‘Era of written results is over’ — Obidient Movement declares readiness for Anambra guber poll

The Obidient Movement has declared its readiness for the November 8 governorship election in Anambra state.

In a statement on Friday, Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator of the movement, said the group is determined to protect the people’s mandate and ensure a transparent and credible electoral process.

Tanko, who spoke at a press conference held at the George Moghalu campaign office in Udoka Estate, Awka, the capital of Anambra, said full structures had been deployed across 5,720 polling units in the state.

He also said the movement has inaugurated polling unit commanders across all units and built a strong grassroots network from Awka to Nnewi and beyond.

“Our structures are alive, active, and alert. We have also established digital monitoring systems to prevent electoral malpractice. The era when results were written in back rooms is over,” Tanko said.

He reaffirmed the group’s commitment to safeguarding the people’s will, stressing that the movement is united and well-organised ahead of the election.

“There is no faction, no confusion. We stand together under one vision—the vision of a new Nigeria that begins from our polling units,” he said.

Tanko asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain impartial and professional throughout the exercise.

He also called on security agencies to ensure the safety of voters during the election.

“To every Anambra citizen, we say: your vote is your power—protect it and use it wisely,” the coordinator said.

“The world is watching. Nigeria is watching. And we, the Obidients, are ready. A new Anambra is possible, and together, we will make it happen.”
