The Obidient Movement in Akwa Ibom State says it loses more than ₦20 million after police reschedule a planned “two million-man” march supporting Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Uyo. The march was initially scheduled to coincide with the state’s Independence Day celebrations, but authorities shift the timeline.
Multiple outlets report that the movement condemns the decision as a late reversal and says it had earlier received approval. Vanguard adds that the movement questions how the police commissioner who granted permission could later change the decision. Legit.ng and The Punch focus on the financial impact, saying expenses incurred in preparation for the march—such as logistics and mobilisation—are now losses due to the change.
