Former National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has resigned as Peter Obi’s political adviser and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP), where he will coordinate its presidential campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Tanko was unveiled as the National Coordinator of the SDP Presidential Campaign Council on Wednesday, November 11, during the inauguration of the party’s campaign council at its national secretariat in Abuja. His appointment comes weeks after he stepped down as National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement and subsequently accepted an appointment as Obi’s Political Adviser for Northern Nigeria.
Speaking at the unveiling, Tanko confirmed that he had resigned from Obi’s political advisory position on October 30 before accepting the new assignment. “I tendered my resignation on the 30th of October 2026 as the political advisor to His Excellency Mr Peter Obi, to represent Northern Nigeria,” he said.
