The candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has unveiled an online registration portal and identity cards for members of his Obidient Movement, both in Nigeria and across the diaspora.
National Coordinator of the movement, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, and its Director of Strategic Communications and Media, Nana Kazaure, made this known in a joint statement on Saturday.
The statement observed that each identity card will feature a QR code for authentication and display the flag of the holder’s country of residence.
“Obidient registration portal supports Nigerians and fellow Obidients living in the diaspora. 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,” it partly reads.
The statement observed that the QR code on the bottom right-hand corner is there to authenticate individual’s card, noting that it can be scanned with any QR scanner such as a smartphone, to give Obidients a secure and confident way of interacting with one another.
It added that anyone who chooses to do business with an Obidient 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.
