 Peter Obi Votes in Anambra Governorship Election, Decries Vote-Buying and Deteriorating Democracy


Former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, cast his vote at 11:46 a.m. on Saturday at Polling Unit 019, Umudim Akasi, Agulu Ward 2, Anaocha Local Government Area, during the ongoing governorship election.


Speaking to journalists after voting, Obi expressed deep concern over the state of Nigeria’s democracy, describing it as “deteriorating” and alleging that beneficiaries of poor governance are exacerbating the decline.


He strongly condemned widespread vote-buying, noting instances where unemployed individuals were offered ₦30,000 for their votes.


“Our democracy is deteriorating, and unfortunately, those who are benefiting from bad governance seem to be fueling it,” Obi said.


“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 elections, I haven’t seen something like this happening. This must stop.”


Though not a candidate in the election, Obi reaffirmed his support for the Labour Party’s governorship candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, while extending goodwill to all contestants.


“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,” he added.


Voting continues across Anambra State amid reports of electoral malpractices and logistical challenges in several areas.
