Yunusa Tanko, the chief strategist behind the Obidient Movement Worldwide, has announced plans to launch a comprehensive registration process, providing a formal gateway for existing and aspiring members to solidify their affiliation with the group. This initiative promises to inject new energy into the movement’s burgeoning ranks.
In a live appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, Yunusa Tanko revealed that the Obidient Movement Worldwide is set to transition into a more formal organizational structure.
This strategic shift aims to establish a clear framework for membership identification, enabling the movement to better mobilize and engage its supporters.
“Within the next few months there will be announcement for registration, formal registration. We want to identify you where you are and what you do,” Tanko said.
Following his appointment by Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, Yunusa Tanko has assumed the role of National Coordinator for the Obidient Movement. Tanko emphasized that the movement’s core mission aligns with Obi’s vision for good governance, aiming to champion transformative leadership and accountable public service.
Tanko elucidated that anyone who shares a passion for good governance in Nigeria inherently identifies as an Obidient, emphasizing the movement’s inclusive nature. He further noted that the organization seeks to attract individuals who can engage in a structured and formal manner, fostering a sense of discipline and purpose.

The Obidient Movement’s membership may have a strong Labour Party presence, Tanko noted, but he emphasized that the movement’s essence lies in its ability to bring together individuals from various walks of life who share a commitment to good governance, regardless of party affiliation.
Speaking further, Tanko said that the Obidient movement is for good governance, citizen engagement, having a country that is united, where fairness and equity are supreme, and also to build a country would be respected in the comity of nations.
Tanko drew a clear contrast between the Obidient movement and the Kwankwasiyya movement, noting that the former has achieved a more extensive level of acceptability which demonstrates its greater appeal and resonance.
The Obidient movement’s growth can be attributed largely to Labour Party members, Tanko acknowledged. However, he noted that as the movement progresses, a key focus will be determining an appropriate membership fee, enabling the organization to become more formalized and financially sustainable.
