The Obidient movement has unveiled a digital platform for the registration of members and the issuance of unique identity cards.
The Obidient movement originated in 2022 following the social media popularity of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
In a statement on Saturday, Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator, and Nana Kazaure, director of strategic communications and media, described the portal as the fulfilment of a long-cherished aspiration, representing “a journey of resilience, focus, oneness, strength and beauty”.
According to the movement, the portal is open to Nigerians and supporters in the diaspora.
“Obidient registration portal supports Nigerians and fellow Obidients living in the diaspora,” the statement reads.
“You will observe that the ID has a flag on it. For example, if you’re not resident in Nigeria, the top right-hand corner will carry the flag of your country of residence.
“That way, we can all witness first-hand the embodying of our spirit of diversity, comradery, and unity and how far-reaching the messaging Obidient Movement is.
“The OBX is constant on the ID card. The Diasporan and Nigerian cards, all start with the same prefix which is the OBX.
“The QR code on the bottom right-hand corner is there to authenticate your card, which can be scanned with any QR scanner such as a smartphone, to give Obidients a secure and confident way of interacting with one another.
“So if you choose to support or do business with an Obidient, you can scan the QR code or verify the OBX ID online to confirm that the person is who and what they truly say they are and are who they truly claim to be.”
