In an interview with Arise News in Abuja on Tuesday, Tanko stated, “The Obedient Movement is bigger than the Labour Party. We have them everywhere. We will have to look for another opportunity if the Labour Party is not ready to assimilate the idea of good governance.”
Tanko acknowledged setbacks during the 2023 general election, citing inadequate coverage of 1,760 polling units. However, he assured that the movement is now building a solid foundation across all units.
“The movement is expanding beyond Peter Obi’s initial influence,” Tanko noted, highlighting significant support nationwide, including in northern regions.
“During the 2023 general elections, we were accused, rightly so, that we do not have structures in all of the polling units.
“We are getting prepared and we are ready to face the challenges.”
Regarding public dissatisfaction with Labour Party lawmakers elected under Obi’s influence, Tanko emphasized the need for internal structure to address these concerns.
