Morris Monye, the Director of Mobilization of the Obidient Movement, has announced his resignation from the position, citing unfulfilled goals, lack of structure, and personal harassment within the group.
In a statement personally signed and released to journalists on Thursday, Monye said his decision followed deep frustration with the state of the movement, which was formed to promote the 2023 presidential ambition of Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi.
According to him, despite his passion and personal financial contributions, the movement’s poor performance during the recent Anambra election made his role “untenable.”
Monye accused Obi of neglecting the movement, alleging that there had been no communication between the former Anambra governor and the leadership of the mobilization directorate.
“No money was given to the Directorate of Mobilization. There’s no bank account even for the directorate. In fact, Mr. Peter Obi has never asked what we are doing in mobilization — no communication, nothing,” he said.
He lamented that most of the group’s short-, medium-, and long-term goals had not been achieved nearly a year after they were set, stressing that he would not “be part of optics without real work.”
Monye further revealed that he personally raised funds to support the Obidient candidate in the just-concluded Anambra gubernatorial election and had initiated a project to equip polling unit agents with affordable body cameras for election accountability.
He urged his successor to complete the body camera initiative, noting that it remained a crucial step toward transparency in future elections.
