Leaders of the OBIdient and Kwankwasiyya movements in the diaspora have forged a partnership aimed at promoting democratic participation, civic engagement and national development in Nigeria.

The collaboration was announced at the inaugural OBIdient–Kwankwasiyya Global Diaspora Conference held in the United Kingdom, where participants resolved to deepen cooperation and mobilise Nigerians abroad for greater involvement in national affairs.

The conference, jointly organised by the OBIdient Movement Europe and the Kwankwasiyya Movement Diaspora, took place at the Springdale Methodist Community Centre in Doncaster, United Kingdom.

It brought together Nigerians from Europe, Africa and North America, with both physical and virtual participation from the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, Spain, the United States, Nigeria and other countries.
