Obi said it does not matter if such candidates are members of the Labour Party or not, insisting that the Obidient Movement would support good candidates from other political parties.

He said: “Nigerian politics has been largely transactional. When we started the Obidients movement people didn’t believe what we were trying to do. The consequence is that we didn’t have candidates in most states.
