Obi who came to vote in the company of his wife at 9:03 am said it was rather too early to say which way the vote would sway.

Similarly, the Anambra State Governor has called on people with voters card to come out en-masse to exercise their civic responsibility or be disenfranchised.

He said, “I encourage Ndi Anambra to come out and perform their civic responsibility in order to help Nigeria move forward.”

Obiano’s ward, Aguleri ward 1 was however without the usual crowd that comes out during voting exercise.

But the Governor who came out to vote at 10:15 am in the company of his wife said the low voters turn out was not anything to worry about saying that the voters whose polling booth was there were living close by and would come out to vote before the close of the voting exercise.

As at 10:30 am, election materials were yet to arrive at Iyiowa Odekpe in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State.
