Pay us now! Drama in Anambra as voters follow party agent for their money
Recall that Legit.ng reported that one of the greatest ills of Nigerian election - vote buying - is brazenly playing out in Anambra state governorship election.
Party agents of most of the leading parties are allegedly inducing voters with different amount of money ranging from N500 to N10, 000.
According to a report, an agent was seen meeting voters after they had cast their votes and writing down their names on a sheet of paper; apparently with a view to paying them later.
INEC extends voting time in Anambra due to malfunction of BVAS
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said voting will be extended to 4 pm in Anambra state due to the malfunction of the Biometric Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) in several polling units across the state.
The announcement was made by Dr Nkwachukwu Orji, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Anambra after briefing the media at the commission's state headquarters in Awka.
Orji said there is a possibility of the election continuing on Sunday, November 7. He admitted that the BVAS did not work in several polling units across the state, therefore, slowing down the accreditation and voting process.
