Morris Monye, the Director of Mobilisation for the Obidient Movement, has resigned from his position, accusing Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi of failing to provide leadership and financial support to the group.
In a statement posted on X, Monye said he personally spent over N40 million funding mobilisation activities without receiving any assistance, budget, or communication from Obi. He described the experience as frustrating and unsustainable, noting that the Labour Party’s poor showing in the recent Anambra governorship election had made his position untenable.
Monye, a prominent investor and vocal supporter of Obi during the 2023 elections, lamented what he called “a lack of structure, planning, and funding” within the movement. He also cited harassment and intimidation from government sympathisers as additional reasons for his decision to step down.
He criticised the Labour Party’s organisational inefficiency, pointing out that the party’s candidate in the November 9 Anambra poll secured only 14,000 votes. Monye urged Obi and other leaders of the Obidient Movement to adopt a more professional and structured approach ahead of the 2027 general elections.
