Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general elections, on Wednesday, promised to be on the streets to campaign with the African Democratic Congress, (ADC) candidate for the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, Moses Paul.
Obi spoke in Abuja on Wednesday at the Merit House during a Special Nigeria’s Independence programme organised by Paul, popularly known as “Dr. MO”and his councillorship candidates to sensitise AMAC residents ahead of the official flag off of the campaign.
The former Anambra State governor said he “supports Dr MO’s” Candidacy because he has been to many places with him and knows he will not disappoint.”
According to Obi, “Dr MO will not change, but because human beings can change, I will be shocked if he changes”
Local Government Area Council election in Abuja has been scheduled for February 2026, and Moses Paul, popularly known as “Dr MO,” is the Chairmanship standard bearer of the ADC.
Moses Paul who is the National Secretary of the Obidient Movement of Nigeria, also received huge endorsement from the movement on Wednesday.
Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, announced the endorsement of Dr MO at the special programme organised by the candidate themed ‘We Don tire’
In his remarks at the crowded occasion, Paul declared that AMAC had failed the people and outlined a bold vision to restore dignity, prosperity, and service to governance.
Speaking on the banner of “We Don’t Tire!”, Paul said Nigerians are weary of broken promises, neglect, and leaders who abandon the people once in power.
“The bitter truth must be told: AMAC has failed,” Dr Paul stated. “Our markets are trapped in endless litigations, waste management has collapsed, schools were abandoned for months, our health centres are dead, insecurity is everywhere, businesses are strangled by multiple taxation, and infrastructure is practically non-existent. This is not governance. This is abandonment.”
Paul, however, emphasised that his campaign is not about lamentation but about building a new AMAC as he pledged to restore dignity, prosperity, and service to governance in AMAC, demonstrating that good leadership is not an illusion but a practical reality that begins at the grassroots.
He promised that if elected Chairman, he would liberate and modernise AMAC markets into centres of prosperity.
