Former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has cast his vote at Polling Unit 019, Umudim Akasi Agulu 2, Ward 8.
Naijaonpoint reports that Obi arrived on Saturday to participate in the ongoing Anambra governorship election alongside other residents of the community.
The former governor, who has remained a prominent political figure in the state, joined the queue at his polling unit and completed the accreditation process before casting his ballot.
His presence drew attention in Agulu as many residents watched the voting pattern in his home community.
The Anambra governorship election features 16 candidates from 16 political parties, all seeking to unseat the incumbent governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who is running for a second term.
Meanwhile, LP governorship candidate, George Moghalu, has expressed deep concern over what he described as the widespread monetisation of Saturday’s governorship election in Anambra State.
Speaking with journalists at his residence in Nnewi North LGA, Moghalu said he had received repeated reports of vote-buying across several polling areas, despite the heavy security presence deployed for the exercise.
He lamented that the practice, which had become evident in previous elections, had resurfaced even more aggressively.
Moghalu said, “The situation is scandalous and very embarrassing. The issue of vote-buying is no more a speculation. It happened very aggressively in the last by-election. This time around, I’ve been receiving reports of the same thing happening.”
