Monye explained that his role had become difficult to maintain due to the movement’s lack of proper coordination and financial support. Despite his personal investments in travel, voter awareness campaigns, and local office activities, he said the movement did not provide any funding or resources to support the work of the mobilisation team.

He described the position as challenging and stressful, adding that the responsibilities had placed pressure on both him and his family. Monye had worked to establish structures for the movement, including online registration systems for members, reviving dormant support groups, and setting up regional offices. He also contributed to raising funds for the movement’s activities and the Anambra governorship election.

Monye’s resignation was submitted to the movement’s leadership, including the National Coordinator, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, and the state coordinator. He stated that he would now focus on his personal businesses and education, including plans to pursue further studies at a top international university, while continuing to support initiatives for good governance and electoral reforms.
Observers note that the Obidient Movement, which started as a grassroots political force supporting former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, initially attracted a wide following, especially among young Nigerians and members of the diaspora. The movement encouraged voter registration and participation, aiming to challenge the dominance of major parties in Nigerian politics. However, its recent low vote share in the Anambra governorship election has raised questions about its future direction and organisation.
