Obidient Movement Raises Alarm Over IREV Glitch in FCT Election Results, Urges Nigerians to Remain Alert and Vigilant
The Obidient Movement has raised concerns over an alleged malfunction of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Results Viewing (IREV) Portal, as the results uploaded from several polling units were not reflecting on the server.
The development comes amid the ongoing Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections, where voters across the six councils — Abuja Municipal Area Council, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Abaji and Kwali — are electing chairmen and councillors in what is widely viewed as a test of grassroots political strength in the nation’s capital.
In a statement on Saturday titled “Alert from the Obidient Movement Headquarters,” the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Dr Yunusa Tanko, called on supporters and Nigerians to remain vigilant over the collation process.
“Information reaching us indicates that the IREV server is active but not displaying results that were reportedly uploaded successfully from various polling units,” the statement read.
“All Obidients and Nigerians are therefore encouraged to remain alert and vigilant. If necessary, we urge everyone to proceed peacefully to the 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.”
IREV, introduced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, is designed to enhance transparency by allowing the public to view polling unit results uploaded directly from the field in real time.
