Obidient Movement Event: "Obi, The Political Change Agent": A Call to National Reawakening Set for June 10 [VIDEO]

 

A defining moment in Nigeria’s political and literary spheres is set to unfold as Mr. Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and prominent political figure, prepares to present his much-anticipated book titled “Obi, The Political Change Agent.” The event, scheduled for June 10, 2025, will take place at the prestigious NAF Conference Centre in Abuja, with proceedings beginning promptly at 11:00 AM.

Anticipation continues to grow as scholars, political stakeholders, civil society leaders, and citizens alike prepare to gather for what promises to be more than a ceremonial unveiling. Central to the presentation is a keynote discussion bearing the title “The Inevitability of a New Nigeria”—a topic that not only captures the essence of Obi’s political journey but also reflects the aspirations of a nation seeking transformation.

Conversations surrounding the event have already ignited debate in policy circles and across digital platforms. Many see the book as a culmination of years of grassroots advocacy, progressive governance, and passionate calls for accountability that have come to define Obi’s public life. More than a biography or campaign memoir, the book is expected to delve into the mechanics of leadership, governance reform, and citizen engagement—areas where Obi has carved a distinctive identity.

Attendees are expected to include an eclectic mix of personalities: academics, youth activists, business leaders, and political analysts, each hoping to glean insight from Obi’s lived experiences and proposed strategies for national revival. With the 2027 general elections looming on the horizon, the timing of the book launch has been interpreted by many as both reflective and strategic.

Political observers note that Obi’s public image has evolved significantly over the past decade. His foray into the 2023 presidential race under the Labour Party banner transformed him from a regional figure to a symbol of youthful political defiance and democratic reform. His candidacy catalyzed what has since been dubbed the "Obidient Movement"—a grassroots phenomenon largely driven by a politically aware youth population.

By choosing to anchor his book presentation on the theme of a “New Nigeria,” Obi seems poised to rekindle that national conversation—this time through a literary and philosophical lens. The keynote discussion is expected to frame Nigeria not just in the context of present-day challenges, but in the possibilities that lie ahead, should the country choose a path of deliberate reform.

Sources close to the organizing committee have hinted that the presentation will include multimedia segments, expert panels, and a moderated Q&A session with the author. Excerpts from the book will also be read by notable personalities, offering a glimpse into the thematic structure and tone of the publication.

Though details of the book's contents remain largely under wraps, early readers suggest that Obi presents an unfiltered narrative—a fusion of political insight, personal reflection, and policy critique. The work reportedly addresses Nigeria’s chronic issues: corruption, infrastructural decay, youth unemployment, and governance inefficiency, while also proposing pragmatic and inclusive solutions.

Peter Obi’s career is marked by a reputation for austerity, data-driven decision-making, and an unwavering belief in meritocracy. These qualities are expected to underscore the book’s core messages. Beyond the text, observers are keen to see how the book shapes public discourse and possibly repositions Obi within Nigeria’s political landscape.

Events of this nature are not merely about literary celebration; they often serve as ideological barometers. Whether this presentation becomes a launching pad for renewed political activity or a standalone intellectual offering remains to be seen. What is certain, however, is that the atmosphere at the NAF Conference Centre on June 10 will be one of reflection, expectation, and perhaps a rekindling of national hope.

Citizens interested in the future of Nigeria—its direction, leadership, and destiny—will find the event difficult to ignore. As Nigeria grapples with rising insecurity, economic instability, and a restive youth population, the call for a new direction has never felt more urgent. In this climate, “Obi, The Political Change Agent” arrives not just as a book, but as a possible blueprint for change.

As the countdown begins, all eyes turn to Abuja.
