Anambra governor rewards voter who rejected APC’s bribe to vote against APGA
An indigene of Ukwulu in Amagu village, ward 1 polling unit 04 of Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, Mrs Eunice Ngozi Onuegbusi on Thursday rewarded with the sum of N1,000,000 by the Executive governor of Anambra State, Mr Willie Obiano.
The voter smiled to bank for rejecting N5,000 from APC agents in her polling unit in order for her to vote against her conscience on Saturday, November 6, 2021.
The woman was seen rejecting the ‘bribe for vote’ in a video which went viral before it caught the attention of the State governor.
Before presenting the cash reward, Obiano said: “Madam Eunice knew that though money could buy her temporary relief, but Anambra would be a better place if she voted according to her conscience.
“It belongs to our loyal party men and women who resisted temptations of financial inducement from rival parties to fight under the banner of APGA because they knew that victory for APGA is victory for the ordinary citizens of our dear state.
“And finally, it belongs to Ndi Anambra at home and in the Diaspora who stood behind APGA, not because we have met all the expectations of our people but because even in the foundation my Team and I have laid so far, they see enough sunlight to believe that Anambra State is like the sun which is bound to rise, against all odds. And that is why we won this election.”
