Obidient Movement Mobilises For Mother Of All Protests: #Occupyinec Protest

The stage may have been set for what may be described as the mother of all protests in Nigeria, #Occupyinec Protest, being organised by the Obedient Movement.

#Occupyinec Protest, the Obidient Movement in Nigeria says, is a nationwide protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission, to drive home the quest for transparent democracy.

The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, says the group remained resolute towards holding the rally.

Tanko, however, declined to comment on the exact date agreed for the demonstration for fear of further harassment and intimidation of intending protesters.

He said, “No, we cannot reveal the date now. We also know they are planning for us. Of course, INEC is our target.

“This commission is now becoming the arbiter, judge, accuser and defender at the same time.

“Our major issue is the manner in which INEC has been going about creating disaffection in the opposition.

“The people are really angry and plan to show this anger by coming out. So, we’ll expect them to come out en masse for a peaceful rally. Then we’ll just demonstrate and protest.”

“The situation in our country is so unpredictable to the point that even those in government are no longer disturbed by rallies and protests. It doesn’t shake them. But we know something else will shake them.

“All Nigerians are asking for is not a war, but for those in authority to do the right thing,” he added.

“Everybody should be involved in this matter. If we continue in this line, one day we will not even be able to go to the toilet in this country.

“So they have no choice but to come out and defend the interests of this country.

“We need to defend the sovereignty of Nigeria, not individuals. That’s what we are doing.”
