African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has described the Obidient movement as one of Nigeria’s biggest political scams while renewing his criticism of former Anambra State governor and Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Sowore, a long-time critic of Obi, has repeatedly labeled him a “packaged political fraud” and accused the Obidient movement of misleading supporters. In recent comments, he portrayed the movement as a political Ponzi scheme that draws in large numbers of people with promises of change, only to use them for political gain without delivering meaningful transformation.
He has argued that many followers are being manipulated into believing they are part of a genuine reform effort, while the movement engages in what he calls hypocritical alliances and fails to hold its leaders accountable. Sowore has warned Nigerians against blind loyalty to such groups.
These remarks come amid ongoing political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections, including discussions of opposition consensus candidates and recent high-profile defections from Obi’s circle.
Sowore has insisted that he remains a candidate and will not step aside for what he views as establishment-backed arrangements favoring Obi.Sowore’s attacks form part of a pattern of sharp criticism he has leveled against Obi and the Obidients over several months, often highlighting alleged inconsistencies in their positions and record.
