Nigerian actor, Charles Inojie, says the #Obidient movement is hitting nearer home.
The actor stated this recently through his Instagram page while reacting to a video credited to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, who spoke about the ‘Obidient’ movement.
The actor said that #Obidient has moved past the primordial considerations as they want the best man that would lift Nigerians out of the misery inflicted by the ruling class over the years.
He wrote “The #Obidient movement is hitting nearer home. It is now common knowledge that the only platform we need to reclaim Nigeria is the common pain that the ruling class has inflicted on the average Nigerian over the years.
“Poverty and lack in the face of plenty, economic misery in a land of surplus or palpable fear of insecurity in supposed peace time have no respect for religion or ethnicity. A poor Nigerian in Agenebode is a poor Nigerian in Sabon-Garri.
“OBJ’s presidency did not make the people of Owu, Abeokuta or Sango Otte in Ogun state the most prosperous Nigerians. GEJ’s presidency did not make Otueke the Eldorado of Nigeria. PMB is probably not even as popular in his home state as he is in mine.
“Bottomline is, if you are still thinking of voting across tribal or religious divides, you are living in the past.
“The #Obidient generation has since moved past those primordial considerations. They want the best man for the job irrespective of where he is from or what religion he practices.
He added “They have elected to commit their votes to the man who can guarantee a secured future for them. They prefer a Nigeria where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.
“They would rather belong in a country where meritocracy is the order of the day.”
The ‘Obidient’ movement comprises the supporters of the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.
