The Director of Mobilization of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has announced his resignation from the position.
Monye, who made his resignation public on Monday in a detailed statement, said that despite his passion and financial commitment to the cause, the movement’s poor performance in the recent Anambra election made his position “untenable.”
“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 stated.
He also disclosed that he had spent his personal funds on various mobilisation efforts — including nationwide travel, support for local structures, voter awareness campaigns, and logistics — without any financial backing from the leadership of the movement or its presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
“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,” Monye said.
According to him, the continuous financial and emotional strain, coupled with threats and harassment from sympathizers of the ruling government, had taken a toll on him and his family.
Monye highlighted his major achievements while in office, including the creation of online registration systems for Obidients, activation of dormant support groups, establishment of regional structures, creation of local government (LG) offices, and the launch of the Obidient NextGen university campus network.
He added that he single-handedly raised funds for the Obidient candidate in the Anambra governorship election and 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.
Monye revealed that he had already submitted his resignation letter to Peter Obi, the National Coordinator, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, and his state coordinator.
Looking ahead, he said he plans to focus on his businesses and personal growth, including pursuing a business course at Oxford or Cambridge University, while continuing to advocate for good governance and electoral reforms.
On the future of the movement, Monye urged the Labour Party presidential candidate to engage professional consultants, fund the directorates, and adopt a results-based structure for accountability.
“You can’t run a campaign simply from general goodwill. This is not 2023. The element of surprise is gone,” he cautioned.
He concluded by describing his time in the Obidient Movement as a “privilege” but insisted it was time for someone else to “carry the mantle.”
