The Director of Mobilization of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has announced his resignation from the position.
In a statement he personally signed and made available to journalists on Thursday, Monye cited what he described as the movement’s unfulfilled goals, lack of structure and personal harassment as reasons for his resignation.
According to him, despite his passion and financial commitment to the movement promoting the presidential ambition of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, the movement’s poor performance during the recent Anambra election made his position “untenable.”
Monye accused Obi of neglecting the movement, stating that there was no communication between the former Anambra Governor and the leadership of the movement.
“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.
Almost a year down the line, most of our short, medium, and long-term plans have not been met. I won’t be part of optics and no work,” Monye lamented.
The former director added that he single-handedly raised funds for the Obidient candidate in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Anambra State.
He also claimed that he initiated a plan to equip polling unit agents with affordable body cameras for accountability during elections, a project he said should be completed by his successor.
“The next director must follow up on this. We have not closed it out yet,” he noted
