The Obidient Movement Launches Situation Room for Anambra Gubernatorial Election
The Obidient Movement Worldwide, a group of supporters of the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has set up a situation room to monitor the Anambra State gubernatorial election taking place on November 8, 2025. This initiative aims to ensure transparency and provide real-time updates on the electoral process.
Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the leader of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, made the announcement in a brief statement shared on his social media platforms early Saturday morning. He stated, “Our situation room for the Anambra 2025 Gubernatorial Election is live by 8am tomorrow, the 8th of November 2025.” He encouraged members of the movement to follow the social media platforms to watch the situation room live. Additionally, he mentioned that the movement’s structure will provide regular updates on the election.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), 16 candidates will be competing in the election today. Despite this, members of the Obidient Movement continue to support George Moghalu, the Labour Party’s candidate in the Anambra gubernatorial race. This aligns with their support for Peter Obi, their principal, who has been actively campaigning for Moghalu across Anambra State ahead of the election.
During a visit to Anambra earlier in the week, Peter Obi urged INEC to ensure the credibility of the governorship election while reaffirming his support for Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party’s candidate. Obi, who previously served as the governor of Anambra State, described all the gubernatorial candidates in the election as his friends. However, he emphasized that his loyalty lies with the Labour Party’s nominee, Dr. George Moghalu.
“All those involved in the exercise, in one way or another, are my friends. I have respect for all of them. But as a member of the Labour Party, I’m supporting my party’s candidate, though not to the extent of vote buying or any other malpractice. Let everyone vote according to their conscience. All I want is a free, fair, and credible election,” he said.
