I made bold to say that after I watched the debate, almost all contestants in this election are preeminently qualified except the Uba of APC. YES! And thankfully, he has been DISGRACED!
In life, may we never meet friends such as Alexreports, who knows clearly that the Pain Doctor cannot even win his LGA, but continued brainwashing him and organizing online polls and e-certificate of return to him.
Easy Bro.. Take it easy on him. .. He tried with the online publicity. At least, he will soon head to the Tribunal too. .. The waste of money continues
Dear Adorers, there is a particular audio flying around where Fr. Mbaka was heard saying that the Heavenly Hosts had rejected Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo in an election.
When I inquired further about this audio, I was meant to know that it was released in 2013 election when Soludo was up against Willie Obiano who was Peter Obi's candidate. That actually means that Fr. Mbaka's prophecy came true in that particular election. But in this year's election, Fr. Mbaka never chose any particular candidate to win.
Dear friends please be very careful of how you open your mouth wide to condemn what you don't understand. In the area of criticism, one has to be sure of what is being criticized so as to know what exactly to say and not to say.
People are condemning Fr. Mbaka on that particular audio, asking him whether "Ndi Eluigwe" as he mentioned in that audio can actually change.
And I tell you today that NDỊ ELUIGWE (The Heavenly Hosts) can change their stand anytime any day. If you don't understand the things of God and the spirit, you need to be quiet and run away from self inflicted curses.
In Isaiah 38:1-5 and 2Kings 20:1-6, King Hezekiah became very sick and the prophet Isaiah brought God's prophecy to the King telling him that according to the words of God, He should put his house in order because HE WILL DIE from his current sickness and there will be NO RECOVERY. When the prophet Isaiah left the King, the King faced the wall and prayed to God to remember how he did his best to keep his commandments and rule his people in the fear of Him.
God sent the prophet Isaiah back to King Hezekiah to tell him that his prayers has been heard and 15yrs more has been added to his life. This is the Heavenly host (Ndị Eluigwe) changing a decision that was already made.
When we pray to God, we want God to actually give us all we ask for and at the time we ask for it. Ndị Eluigwe might have rejected Soludo's ambition and prayer in 2013 because he wasn't ready for it then and he may have become a terrible Governor if he had been granted his wish at that particular election. But if he eventually becomes the Governor, then know it that God has seen him as mature enough to carry the weight of the office.
A little boy of 5yrs can ask God for a power bike because he has seen and loved it. But God cannot answer such a prayer not because the little boy was joking when he prayed, No but because if he was granted that wish the little boy might attract Armed Robbers or be involved in an accident. Ndị Eluigwe will say No to that boy at that time and may later provide his wish when he is old and responsible enough.
God can reject you and your prayers now because He knows it is NOT YET your time to take it up. When it is your time, Ndị Eluigwe will smile at you.
God's ways are not our ways, SO RELAX and stop the Unimaginable Criticisms.
.. .. The audio said that if he fail in that Election, that he would be so badly disgraced that he cannot come out for any Election Again. .. That particular line of the prophecy didn't come true.
This guy talks like as if he doesn't know Anambra Well.. .. Connect to the center and be doing what there?? .. Anambra People are not sheepish followers ooo
STATEMENT BY THE RETURNING OFFICER FOR THE ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION, PROFESSOR FLORENCE BANKU OBI, ON THE SUSPENSION OF COLLATION OF RESULTS PENDING THE CONDUCT OF A SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTION IN IHIALA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA. (... SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2021.)
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Let me commence by sincerely thanking all of you, particularly the polling agents of the political parties, for the peaceful and decorous manner we have conducted affairs so far. The brotherly spirit which has come through today is not only noteworthy, but also worthy of emulation. As you all know, we have collated results for twenty (20) out of twenty-one (21) Local Government Areas. The outstanding result is for Ihiala Local Government Area where, for various reasons, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could not deploy yesterday. Consequently, based on Constitutional considerations, provisions of the Electoral Act and the Revised Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections issued by the Commission, supplementary election is indicated for Ihiala Local Government Area.
First, Section 179 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) provides that to be declared the winner of the Governorship election, a candidate must secure both the highest number of votes cast and 25% of the votes cast in at least two-thirds of the Local Government Areas of the State. Therefore, it is important to complete the election in Ihiala Local Government Area in order to make that determination.
Similarly, Section 179 (3) of the Constitution provides that a run-off election shall take place if no candidate meets the requirements of Sub-section 2 of that Section. Such a run-off shall be between the candidate with the highest number of votes and one among the remaining candidates who secured a majority of votes in the highest number of Local Government Areas in the State. This further underscores the importance of conducting election in all the Local Government Areas before a declaration can be made.
Secondly, Section 26 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) envisages the postponement of an election where there is a cogent and verifiable reason to do so, especially threat of breach of the peace. One major reason for not deploying for election in Ihiala on Saturday, 6th November 2021, is security threat which led to staffing and transportation constraints, among others.
Finally, Clause 47 of the Revised Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections provides that supplementary election shall be conducted where the Commission due to logistical challenges is unable to deploy on election day.
Given the foregoing, it becomes imperative to bring Ihiala Local Government Area at par with the other twenty (20) Local Government Areas in this election before we can make a valid declaration or take any further necessary action based on the extant law.
Therefore, I, Professor Florence Banku Obi, in my capacity as Returning Officer for this election, hereby announce the suspension of the process of collation of results and declaration of a winner until the supplementary election is held in the 326 Polling Units in Ihiala Local Government of the State.
I have conferred with the Commission, being the body responsible for fixing the date of the election, and the Commission has decided that the supplementary election will take place on Tuesday, 9th November 2021. Thereafter, the collation of results shall resume.
Once more, I thank you all for your exceptional conduct so far and appeal to you to support INEC during the supplementary election so that we can bring this election to a satisfactory conclusion for the good people of Anambra State and to the glory of God.
.. Please Note: The earlier speculated date (13th November, 2021) was just a suggestion. The final concluded date for the run-off is 9th November 2021.

jditimiya: This election will open lot of people eyes.
The People can now tell the Governor what they want, and the Governor will listen and put their words into consideration. The People can Effectively And Efficiently threaten him with voting him out, and he would get the message immediately. .. The People will no more be afraid of the Governor.. Rather, the Governor should be the one that would be so much afraid of the people.
I won't rate the performance high.. .. The BVAS disenfranchised a lot of voters. They went home angered without casting their votes. .. .. Again,, for the fact that APC rejected the election, then I won't rate it high. .. The Election was not accepted by all the stakeholders that are involved.
How will you feel if your mother gets pregnant for your driver and end up marrying him
If my mother happen to be a widow, and she had spent most of her life as a single lonely widowed woman,, my dear, any guy that comes into her life to make her glow again would be okay be me. Even if I am older than the guy with 20years. Even if the guy is a truck-pusher. .. All I know is that, I won't interfere. And she shouldn't ever call me for any type of assistance or advice that would have to do with the relationship.
Buh then again, With d unknown Gunmen brouhaha, a Lot of People decided to eat Ofe Nsala and Pundo at home instead of risking dear life that ain’t got no duplicate.
Udo!!
.. .. Even if anybody should stay at home, it shouldn't be APC.. Habbaaa.!!
