Adaramewa, who speaks for the Obidient movement in Lagos, made the remarks during a live television appearance, where he addressed growing questions about Obi’s recent political realignments.

He stressed that the credibility, competence, and integrity of a candidate matter more to the movement than the name or structure of any party.

According to him, the movement’s focus remains on identifying leadership capable of steering the country away from its current challenges and offering practical solutions to improve living conditions.
