The Obidient Movement has announced that it is fully prepared for the upcoming governorship election in Anambra State, declaring that it has deployed Polling Unit Commanders to every one of the state’s 5,720 polling units.
Speaking at a press briefing in Awka on Friday, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the Movement’s National Coordinator, said:
“From Awka to Awkuzu, from Nnewi to every ward and community, the Obidient family is alive, active and alert. The days of results being written in back rooms are over.”
He further explained that the movement has integrated digital monitoring tools and intelligence networks to track accreditation, voting and result‑transmission in real time.
Dr. Tanko dismissed reports of internal division within the group, stating:
“There is no faction, no confusion. We are one, and we stand ready to protect the people’s will.”
He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to maintain impartiality and warned that any breach of the electoral process would be met with lawful and democratic resistance.
He also urged security agencies to guarantee voter safety, emphasising the need for unfettered, intimidation‑free voting.
“To every Anambra citizen: your vote is your power, protect it, use it wisely, and stand firm for integrity and character,” he said.
Concluding his remarks, Dr. Tanko declared that the Obidient Movement is not simply participating in the election, it is leading a generational shift in Nigeria’s political culture.
“The world is watching, Nigeria is watching, and the future is watching. We, the Obidients, are ready. A new Anambra is possible, and together, we will make it happen.”
