Hundreds of women on Sunday marched through major streets in Awka to protest against the Nov. 16 governorship election in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the women who gathered at Arroma Junction marched through Alex Ekwueme Square to the INEC office in the state capital.
A member of the group who declined to identify herself said they would not accept the result of the election because there was no voting in most parts of the state.
She said the women in the state were disappointed with the conduct of the election and called on INEC to organise a fresh one.
“We want to tell the world that we are not happy with the Anambra election and we were not allowed to vote due to the lapses.
“We were disenfranchised and at the end of the day, results will be announced to us.This election should be cancelled because it is beyond Idemili North,’’ she said in reference to an area where the ballot was rescheduled for Sunday.
Meanwhile, security personnel at the INEC office stopped the women from entering the premises.
There were complaints by the electorate over cases of disenfranchisement in the election.
Mr Tony Nwonye, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and members of his family could not vote as their names did not appear on the voters’ register.
Sen. Chris Ngige of the APC also alleged that most voters in Anambra Central could not vote due to late and non-arrival of poll officials and materials.
INEC rescheduled voting in 65 polling units in Obosi, Idemili North local government, for Sunday. (NAN)

This is serious.

ANOTHER ABA WOMEN RIOT ON PROWL...DONT ALLOW PPLE TO RIGHT YOUR HISTORY

What a twist of fortune!

Ibo women are politically more conscious than their men. Unlike the politically inept Ibo men, the women are quick to recognize a breach in social contract and to demand a redress. Perharps all the parties in SE should be fielding women guber candidates going forward.

Denying these women the right to vote is the highest injustice in any election conducted. They shouldn't relent in their protest till the election is canceled and a fresh one is conducted.

berem: ..

Lol......
This girl don't go commit suicide o

You should try it first and lemme know how it feels to hang your neck with a rope on a ceiling fan.

Let's see d result first jhor,this my anambra election is taking too long.

;DLol @ those ones rolling on the floor,wait make trailer meet u there.

So women are at the head of protests in Nigeria generally.

Suffrage (the right to vote), in my opinion, is equal to the freedom of speech. This makes it an inalienable right that cannot be transferred to another or surrendered except willingly by the individual who owns the right.
These women have been disenfranchised. Their right to freedom to express their anger, disappointment and consternation or approval, acceptance and joy, as the case may be, has been violated. It is only fair that they be entitled to redress.

see what apga is putting our women through

Hope this will change something.

.....Interestin

Na wah oooh!!
Just wondering what 2015 elections will look like.

Awka women riot of 2013

More Protests on the way
INEC /Police complicity must be properly investigated. Many of their officials will be smiling to the bank courtesy of Anambra State Government

This is just one state and things turned out this way, I shudder at what will happen in 2015! We still have a very long way to go in this country.

False flag

Dis women are silly

If INEC can't conduct a credible election in just a single state, how much more a whole country? Nigeria is doomed!

jp philips:

I don't think so, AIT went round most churches in Idemmili and they were filled to capacity, who did the voting then?

The accreditation was extended to 2PM. Elections there started by 2pm, so what are you saying sir? The point is, even if APC wins 70percent of the votes there, they wont still win. They should give it up. No hope for APC in Anambra!!
