How Anambra governorship election deepened democracy

immensely to the success of the poll was the resilience and determination of the electorate.

As the election drew closer, the Indigenous People of Biafra had announced a one-week sit-at-home in the Southeast region. The action, according to the group, was to press for the unconditional release of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB had stated that the sit-at-home exercise would begin on November 5, a day to the election, should the Federal Government fail to release Kanu.

Moments later a vehicle bearing canopies and chairs meant for the polling unit arrived. The voters surged forward and aided the driver to unpack and on their own, began to set the canopies and arrange the chairs. These were concluded before the arrival of the INEC officials at about 8:55 am. A 75-year-old Peter Nweke, who was the first to vote at the unit, had expressed joy that “finally, we are voting today. There were many threats in the way of this election but to the glory of God, it is happening.”

A young man, Alex Chibuko, who gave his age as 28, told The Guardian: “I came here by 9:10 am. INEC officials had already set up their facilities when I got here. In fact, a few people had voted, but when it got to my turn around 9:50 am the machine refused to authenticate me. You can see that it is almost 11 am and I am yet to vote. I am not in a hurry. I am not the only person experiencing the hitch. The INEC officials have been assuring us that we will vote. So, I am prepared to wait.

One of the women was heard shouting: “We don’t want your money. We have rejected you and your party.” Looking at the women, they did not appear like people who are well to do and would have taken care of their families with the money, but they were emphatic that they didn’t need it.
