AMAC election: Dr Mo of ADC won but they refused to announce him – Obidient Movement Coordinator, Tanko alleges

National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Global, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has raised alarm over alleged irregularities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council election held on Saturday, accusing electoral officials of deliberately withholding results from key polling areas.

Tanko alleged that officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refused to announce results from locations where the candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dr. Moses Paul, popularly known as Dr Mo, was reportedly leading.

According to him, results from Gwarinpa, Garki and Karu had been ready since about 9 p.m. on Saturday but were yet to be officially declared.

“The situation in this country is becoming more alarming than I imagined,” he said. “Reports reaching us at the Situation Room indicate that results from Gwarinpa, Garki and Karu were ready as early as nine o’clock, yet they have refused to announce them simply because Dr Mo is leading.”

He further alleged that tensions had escalated in the affected areas, claiming that security operatives had deployed tear gas amid growing unrest.

“That is why there is chaos in those places. As we speak, there is heavy mobilisation and tear gas has been fired at people,” Tanko alleged.

The Obidient Movement coordinator called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and urged leaders of the ADC to take a firm stance against what he described as attempts to manipulate the electoral process.

“This is the time for ADC political leaders to speak with one voice and say no to election rigging. The target, clearly, is to rig out Dr Mo, who is already leading,” he said.

Tanko also warned that the alleged actions could be a precursor to broader electoral malpractice ahead of future general elections.

“This is a test case for what they want to do during the general election. We must resist it now,” he added.

He urged supporters and concerned citizens to mobilise peacefully and demand transparency from electoral authorities.

“We just want the right thing to be done. The results must be announced now,” he said.
