The Obidient Movement has directed its members across the country to register with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) following the decision of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to disengage from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Dr Yunusa Tanko, in Abuja on Monday, the movement said the decision marked a new phase of its political engagement and national mobilisation ahead of future political activities.
According to the statement, Obi’s exit from the ADC and his subsequent registration with the NDC alongside former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, informed the movement’s decision to consolidate its activities on the platform of the NDC.
The group said the transition was driven by the need for “a more stable, credible, and value-driven vehicle for national transformation.”
It noted that national renewal could only be achieved through “a united, stable, and functional political platform” capable of advancing the aspirations of Nigerians.
“We call on all members of the Obidient Movement to proceed with registration into the Nigeria Democratic Congress at their respective wards,” the statement read.
The movement disclosed that a digital membership platform had been introduced to facilitate seamless registration for Nigerians both within and outside the country.
Members were encouraged to register through the official portal, Nigeria Democratic Congress Registration Portal.
The Obidient Movement further stressed that the political realignment was not merely about changing platforms, but a continuation of its commitment to building a “New Nigeria” founded on accountability, competence, and service to the people.
“As we take this step, we remain guided by our shared vision of building a New Nigeria anchored on accountability, competence, and service to the people.
“This is not merely a political transition, but a continuation of our collective commitment to national transformation,” the statement added.
The movement urged its supporters to remain united, focused, and resolute in the pursuit of a political platform that reflects the will and aspirations of Nigerians.
“A New Nigeria is possible,” the statement concluded.
