Obidient Movement Plans Nationwide Protest Against INEC

The Obidient Movement, led by Yunusa Tanko, has confirmed its intention to hold a nationwide protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria. Despite rising tensions, the movement plans to proceed with demonstrations, keeping the exact date confidential to avoid potential interference or intimidation of participants.

The primary grievances against INEC include its handling of political matters, which has led to unrest and frustration among opposition supporters. The movement anticipates large, peaceful demonstrations demanding fair treatment and accountability from INEC.

They are calling for reforms within the commission, including the resignation of its chairman, citing misuse of authority and a loss of public trust. The protests, tagged as "occupy INEC," come amid growing concerns about the impartiality of Nigeria's democracy and the need to protect citizens' rights.

Tensions have escalated recently, particularly following a court ruling related to leadership disputes within the African Democratic Congress.
