Yunusa Tanko Dumps Peter Obi And Obidient Movement, Joins SDP Campaign Council Coordinator
Former National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement and Political Adviser to Peter Obi, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has accepted a role as campaign Director General for the rival Social Democratic Party (SDP), Presidential Candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo.
SDP Chairman, Professor Abubakar Sadiq Gombe, announced Tanko as the Coordinator of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council on Wednesday.
The new development became public at an event at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja, where Tanko delivered an acceptance speech, formally taking up the campaign role.
Until recently, he was the National Coordinator of the Obedient Movement, before being appointed Special Adviser on Northern Nigeria to Peter Obi.
It remains unclear, however, the circumstances surrounding Tanko’s departure from the camp of Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
He had served prominently in the campaign structure of the former Anambra Governor’s 2023 presidential bid under the Labour Party.
