The Obidient Movement has expressed concern over an alleged glitch affecting the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Results Viewing Portal (IReV) during the ongoing Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections.
The group claimed that although results were reportedly uploaded successfully from several polling units, they were not appearing on the IReV server, raising questions about transparency in the collation process.
The elections, taking place across the six area councils — Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Abaji and Kwali — are seen as a significant test of grassroots political influence in the nation’s capital.
In a statement issued on Saturday titled “Alert from the Obidient Movement Headquarters,” the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, urged supporters and concerned Nigerians to remain vigilant.
“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 said.
The movement called on its members and the public to peacefully observe the collation process, particularly at the Area 10 INEC office and in Karu, while ensuring they retain accurate records of results from their respective polling units for verification.
“Let us remain calm, law-abiding, and committed to protecting the integrity of the electoral process through peaceful and lawful means,” the statement added.
The IReV platform, introduced by Independent National Electoral Commission, is designed to strengthen electoral transparency by enabling real-time public access to polling unit results uploaded directly from the field.
