The Movement made this known in a press release by the Director of Strategic Communications & Media Nana Kazaure where she accused the Tinubu administration of attempting to silence the masses’ free speech.
Onanuga had earlier on his official X handle, warned Obi to watch his mouth, after he said democracy had collapsed in Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu at a colloquium to mark the 60th birthday of former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha.
Kazaure however described Onanuga’s comments as a desperate attempt to intimidate Obi and suppress opposition voices.

She questioned Onanuga’s warning, asking, what exactly are Onanuga’s plans for Peter Obi and more broadly, what sinister agenda does the Tinubu administration have for its critics, whose numbers continue to grow daily due to the government’s failures.
The movement criticized the government’s focus on attacking political opponents rather than addressing Nigeria’s pressing issues.
She lamented that Nigerians are grappling with hardship, insecurity, and economic instability due to ten years of APC misrule and instead of offering solutions, she said, government officials like Onanuga resort to intimidation.
The Obidient Movement also warned that any harm to Obi or his associates would be blamed squarely on those making threats.
