PHOTO: Take A Look at the N50 Indomie PDP Shared to Induce Voters #AnambraDecides



There is no doubt that all the political parties, particularly the front contenders in the Anambra Governorship election employed various means to woo voters for their votes.


Some of them either share money, food and several other gift items they believe can sway the voters to their side on the day of election.

But one that catches our attention is the tactics employed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to induce voters. The party engaged in the old habits of election attributed to it with the sharing of Indomie which goes for only 50 naira.

As gathered, the PDP planted agents at various centres to share the Indomie and also promised the villagers N2, 000 in exchange for a vote for the PDP.

At one of the polling units in Nanka Ward 1 at St Jude Umuadala Town Hall, one of the party agents was sighted at the polling center collecting names of would-be voters in preparation for the sharing.

If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
