Obidient Movement Cautions Wike on 2027 Election Interference

The Obidient Movement issued a warning to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, against any attempts to interfere with the 2027 elections. The group stressed that Nigerians must be allowed to choose their leaders through a free, fair, and credible process.

This warning follows Wike's declaration that he would lead the re-election campaign for President Tinubu in the Federal Capital Territory and Rivers State. The Obidient Movement called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to maintain impartiality and prevent political interference.

They asserted that no individual or political party has the authority to predetermine election outcomes. The movement emphasized that both Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory belong to the people, not to any political figure or party.

They urged politicians to focus on persuading voters rather than making declarations that could be seen as attempts to dominate the electoral process. The group also called for INEC to demonstrate independence in the preparations for the elections.
