The Obidient Movement has raised concerns over the performance of the results viewing portal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the ongoing Area Council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The allegation was made on Saturday by the movement’s National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, who claimed that while INEC’s Result Viewing (IReV) server appears to be active, it is not displaying results that were reportedly uploaded from various polling units across the territory.
According to Tanko, information available to the movement suggests that presiding officers successfully transmitted results from polling units, yet the outcomes are not visible on the IReV portal, raising concerns about transparency in the collation process.
In a statement, the Obidient Movement urged its members and Nigerians at large to remain vigilant and closely monitor the situation. It encouraged citizens to retain accurate copies of results from their respective polling units to enable proper verification as collation progresses.
Tanko further called on concerned Nigerians, if necessary, to peacefully proceed to designated INEC offices, including the Area 10 INEC office and Karu, to observe the collation process and follow developments firsthand. He emphasized that any such actions must remain peaceful and within the confines of the law.
The movement stressed the importance of calm, urging supporters not to engage in violence or actions capable of undermining public order. It reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the integrity of the electoral process through lawful and civic engagement.
“Let us remain calm, law-abiding, and committed to safeguarding the credibility of the election,” the statement read, adding that citizens must stay alert to ensure that votes cast are accurately reflected in the final results.
The Obidient Movement concluded by reiterating its belief in democratic accountability, calling on Nigerians to remain hopeful and engaged, while insisting that transparency remains central to building trust in the electoral process.
