Yesufu explained that the widespread frustration and disillusionment with the government’s handling of the EndSARS killings spurred Nigerian youths to become more politically active, ultimately leading to the formation of the Obidient movement, from which Obi benefited.

In a post on X, Yesufu wrote: “Nobody created Obidient movement. After the #EndSARS killing by APC government many became interested in politics since they were mocked and told to vote those who killed the protesters. There was a collective anger to vote out APC. Peter Obi was a beneficiary of that collective anger of the people.

“When he made his intentions to run for presidency, many with that collective anger supported him and from there the name was coined to fit the candidate following the habit of naming supporters after a person supported in Nigeria. There was already a movement before the name OBIdient was coined.”
