Anambra State has once again shown the world and the rest of Nigerians that they are the premium Igbos who cannot be easily swayed into submitting to the dictates of “ndị ọ́chọ́nga noko” (hooligans).
From yesterday’s Anambra gubernatorial election, one would understand that Anambrarians would rather pitch their tents with any political party but APC for some obvious reasons.
It was expected that the election would be disrupted by severe violence, voter apathy and electoral Malpractices. Fortunately, no single violence was recorded so far even as the election has entered the second day.
To be fair, APC, APGA and PDP all gave out money to their electorates with APC giving as high as 5,000 naira per voter as APGA and PDP giving as much as 2,000 per voter.

Jkcyno news gathered that at most polling units, some of the electorates would still collect the 5k from the APC and still voted for other candidates of choice.
Although, INEC had considered shifting the election till Sunday, most polling units decided against all odds to keep voting till night while Using torchlight.
What happened in Imo state has become an eye opener to “ndi Anambra” where a candidate that came 4th in an election, Hope Uzodimma was foisted on them and they have to live with it. This is what Anambra people are fighting to avoid a repeat in their state.
INEC however haa posted a link where all the results being posted and transmitted live.
