Special Adviser to Peter Obi on public affairs, Katch Ononuju, has revealed that the support base of the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election includes members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Onanuju asserted while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday that the Obedient movement was unconstrained by political parties.

“The Obidient movement has not lost its stint. What we have are three things, we have Peter Obi, we have labour Party, we have the obidient movement; The obident movement is the collection of youths who since three years have been seeking a better Nigeria, Peter Obi is that Nigerian that I together with got angry, left the PDP but then the Labour Party was the platform we borrowed. If we still leave it tomorrow and go elsewhere, the youths will come with us,” Onanuju said.

“A lot of us who are obidients you know are not members of labour party dont forget that, so you must understand that the labour party is a platform that existed for long, the obidient movement is a brand new movement, Peter Obi is a Nigerian that youths trust . We are PDP people a lot of people in the obident movement are members of the PDP, a lot of the obidents are PDP members,” he added.

“The obidient movement is a movement of consciousness and it is not bounded by a political party, people from different parties are members of the obidient movement.”
