Former National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Dr. Yunusa Tanko has left Peter Obi’s political fold and joined the Social Democratic Party, taking up the role of Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council for SDP presidential aspirant Prince Adewole Adebayo.
Tanko formally accepted the position at an event held at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja, where he delivered an acceptance speech.
This implies a notable political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections. Tanko, who had been a leading figure in Obi’s movement, will now coordinate Adebayo’s presidential campaign.
The exact reasons behind his departure from Obi’s camp remain unclear.
