The Obidient Movement has voiced concern over a suspected malfunction of the Independent National Electoral Commission Results Viewing Portal (IReV), alleging that results from several polling units are not appearing on the system despite reportedly being uploaded.
In a statement released Saturday, the movement’s National Coordinator Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, urged supporters and the wider public to remain vigilant during the collation process.
“Information reaching us indicates that the IREV server is active but not displaying results that were reportedly uploaded successfully from various polling units,” the statement said.
He called on citizens to peacefully monitor developments at collation centres, including those in Area 10 and Karu, if necessary, while ensuring they retain verified polling unit results for cross-checking.
“Ensure that you have the accurate results from your respective polling units for proper verification. Let us remain calm, law-abiding, and committed to protecting the integrity of the electoral process through peaceful and lawful means,” the statement added.
The IReV platform was introduced by the electoral body to enhance transparency by providing real-time public access to polling unit results uploaded from the field.
The concerns follow the Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections, where voters across the six councils — Abuja Municipal Area Council, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Abaji and Kwali — elected chairmen and councillors in polls widely regarded as a measure of grassroots political strength in Nigeria’s capital.
