The All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Nicholas Ukachukwu, has cast his vote, alleging vote buying and intimidation of his party’s agents in the ongoing 2025 Anambra governorship election.
Ukachukwu, who voted at his polling unit in Osumenyi Ward 2,
Polling Unit 012, described the development as a threat to democracy.
“If there’s no seller, there cannot be a buyer. Some people
have chosen to sell their conscience, which is even worse than those buying
votes.
“When you give up your right for money, you lose your voice
as a citizen. You can’t cry later, society must be blamed for encouraging
this,” the APC candidate said after casting his vote.
He added that one of his agents was assaulted during the
voting exercise.
When asked about the situation in Ihiala, one of the state’s
flashpoints, Ukachukwu said there had been no major violence or casualties so
far.
Meanwhile, the election has caused traffic disruptions in
Onitsha, as security officials cordoned off the Niger Bridge to restrict
movement and ensure the safe transport of election materials and personnel.
Voting continues across Anambra’s 21 local government areas,
with over 5,700 polling units open. By 8:30 a.m., accreditation and voting had
commenced peacefully in areas such as Fegge Community Primary School, Onitsha.
