The National Coordinator of the Obidient movement, Yunusa Tanko, has claimed that a splinter group is trying to associate with the movement.
Speaking via a statement, Tanko said Obidient Movement does not recognise any parallel structure within its ranks.
He stated this while reacting to a press briefing in Abuja held by the Obidient Movement Rebrand group.
The group claimed it had expelled Obi and Tanko.
Dismissing the expulsion, Tanko said the group does not represent the Obidient Movement in any capacity.
He subsequently urged the media and the general public to ignore the group, accusing them of trying to cause confusion.
The statement said: “We became aware of the activities and announcements by some individuals and groups who are trying to operate under names and structures that are meant to create confusion about who they are, who leads them, or any changes that are happening.
“To avoid any confusion, the Obidient Movement does not acknowledge any other groups, divisions, or leaders beyond its official leadership, which aligns with His Excellency, Peter Obi.
“The public, media, supporters from Nigeria and the diaspora, and all related parties have been informed that any group using a similar or disguised identity does not represent the Obidient Movement, its principles, and leaders.”
