Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has expressed satisfaction in the ongoing 2023 general election in the state, describing it as orderly.

The governor who made the assertion after casting his vote at his polling unit 002, Ofeiyi, Umueze, Isuofia, Aguata Council Area at exactly 1:55 p.m. said that “the so-called sit-at-home directive” issued by some non-state actors was disregarded by the people as they trooped out in large numbers to perform their civic duties.

He observed that apart from some instances or reported cases of late arrival of materials, INEC as the electoral umpire has improved on the usage of the Bimodial Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

While expressing satisfaction based on the reports reaching him in regards to the entire process, Soludo said: “The election is peaceful and orderly because Anambra State is secured and equally peaceful.”

He called on the citizens to shun all manner of violence or electoral malpractice as they continued to troop out to cast their votes.
