Anambra Elections Will Be Safe – Sen. AbaribeĀ
Nov. 2, 2021
Senate minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe on Tuesday said the forthcoming Anambra elections will be safe amid fears that the poll may be marred by low turnout of voters.
According to Abaribe,āI donāt think low voter turnout is pecuiliar to Anambra state,ā he said. āFor a long time in Nigeria, a lot of people have not bothered to vote because they have always felt that their votes do not count.
The Senator who gave the assurance while speaking on Channels Televisionās Politics Today said,Ā āI was in Anambra last week and we went around, to the market, to the universities, and we met business leaders. I also spoke and I went to the radio stations, and everything I was doing was to tell people to come out and vote because itās going to be very safe, and that people should not be afraid that there will be a lot of violence; there wonāt be.
āThe skirmishes that happened earlier, what we thought was that it was designed to make people not come out to vote, for a particular end. And that end I donāt think is going to work. Because we have now been there; weāve talked to people.ā
