A former Director of Mobilization of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has publicly apologized to the Movement and the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his past criticism of the organization and its leadership.
He apologized in an open letter posted on his official X
handle on Thursday.
It read: “Open Apology Letter to the Obidient Movement.
“My Dear Obidient Family, I come before you today with a
heavy heart, deep humility, and no excuses. Some time ago, in a moment of
frustration and immaturity, I wrote and released a resignation letter as
Director of Mobilization. In that letter, I allowed deep frustration &
personal emotions to cloud my judgment.
“I made statements that subtly and unnecessarily dragged
Peter Obi, a man I still respect for his vision, integrity, and sacrifice for
this nation. That was wrong. It was childish, and beneath the standard I should
have upheld, especially as someone who once held a leadership position in this
movement.
“I take full responsibility. No one forced me to write it.
No one edited it. It came from me, and it was a mistake. I deleted the letter
afterwards, but I know deletion does not erase the damage, the disappointment,
or the loss of trust many of you felt. I understand why some of you no longer
respect me the way you once did. You had every right to feel let down.
“To Peter Obi himself (fondly called PO): Sir, I am
sincerely sorry. My words were not a true reflection of the values of
sacrifice, accountability, and constructive criticism that you preach. I failed
in that moment. To every single Obidient, the ones who stayed grinding, the
ones who defended the vision even when it was tough, the ones who felt betrayed
by my actions, I am deeply sorry.
“You are the real heroes of this movement. Many of you are
young people full of hope and fire for a better Nigeria. You didn’t deserve to
see internal cracks turned into public drama. I let you down.
“I am not writing this because I want something or a
position in the movement as I’m enjoying private life. I am writing it because
it is the right thing to do. Leadership is not only about when the road is
sweet and smooth; it is also about owning up when you mess up. I own this
fully.
“I am committed to rebuilding trust through consistent
actions, not just words. But I also know trust is not demanded, it is earned
back slowly, if at all. Thank you for reading this.
“Whether you accept my apology or not, I respect your
feelings and your right to hold me accountable. The love I have for a better
Nigeria has not changed. You all know me. My respect for the Obidient spirit
remains. I am sorry truly.
“With humility and hope for forgiveness. Your brother in
this struggle.”
