Zoludo should buy enough Malt that is what it takes to win election in Anambra.

Folks sell their souls for as little as a can of Malt.

Soludo have been kissing tinubu back side for the past few weeks it should be an easy win for him. Hopefully tinubu doesn't send his boys to spill some few blood for fun, you know that is what he is good at.

I didn't even know they will be a gubernatorial election today in Anambra oo. This Trump matter don take over every thing for Naija. Chai

I really wish Soludo can be booted out but Ndi Anambra are not showing any signs of doing that.

So, Soludo might just retain his seat.

Such a painful reality to admit.🤦

Soludo my man, husband of Ipob victory is certain, go on my man

Let us watch APGA vs INEC. Because the terrorist party can do and undo

There is no restriction of movement in SANER climes like USA and UK, yet their turnout is good and no buying, selling of votes and no electoral malpractices.

Compare that to Nigeria where they make the day a public holiday, restrict movement, police and army in the streets but end up with low voters turnout and many electoral malpractices.

my state .SOLUDO IS THE SOLUTION

APGA top to bottom
AAC candidate will get special appointment in dza odza room affairs
She will also get a customized leg chain

Let's see if obi can win his state... I knw if he loses y'all will say rigging... But despite all federal might kwankwaso still influences kano votes.... So we'll see if LP candidate arbi na ADC candidate vote go near APGA votes.... Today na today

This is in house na, we don't talk about in house matters. Bring us Lagos elections. Folks like Oby&Obi, Betty&Kalu don't dare these sacred grounds.
