| Official Launch of Obidient Movement Registration Portal |
On April 26, 2025, Peter Obi rolled out a new online portal and identity cards for his Obidient Movement. The move covers supporters in Nigeria and those living overseas.
The portal lets users sign up with basic details. Each member gets an “OBX”-prefix ID that links them to their state or country. Nigerian cards show state and local government codes. Diaspora cards display a three-letter country code for the holder’s residence.
A QR code sits on the card’s bottom right corner. Scanning it confirms a member’s identity. This feature aims to curb fakes and fraud. Supporters can trust who they meet or do business with.
National Coordinator Dr. Yunusa Tanko explained the design. He said the flag of each holder’s country will appear on their card. He added that random numbers boost security and make each card unique.
Obidient leadership says the portal is open to every Nigerian who backs the call for “a new Nigeria.” The movement values unity, diversity, and shared purpose. It hopes the ID cards will strengthen bonds among members worldwide.
Critics note that the launch comes ahead of key elections. They warn this could serve as a mobilization tool rather than a purely civic service. Obi’s team rejects this view. They insist the IDs only foster identity and trust among volunteers.
Political analyst Aisha Bello praised the move as “a smart way to build a genuine network.” She said it blends tech and grassroots reach. At the same time, she urged users to guard their data and report any portal glitches.
Key Features at a Glance:
OBX Prefix: Uniform start for all IDs.
State/LGA Codes: Two letters and two digits for Nigerians.
Country Code: Three letters for diaspora members.
QR Authentication: Instant online verification.
Randomized Security Numbers: Prevent code guessing.
Obidient members can visit the portal now to complete verification. The team stressed that all registrations go through checks. They say the process links each online record to a real individual.
Moving forward, the movement plans to open local offices in every Nigerian local government area. Members there will collect physical cards. Officials hope this will boost face-to-face interaction and steady growth.
Peter Obi called on supporters to spread the word and help others register. He said the portal is a step toward modern civic engagement. He urged everyone to “carry the spirit of unity wherever you go.”
