Obidient Movement Welcomes Nationwide Mobilisation Efforts, Encourages Broad-Based Citizen Participation
The Obidient Movement acknowledges the growing wave of citizen-led mobilisation across the country, including the initiative by the Village Boys Movement (VBM) tagged the “2 Million Man March and ADC Registration Drive” in support of His Excellency, Peter Obi.
This development reflects a deepening political consciousness among Nigerians and an increasing willingness by citizens to organise, participate, and shape the democratic process in a more structured and impactful manner.
Following engagements by the Village Boys Movement across national and state levels, the Obidient Movement recognises the importance of such initiatives in strengthening grassroots participation and translating public sentiment into coordinated civic and political action.
The first phase of the march is scheduled for 28th March 2026 across Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Plateau, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, Kogi, and Edo States, with subsequent phases expected to extend to major political and commercial centres nationwide.
The Obidient Movement encourages its members, supporters, and all citizens who share the vision of a more accountable and people-centred Nigeria to actively engage in peaceful and lawful civic activities that advance democratic participation and national renewal.
This moment goes beyond any single event or group. It represents a broader opportunity to build a disciplined, inclusive, and results-oriented movement capable of driving meaningful political change.
Central to this effort is the need to strengthen political structures, deepen citizen participation, and ensure that democratic processes reflect the true will of the people. Increased political engagement, including party registration and grassroots organisation, remains critical to achieving these outcomes.
As conversations continue around leadership, equity, and national direction, the Obidient Movement reiterates its commitment to principles of competence, integrity, and service, and aligns with all constructive efforts aimed at advancing these values within Nigeria’s political landscape.
The Movement also calls on political institutions and stakeholders to respond with responsibility and foresight to the growing demand for credible leadership and inclusive governance.
Ultimately, sustainable change will require coordinated action, strategic organisation, and long-term commitment from citizens across all regions.
The Obidient Movement remains focused on supporting initiatives that strengthen democratic participation and contribute to building a Nigeria that works for all.
