Obidient Movement Fires Back At Keyamo’s Over ‘Poorly Edited Propaganda’ Against Peter Obi

The Obidient Movement has described the CCTV footage released by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, regarding the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, in connection with the recent airport parking controversy as “poorly edited propaganda”.

Naijaonpoint reports that the Movement, in a statement issued by its Media and Communications Directorate, Yunusa Tanko, said the CCTV video released by Keyamo failed to support his claims against Peter Obi and instead exposed the All Progressives Congress (APC) ‘s obsession with him.

According to the group, Keyemo’s claim that Peter Obi’s vehicle was left unattended for 30 minutes was contradicted by the timestamps contained in the CCTV footage he released.

The Movement argued that the footage showed the vehicle arriving at about 8:28 p.m. and being clamped approximately six minutes later, accusing the minister of attempting to mislead the public through selective editing of the video.

The group also stated that Keyamo’s own footage contradicted his allegation that Peter Obi’s vehicle blocked the airport terminal entrance, stressing that another vehicle was seen pulling up behind it without any obstruction.

It also maintained that the video supported Peter Obi’s earlier claim that other vehicles were parked in the same area, alleging that enforcement officers singled out only the opposition leader’s vehicle.

The Obidient Movement accused the minister of devoting more attention to Peter Obi than to addressing the challenges facing Nigeria’s aviation sector, including flight delays, high airfares, and infrastructure deficiencies.

While describing the Aviation Ministry as having become the “Ministry of Peter Obi Affairs,” the obidents alleged that the campaign against the former Governor of Anambra State was politically motivated because he represents a credible alternative to the Bola Tinubu-led government.

The Movement insisted that no amount of propaganda, intimidation or selective enforcement would distract Nigerians from issues such as insecurity, inflation, hunger and economic hardship, reaffirming its commitment to what it described as the struggle for a “New Nigeria.”
