The President of the Nigerian Community in Russia, Dr Maurice Okoli has urged supporters of Labour Party (LP)  Presidential Candidate,  Mr Peter Obi to have an effective structure if they must succeed in the 2023 general election.

Okoli stated this in a statement on Sunday, noting that the OBIdient Movement being backed by many young Nigerians, would not deliver its desired goals if they were not well coordinated.

“The axiom that the people are the structures is self-evident truth but not an established rule and principle,” he said.

He attributed the unity for a new Nigeria, manifested in the wave of support for the candidacy of Obi to the wanton deterioration of the nation’s security, cultural, social, economic and political situations.

Okoli noted that there seemed to be a fad in the OBIdient movement that structure was not important.

“It is not true because in such a movement, you have to know who is accountable, what you expect, and from whom.

“In the absence of that, things will happen unpredictably and the unpredictable result could be something you don’t like.

“As much as you need a network, communication and teamwork, it is important to know who is at the back, in the front, left, and also on the right.

“The OBIdient movement needs an effective and efficient structure that can deliver the goal of winning a national election.
