Yunusa Tanko has stepped down from his position as the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement following his appointment as the Political Adviser on Northern Nigeria to Peter Obi.
Tanko disclosed the development in an official statement titled, “Acceptance of New Assignment as Political Adviser, Northern Nigeria.”
He explained that the new political role demands his “full attention and presence” across the northern region as political activities build up ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, his core focus will center on strategic engagement, grassroot mobilization, and political coordination across northern states to expand the movement’s footprint.
Tanko also revealed that Dr. Moses Paul, widely known as Dr. Mo, has been named to succeed him as the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.
Reflecting on his two-year stewardship as National Coordinator, Tanko noted that his new portfolio expands on the progress achieved in establishing robust structural bases for the movement nationwide.
“This new role will require my full attention and presence across Northern Nigeria. I am therefore pleased that Dr Moses Paul (Dr Mo) now takes up the role of National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.”
“He will give the national coordination the daily attention, energy and inclusiveness that this critical period demands.”
“The task ahead is greater than any individual position. The Movement remains bigger than any office, and the mission remains bigger than any individual. I take on this new assignment with gratitude, confidence and determination, and I look forward to working with all of you as we carry our message to every corner of Northern Nigeria.”
“May we continue to work together with discipline, humility and unity towards the Nigeria we believe is possible.”
