Obidient Movement has expressed its readiness for the November 8 Anambra governorship elections.

National coordinator of the movement, Yunusa Tanko, stated this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

Mr Tanko vowed that the movement would protect the people’s mandate and ensure a transparent and credible electoral process.

He said that full structures had been deployed across 5,720 polling units in the state.

The statement noted that Mr Tanko said this at a news conference held at the George Moghalu Campaign Office, Udoka Estate.

He said the group had successfully inaugurated polling unit commanders across all polling units, adding that the Obidient family had 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,” he said.

Mr 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 the 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,” Mr Tanko said.
