By Perpetua Onuegbu

Supporters of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, popularly known as Obidient Movement have vowed to ensure a transparent and credible electoral process during the Nov. 8 Anambra governorship elections.

To achieve this, the group said it has successfully deployed its full structures across 5,720 polling units in Anambra state

National Coordinator of the movement, Dr Yunusa Tanko, who stated this in a statement on Friday in Abuja said this involved deployment of Polling Unit Commanders across all the polling units.

He added that the Obidient family had also built a strong grassroots network from Awka to Nnewi and beyond ahead of the election.

Tanko spoke at a news conference held at the campaign office of George Moghalu, the candidate of Labour Party for the election in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.

“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,” he said.

Tanko reaffirmed the group’s commitment to safeguarding the people’s will, stressing that the movement was fully prepared, coordinated and resolute.

“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.

The national coordinator called on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain impartial and professional, while urging security agencies to guarantee 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 world is watching. Nigeria is watching. And we, the Obidients, are ready.

“A new Anambra is possible, and together, we will make it happen,” Tanko said.

Recall that Peter Obi, also a former governor of Anambra State, has been campaigning for Moghalu, the LP candidate in the election.

Charles Soludo, the incumbent governor is seeking a second term ticket in the November 8 governorship election.
