The Obidient Movement has stated that Nigerians will not go to court to beg for the restoration of their mandates in the 2027 general elections. This assertion was made in response to the Independent National Electoral Commission's proposal to use Artificial Intelligence for the next year's polls. The movement alleged that INEC is collaborating with the ruling All Progressives Congress to push Nigeria towards anarchy.

According to the Obidient Movement, INEC's plan to use AI in the polls is an expressway to rigging. The movement demanded that INEC publishes its comprehensive 2027 election plan, including technologies, procedures, and safeguards it intends to deploy. This demand was made to ensure that people's mandates are respected and to prevent avoidable chaos in the country.

The Obidient Movement also alleged that the Nigerian judiciary has outlived its usefulness. The movement stated that INEC must ensure that people's mandates are respected, as the judiciary can no longer be relied upon. The movement's statement was made on Tuesday, and it urged INEC to retrace its steps before it's too late.

INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, is yet to react to the Obidient Movement's statement. However, the movement's assertion has added to the growing concerns about the credibility of the 2027 general elections. The use of AI in the polls has been proposed to enhance the electoral process, but the Obidient Movement's allegations have raised questions about the potential for rigging.

The All Progressives Congress has also been accused of collaborating with INEC to manipulate the electoral process. The Obidient Movement alleged that the party is pushing Nigeria towards anarchy. However, the APC has not reacted to these allegations. The 2027 general elections are expected to be a crucial moment in Nigeria's democratic history.

Many Nigerians have expressed concerns about the potential for rigging and the role of INEC in ensuring a free and fair election.
