Nobody In Northern Part Of River Niger Defended Peter Obi As Fervently As Yunusa Tanko – Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, a former senator representing Kaduna Central, has commented on reports that Yunusa Tanko, who previously coordinated the Obidient Movement, has left the group and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Reacting to the development on social media, Sani highlighted Tanko’s strong loyalty to Peter Obi, noting that he was among the few people from northern Nigeria who consistently defended and promoted the former Anambra State governor.

According to Sani, Tanko demonstrated exceptional commitment to Obi’s political cause. However, he questioned what could have led to the reported breakdown in their relationship.

“What must have happened for Dr Yunusa to part ways with Dr Peter? Anyway, nothing is impossible in politics,” the former lawmaker remarked.

Tanko was a prominent figure in the Obidient Movement and helped mobilise support for Obi during the 2023 presidential election. His reported move to the SDP has generated interest as political figures and opposition groups begin repositioning themselves ahead of the 2027 polls.
