Amid the calm proceedings of the Anambra governorship election, one voter’s dramatic entrance drew smiles and applause across social media.

An unidentified man arrived at his polling unit carrying a Bible in one hand and a shining trumpet in the other, turning heads as he prepared to cast his vote in the tightly contested election.

Photos captured by photojournalist Elliot Ovadje show the voter walking confidently toward the polling station, his religious symbols raised high — a scene many described as both humorous and inspiring.

Eyewitnesses said the atmosphere was light-hearted, with voters and INEC officials laughing good-naturedly at his expressive show of faith.

“This brother came ready to pray and proclaim his vote!” one user commented on X, where the images quickly went viral under the hashtag #AnambraDecides2025.

As voting continues across the state, the trumpet-bearing voter has become an unexpected symbol of joyful civic participation and faith-infused democracy.
