Former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of Labour Party in 2023, Mr Peter Obi has cast his vote in the ongoing governorship election in the state.
Obi voter at his polling unit 019, Umudim Akasi, Agulu Ward
2, Anaocha Local Government Area.
Obi voted at exactly 11:46 am.
Speaking with journalists after casting his vote, Obi
lamented Nigeria’s deteriorating democracy.
He said: “Our democracy is deteriorating, and unfortunately,
those who are benefiting from bad governance seem to be fueling it.
“I have been able to listen and move around to see what is
happening, and it is bad that we still experience vote buying. Someone who is
not employed collects N30,000 for his vote, that means you have sold your
school, your hospital, your job opportunities and selling away your future.
That is what is very worrisome about our democracy.
“Other countries, even west African countries that are close
to us where I have observed election, I haven’t seen something like this
happening. This must stop.
“I’m not on the ballot, but I’m a member of Labour Party and
I support my candidate, Dr George Moghalu. All the people contesting are my
friends and I wish them well.”
