Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State, during a good governance symposium organized by the Obidient Movement for the Southeast geopolitical zone, Yunusa stated, “History will not repeat itself.

He added that the movement is committed to pushing for electoral reforms, deploying adequate agents at polling units, and advocating for the appointment of an INEC chairman by the public rather than the president.
Yunusa also pointed out that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has failed to meet the expectations of various regions, including the North, East, and West, thereby bolstering Obi’s chances in 2027.
Prof. Pat Utomi, who delivered the keynote address at the symposium, emphasized the need for collective action through movements like the Obidient Movement to bring about meaningful change in Nigeria.
“This movement is about sacrifice, and together, we can make Nigeria a new one,” Utomi said.
The convener of the Peter Obi Support Network and Chairman of the symposium’s Planning Committee, Maazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, explained that the event aimed to chart a new course for the Obidient Movement in the South-East and strengthen its partnerships with Anambra State support groups.
