 ‘Empty barrels’ – Otti dismisses Uzor Kalu, Orji, Ikpeazu opposition gang-up Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Abians to disregard recent remarks by some leaders of the opposition in the state. Governor Otti who was speaking on Saturday at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the church building, said that those who are gathering against him were the same people that failed to develop the state in the past. Otti was reacting to an alliance formed against his re-election by former Abia governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu. The governor slammed the opposition members for pursuing personal interest above the collective development of Abia, declaring that every gathering they are making against him would collapse. He said, “Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days. “I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it’s always the empty barrel that makes...

 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.
