The Obidient Movement, a group that aligns with the political aspiration of the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Monday, May 4, announced that its members are moving en masse to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This development followed the defection of Obi from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the NDC on Sunday.
Peter Obi had said that he decided to leave the ADC due to the internal problems bedevilling the party.
However, on Monday, the Obidient Movement said its members had no choice but to align with the activities of Obi and join the NDC.
A statement by the Movement asked all members to proceed with registration into the NDC at their respective wards, adding that in order to support this process, a digital membership platform has been made available to enable seamless registration.
Text of the statement: “Following the decision of His Excellency, Peter Obi, to disengage from the ADC in pursuit of a more stable, credible, and value driven vehicle for national transformation, and his subsequent registration alongside Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, we are moving forward to consolidate our collective efforts on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
“This transition reflects the strategic necessity for national renewal, which requires a united, stable, and functional political platform through which the aspirations of the Nigerian people can be effectively pursued.
“We call on all members of the Obidient Movement to proceed with registration into the Nigeria Democratic Congress at their respective wards. To support this process, a digital membership platform has been made available to enable seamless registration for Nigerians at home and abroad. Members are encouraged to register via the official portal.
“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.
“Let us remain united, focused and resolute as we build a platform that truly reflects the will and aspirations of the Nigerian people.”
