The Obidient Movement stormed the North East State of Adamawa on Tuesday with the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi declaring in a multi-city Rally that a new Nigeria was possible.
He spoke positively about the possibility of a Nigeria where the people would be secure and have equal opportunities.

The three key cities in the state, Yola, the state capital, Numan and Mubi towns all hosted the team with various types of engagements, town hall meetings and rallies with a cross section of the community all declaring their unalloyed support for Obi and the LP.
At the various engagements, Obi made it clear to the people that he and his Vice were seeking to rule this country because they had the capacity and the capabilities to unlock the numerous potential in the land and turn it into gains for the populace.
He said that security was topping their priorities because without a secure environment, nothing could be achieved in policies of turning Nigeria from consumption to production and pulling the people out of poverty.
Obi told the people that the insecurity that had seriously affected the state and now spreading to all parts of the country was a consequence of long neglect of the basic needs of the people which he said the presidential ticket was coming to correct.
“A society that is bedeviled by injustice cannot move forward, a country whose leaders use ethnic and religious sentiments to deceive and grab political power cannot develop because they get it at the expense of character, competence and known record of performance,” Obi declared.
Obi continued his message that the vast arable land in the North remained the future gold and oil of Nigeria which if he and Datti were elected into office would see a new and vibrant Nigeria.
He also said that Nigeria had no business being the poverty capital of the world with all the potential of human and natural endowment freely given to her by God.
The LP Presidential standard bearer told the youth that he and Datti would engage them and ensure quality education policy where their parents would not be under severe stress to educate them.
His words: “For us, education is an investment and we will do everything to educate the populace because without education we cannot pull people out of poverty which is our goal if given the mandate.”
Obi told the jubilant crowd that by voting for him and Datti they would be investing their future in trusted hands who were the best among all the candidates.
The Vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure among other Obidient leaders and Presidential Campaign Council spoke at various engagements to underscore the Obidient message to the people.
