Ex-Obidient Leader Explains Why Peter Obi’s Political Power Has Eroded Since 2023
In a recent interview on Diaspora Digital Media Television, former Obidient leader Kennedy Iyere argued that Peter Obi’s political influence has declined significantly since 2022. Iyere, once a key coordinator in Obi’s 2023 campaign, pointed to the departure of top allies and rising internal disagreements as signs of weakening momentum. He criticised the movement’s leadership for neglecting grassroots supporters and failing to rebuild strategic alliances after the last election. According to Iyere, this neglect has eroded the organisational structure that once powered the Obidient Movement. Now running for Edo Central senator, Iyere warned that unless these issues are addressed, Obi’s chances in 2027 could suffer further setbacks.
