Not sure which information you're talking about specifically. Madara couldn't just manipulate the Rinnegan wielder, since Nagato wasn't old enough to master it yet. Madara would have to die in order to be Rinne Tensei'd, yet that would leave his ressurection plan hanging by only one thread, namely Nagato's willingness to revive Madara. With Black Zetsu there would be some safety in it, but for true safety Madara would need all three agents: Someone to wield his rinnegan, someone to wield his name and plan (Eye of the moon plan), and someone to guard his intent and real plan (to be the savior). Obito, as a human being, would be able to act and fight on Madara's behalf. Black Zetsu is useful, but not great at such things. If Nagato knew the full plan, he would likely rebel and act on his own. After all, why would he revive some guy he barely knew? Especially, why would he die for him?

Neither Obito nor BZ wanted Madara revived. Obito rebelled against the plan as much as he could, which is limited thanks to the Cursed Puppet seal yet in the end it had considerable side-effects. It makes no real sense for Madara to stay dead for decades just so he could wait and step in at the last moment. Sure, Obito was supposed to do preparations in his name, but the real wait was for Nagato to gain the power necessary to Rinne Tensei. Which wouldn't have been terribly long, if Obito had manipulated him properly. Namikazenaruto9 wrote: And its not like Obito himself was too mature at this point. He was still teenager. No way he was match for Orochimaru. He was powerful enough to match Minato to a considerable degree. Nor does he necessarily have to defeat Orochimaru, the only point is to ensure Nagato survives, and he simply could've Kamui'd him to safety.
