Peter Obi has approved an identity card system and registration portal for his supporters, aiming to better organise the ‘Obidient’ movement ahead of future political battles.
- Peter Obi approved an official ID card and online portal for 'Obidients'.
- The initiative aims to unify and verify loyal supporters nationwide.
- Registration will be free; physical ID cards are optional at a cost.
- Supporters can access benefits like insurance and empowerment programmes.
- Critics see it as Obi solidifying grassroots power ahead of the 2027 elections.
Obi’s move shows he’s thinking long-term. As Nigeria’s political landscape grows tougher, having a verified network of loyalists could be a game-changer. It's about more than just fanbase pride — it's building structure, accountability, and a deeper connection. Supporters feel seen, but some critics worry about potential exclusion or monetisation. Either way, Obi is setting the stage for the battles to come.
Will formalising the 'Obidient' movement strengthen it or risk losing its grassroots spirit? Let’s watch how it plays out.
