The Obidient Movement and the African Democratic Congress have formally harmonised their political structures across the North-East as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, disclosed that the alignment was concluded on Saturday after strategic meetings held in Maiduguri and Damaturu.
According to Tanko, the move is part of broader efforts to unify opposition forces and deepen grassroots mobilisation in the region ahead of 2027. He described the harmonisation as “another significant step in our collective political journey,” noting that it is driven by the need to build a broad-based, people-centred political platform.
In Maiduguri, Tanko met with the Obidient Movement’s Collegiate Team led by Ayuba Wakawa, alongside the Borno State interim leadership of the ADC, headed by Alhaji Ali Bukar Wurge.
The ADC leadership reportedly warmly welcomed the Obidient Movement into the party, describing the alignment as timely, strategic and necessary to strengthen the party’s grassroots presence across Borno State and the wider North-East.
Tanko added that the ADC reaffirmed its commitment to internal democracy, inclusiveness and participatory politics, with special emphasis on empowering youths, women and community leaders as key drivers of sustainable political change.
With opposition forces closing ranks, the North-East is shaping up to be a critical battleground ahead of 2027.
