vedaxcool: Anambra is not begging APC for their presidential ticket. Rochas Okorocha took half of APGA against sound advice to merge with CPC in the north, and ACN in the west to form APC. How far with Okorocha? APC couldn't even allow him pick a successor the way Tinubu has successfully done in the west. He is not even in the reckoning to aspire for presidency because he knew rather (too late) that it is an exercise in futility. This is despite the fact that APC is ruling Imo state. Peter Obi was smart not to make that move. He remain resolute with what remained of APGA and years later here we are. He left our regional party the way he met it without allowing hyenas to swallow up Ojukwu legacy. What you can not do for Igbos as a result of APC being in charge of Ebonyi and Imo state, then keep it ndi Anambra do not need it. If there were benefits inherent in having APC government in Igboland, use Imo and Ebonyi to show ndi Anambra "pepper". Enough of that childish blackmail biko!! 9 Likes |

We need his calibre as governor in all 5 eastern states. There was a time we use to have Micheal Okpara, Dee Sam Mbakwe and likes in Alaigbo. Today, money politics have succeeded in throwing up useless people as Igbo leaders. 88 Likes 8 Shares |

On the contrary, Peter Obi sold APGA to Anambra electorates body and soul. He restored a kind of trust in government with APGA and Ndi Anambra still resonate with his good governance. No matter Willie Obiano shortcomings, ndi Anambra will always feel safe with APGA than PDP or APC at state level. National level is a different ball game as have been proven. 9 Likes 1 Share |

 It was a temporary cash out. They will still return to Apga. Andy Ubah has oil well and you know say oil money dey sweet. They all knew he stood no chance. In Anambra you don't buy politicians to win election, you talk directly to the people and sell yourself to them. Ndi Anambra already know who their next governor is since 3 years ago because Soludo stayed in Anambra and made himself visible. That was subtle campaign. Abuja politicians just come down few months before election thinking they could buy everyone. No way! 27 Likes |
| Politics / Anambradecides: Voting May Be Extended Till Sunday If Necessary, Says INEC by gwafaeziokwu: 3:34am On Nov 07, 2021 |
November 06 20:26 2021 The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says voting in the Anambra governorship election may continue on Sunday if those currently on the queue are unable to cast their votes today. Due to the malfunctioning of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) in some polling units across the state, the commission had earlier extended the voting time in affected areas till 4pm. But there are indications that the voting time may have to be further extended as some persons were still voting at past 7pm. There were also reports that the commission has extended the voting till Sunday. But speaking with TheCable on Saturday, Rotimi Oyekanmi, chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, said the commission has not officially extended voting till Sunday. “At this point, election has not been officially extended till tomorrow. However, we are harvesting areas where voting will realistically no longer take place today, including places where substantial disruption occurred, to enable a recommencement of voting at another time, in line with extant laws as well as the commission’s regulations and guidelines,” he said. “The implication of this is that voting time which was initially extended to 4pm may extend till tomorrow. If there are so many people on the queue in such a way that all of them can no longer vote today, then voting will resume tomorrow. “If voting is able to end today, for instance at 7pm instead of 4pm, depending on the decision of the presiding officer, so be it. But if they (presiding officers) feel that at some point in time, they can no longer continue, maybe because it has gotten dark, they will stop at that point and then ask the remaining voters to come the following day to cast their ballot. And once the voting ends the following day, we’ll conclude the process.” Tags #AnambraDecideselectionINECvoting https://www.thecable.ng/anambradecides-voting-may-be-extended-till-sunday-if-necessary-says-inec |

These hoodlums are by no means Ipob members. It is obvious that APC plan to stop election in Ihiala local government so they could write results. An INEC official was caught red handed with election results written in favour of APC even when there was no election in almost all the polling units. Unfortunately for them ndi Anambra mu anya ka azu. He was saved from mob attack by Anambra deputy speaker who brought in the police. Only empty politicians would shy away from real vote canvassing while hoping for rigging. 2 Likes |
| Politics / #anambradecides: Election Suspended In Ihiala LGA As Hoodlums Attack INEC Offici by gwafaeziokwu: 3:12am On Nov 07, 2021 |
Samuel Akpan NOVEMBER 6, 2021 11:21 PM The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has suspended the governorship election in Ihiala LGA of Anambra state. The election was suspended following the outbreak of violence in various polling units in the LGA. INEC officials reported being attacked by hoodlums in different communities across the LGA. An INEC official, who preferred to remain anonymous, told TheCable that the hoodlums disrupted the election and claimed they were enforcing the sit-at-home order earlier imposed by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This is despite the fact that the sit-at-home directive had been suspended by IPOB hours before the election. Some INEC officials also told TheCable that residents in the area disrupted the election in some polling units because of the late arrival of voting materials. “We were blocked on our way to the polling units in Okija community. We met some hoodlums who barricaded the roads, saying we can’t go for the election. They also said they were not interested in election as long as there is sit-at-home order,” a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving as an election official said. Another INEC ad hoc official, who identified herself simply as Comfort, said hoodlums accused staff of the electoral body of planning to rig the election. “Some youths attacked us seriously. They even accused us of planning to change results. They said we were supposed to travel together with other INEC officials. They said we were planning to change the results and because of that, they started beating some of us. So, we had to turn back,” she told TheCable. Another INEC ad hoc staff, a corps member who identified himself as Peter, said lateness to the polling units led to attacks in some areas. “I think our lateness to the Ogbolo wards frustrated the hoodlums to strike violence. In fact, some of us were eventually attacked. We had to find motorcycles to find our way out of the place, and we were told to start going home,” he said. It is not yet clear when the election will be conducted in the LGA. |

Once it comes to Igbo issue every Nigerian suddenly raise the standard and start shifting the goal posts. Even people willing to vote a Buhari with NEPA certificate want to form sophiscation. What kind of lobbying did Obasanjo do to clinch the 1999 presidency. Alex Ekwueme spear headed the formation of PDP, built up a winning political machinery and gave it up just to assuage the feelings of the Southwest. Mention, just one southwest politician in the PDP as at then that could untie the political shoes of Alex Ekwueme and the strong ties he had build all around the country.

| Politics / Anambradecides2021: INEC Extends Voting Time by gwafaeziokwu: 4:04pm On Nov 06, 2021 |
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the period for opening and closing of Poll from 8.30am to 4.00pm. But the Commission has also made it clear that this revised closing time applies to areas where Polling Units opened after the commencement period of 8.30am, adding that in line with existing regulations and guidelines of the Commission, any intending voter who is on the queue by 4.00 pm shall be allowed to vote. All Polling Unit staff must comply with this directive. This cheering news was contained in a press statement signed by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Anambra State, Dr. Nkwachukwu Orji and made available to journalists covering the election to calm frayed nerves over the malfunctioning of the Biomodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) in some Polling Units across the state. The statement read in parts: “The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the period for opening and closing of Poll from 8.30am to 4.00pm.

In line with existing regulations and guidelines of the Commission, any intending voter who is on the queue by 4.00 pm shall be allowed to vote. All Polling Unit staff must comply with this directive. The extension of time arose out of several field reports that voters have had problems with accreditation. The Commission is currently investigating the reason the accreditation devices, Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), have worked perfectly in some Polling Units, but not in others. In some of the cases, it would seem that this resulted from software glitches. Our technicians have already built an update to the devise software to prevent further challenges. The update is currently being installed in the concerned BVAS and we request voters, candidates and agents to be patient and allow our technical staff to solve the problem. The Commission wishes to reiterate that in cases of sustained malfunction of the BVAS, the Presiding Officer must inform the voters and polling agents that accreditation and voting for the affected Polling Unit shall continue tomorrow or at another time determined by the Commission. With this extension of time and the recommencement of accreditation where the BVAS consistently malfunctions, the Commission assures that no voter will be disenfranchised. Our deployment has also been adversely affected by transportation challenges in some locations. It must be noted that on account of security concerns, some of the transporters that were mobilized and collected 50% of their sign on fee backed out at the last moment, leaving some of our ad-hoc staff stranded. Also, some of the trained ad-hoc staff backed out at the last moment. The Commission is on top of these challenges and extant regulations and guidelines will be applied on a case by case bases.
