Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has appealed to supporters of the Obidient movement to exercise patience and understanding amid growing conversations around his political direction and alleged ties with the African Democratic Congress.

Speaking on the issue, Rhodes-Vivour asked supporters to “give him time,” suggesting that political decisions and alignments require careful consideration rather than rushed conclusions.

The remarks come as speculation continues within Nigeria’s opposition space, particularly among supporters of Peter Obi, who remain closely aligned with the Obidient movement.

The Obidient movement, largely made up of young political supporters in Nigeria, has become a major force in recent elections, particularly in urban centres where voter engagement and political discussions have grown significantly.

Rhodes-Vivour, who has previously enjoyed strong support from reform-minded voters, emphasized that political processes often involve consultations, strategy, and timing before final decisions are made.

His comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporters urging clarity on his political direction, while others insist on patience as the political landscape continues to evolve ahead of future elections.

Political analysts say such moments are common in Nigeria’s opposition politics, where alliances, party affiliations, and movements often shift as elections approach.

For now, Rhodes-Vivour’s appeal appears aimed at calming speculation while maintaining dialogue with his support base.

As discussions continue, attention remains on how opposition figures will align themselves in the build-up to the next major election cycle.
