According to Iyere, the conference has become necessary because of the existing urgency to restructure the Obidient Movement into a unified political family, as well as to re-organise and strengthen its overall leadership.
He said, “One of the biggest political miracles of the current political dispensation was the emergence of the political tsunami called the Obidient Movement.
“Today, Nigerian youths and women have through the Obidient Movement proven to the world that the power to restore political order and compelled good governance belongs to them.
“They shocked the ruling elites when they launched a ballot revolution which demystified the ruling class. They have been able to make it clear that elections in Nigeria will no longer be business as usual.
Iyere affirmed that the forthcoming “Obidient Movement Post-election Revival Conference”, is designed to help restructure and unify the Obidient Movement into Nigeria’s single largest political alliance.
He said, “This goal is meant to be achieved by re-organising its leadership. The proposed Obidient Movement Post-election Conference, is being facilitated by 40Million Ballots Movement, whose Convener is Comrade Kennedy Iyere
Iyere said that the Obidient Movement will be re-energised during the proposed conference, to exist and function, as a strong pressure group and a democratic revolution, whose focus is to enforce active and adequate participation of youths and women in elections for the .purpose of reshaping good political leadership.
Iyere added, “The proposed conference will provide a broad platform through which the Obidient Movement will be able to select and appoint credible leaders who will coordinate its activities across the 36 states of the federation and the federal capital territory.
He maintained that hosting the proposed conference is the most critical political need of the moment.
He confirmed that delegates will attend the conference from across the six geopolitical zones and the diaspora community.
