  Kenechukwu Ofomah Awka The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in Anambra State has expressed disappointment over what it called the shameful and inexcusable failures characterizing the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise across the State.  It has also expressed concerns that what should have been a seamless civic process, has become a deliberate scheme to disenfranchise Anambra in many communities. Recall that TNC had reported the numerous hiccups that characterized the process, where men and equipment deployed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC were grossly insufficient for the teeming number of people who turned out for the exercise, as well as the insufficient bandwidth to power the data capturing machines. According to a statement on Thursday by its Publicity Secretary, Barr.

  By Our Correspondent  The Campaign Organization of Chief George Moghalu and Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro, Labour Party candidates for the Anambra State governorship election, has responded sharply to remarks by Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe, Coordinator of the APGA Media Warriors, who dismissed the Labour Party’s pledge to secure over two million votes in the November 8, 2025, election as “laughable.” In a press statement issued on July 16, 2025, signed by Mr. Onyebuchi Okoye, Special Assistant on Media to Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party described Obigwe’s comments as a sign of discomfort and a reflection of a mindset “trapped in yesterday’s politics.” The statement accused the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) of relying on outdated tactics and emotional slogans like “Nke bu nke anyi” to manipulate voters, asserting that Ndi Anambra are now demanding results, dignity, and trustworthy leadership.
