balami cost the movement vital support. Iyere also alleged that Obi “starved” several grassroots groups that built momentum in 2022. He believes repeating that approach could undermine Obi’s bid in 2027 and make it his toughest political battle yet. These remarks sparked heated debate online, with supporters and critics divided over whether Obi can regroup ahead of the next election cycle.
