“Remain alert” – Obidients Movement calls for vigilance as FCT results collation resumes
The Obidient Movement has urged its supporters and Nigerians to remain vigilant as collation of results from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections resumes.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator of the Obidient Movement worldwide, raised concerns over an alleged malfunction of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s results viewing portal (IReV).
His words: “Information reaching us indicates that the IREV server is active but not displaying results that were reportedly uploaded successfully from various polling units.
“All Obidients and Nigerians are therefore encouraged to remain alert and vigilant. If necessary, we urge everyone to peacefully proceed to Area 10 INEC office and Karu for the collation process and observe developments closely.
“Ensure that you have the accurate results from your respective polling units for proper verification. Let us remain calm, law-abiding, and committed to protecting the integrity of the electoral process through peaceful and lawful means.”
The IReV portal, introduced by INEC, is designed to enhance transparency by enabling the public to view polling unit results uploaded directly from the field in real time.
Earlier, INEC conducted the FCT area council elections across the six councils – Abuja Municipal Area Council, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Abaji and Kwali.
The elections saw residents vote for chairmen and councillors in what observers describe as a test of grassroots political strength in the nation’s capital.
