He warned that such disputes are slowing national progress in the country. Obi made the appeal on May 3, 2026, at the residence of Senator Seriake Dickson in Abuja.
Obi stated: 'Today, we are appealing to all stakeholders: let us end the internal conflicts and unnecessary court cases within our parties. He described the current political environment in Nigeria as marked by repeated crises, instability, and frequent court cases.

The former governor of Anambra State urged political stakeholders in Nigeria to shift focus from internal disputes to national priorities including poverty reduction, insecurity, and economic recovery. Obi supports an emerging political movement. He stated: 'I fully support this effort.
It is unacceptable that over 50 percent of our population is not actively participating in productive activities that can move this country forward. Senator Seriake Dickson is the National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
